What is Go To Travel Campaign?

[Updated: July, 2021]
We are currently closing our "Go To Travel" application form as the resumption of the campaign has been suspended due to a state of emergency issued by the Japanese Government.
We will reopen the form once the Go To Travel campaign is resumed or any updated schedule is confirmed.

 

To promote domestic travel and to help encourage local businesses in Japan, the Japanese government has launched the "Go To Travel Campaign" from July 2020.
The campaign provides subsidies of up to 50% on your costs for transportation, hotels and shopping on domestic travels. 
(Please refer to the bottom of this page for the details of this campaign)

Due to the increase of COVID cases in the metropolitan area, Tokyo had been excluded from the campaign, but the Japanese government has recently announced that the travel to/from Tokyo will be added to this campaign starting from October.
Tokyo residents, including non-Japanese residents, and those travelling to/from Tokyo, again, including those who are non-Japanese, will be eligible to receive the discounts starting from October 2020 (applies to a travel that starts from October 1st).

Since most of the information on the Go To Travel Campaign is in Japanese, many of the foreign residents in Japan may not be able to reach the information of this campaign. However, since you have reached our page here, you are now at the right place to start your trip using this campaign.
