Enjoy dinner in Fukuoka, then stay the night. If you want to save on your hotel, the Kyushu Fukkou Ouenwari Fukuoka campaign offers up to 50% off eligible costs. Rakuten lists additional coupons that started on October 30, while Jalan continues to display a suspension notice. Eligible stays run through the night of December 15, with check-out by December 16. Start by comparing discounts available for your dates with the total cost of regular plans.
November 8 update: Rakuten lists additional coupons; Jalan remains suspended
| Booking option | What we confirmed on November 8 | How to plan your stay |
|---|---|---|
| Rakuten Travel | Additional coupons starting October 30 at noon are listed: six accommodation coupons and two Rakupack flight-and-hotel coupons. Check the campaign page for current availability. | Choose a coupon for your hotel’s area and number of nights, then check the discount during booking. |
| Jalan | Both domestic accommodation and JAL/ANA Jalan Pack still show Fukuoka bookings suspended after reaching the budget limit. | Check each campaign page for reopening notices. Compare regular plans too if your travel dates matter most. |
| Direct hotel bookings | The October 9 noon opening was an earlier announcement. Check each hotel for current discount availability. | Use the participating hotel list, then check the hotel’s website or call to ask about discounts for your dates and how to apply. |
Rakuten’s Fukuoka page lists additional coupons starting October 30, with conditions for six accommodation coupons and two Rakupack coupons. Jalan continues to display a suspension notice. Funding can run out after bookings open, so check the latest status and confirm the discount during booking before completing your reservation.

Rakuten: check the October 30 coupons for your area and stay length
Start with Rakuten’s Fukuoka coupon page (Japanese) and check whether the coupon you want is currently available. Coupons starting October 30 at noon are listed, but this does not guarantee that funding remains. If a coupon shows ended or its usage limit has been reached, do not book expecting to use it. Compare other booking options or regular plans.
- Accommodation coupons are divided by area: Fukuoka City, Kitakyushu City, and the rest of Fukuoka Prefecture. Choose the one for your hotel’s location.
- One-night coupons apply only to a one-night stay, with a discount limit of JPY 20,000 per person per night. Two-night coupons apply only to a two-night stay, with a limit of JPY 10,000 per person per night. Match the coupon to your stay length.
- If the coupon is available, collect it and choose an eligible hotel and plan. Check the coupon and discounted total on the booking confirmation screen before completing the reservation.
Collecting a coupon does not reserve funding. Discounts are allocated in order of completed bookings, and you cannot add the coupon after booking. For the additional accommodation coupons, the booking period is October 30 at 12:00 to December 15 at 23:59, for stays from October 30 check-in through December 16 check-out. Rakupack lists travel from October 31 departure through December 16 return. Funding may run out before these deadlines. Source: Rakuten’s dates and coupon conditions (Japanese).
Jalan: check the suspension notice; compare prices and terms for regular plans
When checked on November 8, Jalan’s Fukuoka domestic accommodation page displayed a suspension notice because the budget limit had been reached. Any reopening will be announced on its campaign page, but we could not confirm an announced date or time. The listed eligible stay period is October 8 check-in through December 16 check-out. Source: Jalan’s latest Fukuoka information (Japanese).
- First check the campaign page for a reopening announcement. While bookings are suspended, do not book expecting the discount, even if your stay meets the eligibility conditions.
- If reopening is announced, sign in with a Recruit ID and choose an eligible plan for your dates, guests and number of rooms. Guest bookings are excluded.
- You do not need to collect the coupon in advance. On the payment information screen, check that campaign coupon use is selected and that the discount amount is shown. If it is not shown, the property or dates may be ineligible, or the budget limit may have been reached. Do not assume that the discount has been applied.
If you choose a regular plan, compare prices using the same dates, guests and meals. Making a regular booking now does not mean the discount will be added automatically if campaign bookings reopen. Changes after booking also have deadlines and other conditions. Source: Jalan’s conditions (Japanese).

For other booking options, see the official Fukuoka list of booking websites and travel agencies (Japanese). Yahoo! Travel’s Fukuoka section (Japanese) lists a booking deadline of November 15 at 23:59, but this does not guarantee that bookings or discount funding remain available until then. Check each provider’s latest status and confirm the discount on the booking screen.

Kyushu Fukkou Ouenwari supports tourism recovery in Kyushu after the 2026 Kumamoto earthquake. Fukuoka’s eligible dates do not extend through the year-end and New Year holidays. Existing reservations do not receive an automatic discount: you must use the specified booking option and application method. Sources: Fukuoka Prefecture’s announcement / Japan Tourism Agency information (Japanese).
International visitors are eligible for the campaign, but bookings through Rakuten Travel’s foreign-language website are excluded. Check the conditions on Rakuten’s Japanese domestic accommodation website. Visitor eligibility and eligible booking channels are separate conditions. Sources: official Fukuoka FAQ (Japanese PDF) / Rakuten’s conditions (Japanese).
How much could you save? A JPY 24,000 stay for two
For accommodation-only bookings, the discount is 50% of the eligible cost, up to JPY 20,000 per person, per trip. Here are examples if the coupon and other conditions are met and the discount is applied. All amounts are in Japanese yen (JPY).
| Example eligible accommodation cost | Discount | Cost after discount |
|---|---|---|
| 1 person: JPY 12,000 | JPY 6,000 | JPY 6,000 |
| 2 people: JPY 24,000 in total (JPY 12,000 per person) | JPY 12,000 in total | JPY 12,000 in total |
| 1 person: JPY 60,000 | JPY 20,000 maximum | JPY 40,000 |
These are calculation examples, not live prices or available rooms. They do not include other discounts. Accommodation tax and bathing tax are generally outside the discount and may be charged separately.
The JPY 20,000 limit is per person, per trip—not per night. For accommodation-only bookings, one trip runs from the first check-in to check-out. Splitting consecutive nights into separate bookings by repeatedly checking in and out may lead to a later review or a request to repay the subsidy. Rakuten’s two-night coupon also has a limit of JPY 10,000 per person per night. Sources: Fukuoka’s rules on trips and consecutive nights (Japanese) / Rakuten’s coupon conditions (Japanese).
Packages with transport have limits of JPY 20,000 for one night or JPY 30,000 for two or more nights. Qualifying tours with overnight stays in at least two prefectures have a JPY 35,000 limit. All limits are per person, per trip. Some tours including stays in either Kumamoto or Kagoshima offer up to 60% off. These differ from a separate Fukuoka hotel booking; combining independent hotel reservations does not automatically qualify. Travel packages that include overnight stays outside Kyushu are excluded.

Hakata, Tenjin or hot springs? Choose from five areas
To narrow your choices, decide where you want to spend the evening and where you will go the next morning. I would choose a hotel that makes it easy to get from dinner to the next day’s plans.
| Your trip | Where to look | What to compare |
|---|---|---|
| Arrive by Shinkansen, drop off your bags and explore | Near Hakata Station | Distance from the station exit, luggage storage and next morning’s departure |
| Shopping, cafés and city walks | Tenjin / Daimyo | Nearest subway station and route back from dinner |
| Dinner and a riverside walk | Nakasu / Haruyoshi | Room location, surroundings at night and reviews about noise |
| Relax at a hot spring inn | Harazuru Onsen / Chikugogawa Onsen | Dinner time, shuttle or parking, and meal-inclusive plans |
| Walk through a historic port area | Mojiko | Distance to sights and your journey home |
Choose an area, then compare the total cost of two or three hotels using the same dates, guests, rooms and meals. Deciding whether you want hotel breakfast or breakfast in town can help you narrow down the plans.

Direct bookings: ask each hotel about discounts for your dates
An official notice on October 8 announced additional direct hotel discount applications from October 9 at noon. This was an earlier opening announcement; it does not mean that all properties still have discount funding on November 8. Source: official Fukuoka updates (Japanese).
Find hotels in the official participating accommodation list (Japanese). For properties that accept direct bookings, check their official website or call to confirm whether the discount is available for your dates, which plans qualify, how to apply and when the discount is confirmed. When applying, tell the hotel that you want to use Kyushu Fukkou Ouenwari. The lead guest must also provide identification and complete a subsidy application form.
Some listed hotels do not accept direct bookings or have no rooms available during the eligible period. Available rooms and discount funding are separate, so check the total after discount and the cancellation terms before applying. Direct hotel bookings and Rakuten or Jalan coupons use different booking channels.
Five things to check before booking
- Do your booking date, stay dates and number of nights meet the provider’s and coupon’s conditions?
- Are your hotel, plan and booking channel eligible?
- Are the eligible coupon and discounted price shown during booking? For direct bookings, have you checked the hotel’s application status and confirmation steps?
- Is the total within your budget, including accommodation tax, meals, parking and other charges?
- Have you checked when cancellation fees apply, their amounts, and any identification or document requirements?
If you already have a reservation, check its cancellation terms and whether a new booking can receive the discount first. Cancellation fees are not covered, and rooms or funding may run out while you rebook. Do not cancel your original reservation just because you have collected a coupon.
What about weekends, children and business travel?
The official Fukuoka FAQ includes weekends and public holidays, and children and infants count toward eligible guest numbers. Business travel, day trips and daytime room use without an overnight stay are excluded. Enter children’s numbers, meals and bedding according to the booking provider’s conditions. Source: official FAQ (Japanese PDF).
Check your dates and prices, then choose your hotel
Check Rakuten’s current coupon display or ask the hotel directly to find out whether you can use the campaign discount. If your dates or preferred hotel matter most, compare regular plans under the same conditions too. Choose your dates, number of guests and meal preferences, then narrow your choices to two or three hotels. Finding a hotel with a total price within your budget, a convenient location and cancellation terms you are comfortable with helps you get ready to enjoy Fukuoka.
