What Is “Kenmin-wari”

We call The Prefectural Discount “Kenmin-Wari”, “けんみんわり”.

This is a campaign in which local governments subsidize travel expenses.

In addition, discounts targeting areas such as “Kanto” and “Kinki” are sometimes called “block discounts“, but the content of the campaign is the same.

What Is The Discount?

Up to 50% discount on travel costs up to 5,000 yen per person per night.

You’ll also receive a local coupon worth 2,000 yen that can be used at souvenir shops and restaurants during your trip.

By the way, day trips are also included!

Example: A couple travels for 2 nights and 3 days, staying at a hotel for 10,000 yen per person per night

10,000 yen x 2 people x 2 nights = 40,000 yen

The prefectural discount subsidy is “5,000 yen x 2 people x 2 nights = 20,000 yen

In other words…

(original fee) 40,000 yen – (discount subsidy) 20,000 yen

= “actual travel price20,000 yen

In addition, you can get a regional coupon “2,000 yen x 2 people = 4,000 yen“, so you can use it as a souvenir or meal at your travel destination.

Who Can Use It?

For example, Tomin-wari is applied when you live in Tokyo and travel within Tokyo.

On the other hand, Domin-wari is not only for those who live in Hokkaido but also for those who live in the Tohoku region when traveling to Hokkaido.

Example: If you live in Kanagawa Prefecture;

Travel in Kanagawa → Prefectural Discount

Travel in ChibaBlock Discount

Travel in Hokkaidonot eligible for discount

*Currently, the discount conditions are the same for prefectural and block discounts.

How Do We Apply?

The following 8 reservation sites are available for prefectural discounts.

This time, when I used the automatic translation function on my smartphone browser to display the reservation site.

The characters were a little hard to read but they seemed to be used without problems.

Therefore, please change to a language that is easy to read, such as changing to your native language.

However, when applying, if kanji is difficult, please enter in hiragana or katakana.
