Check the dated channel-status table below before paying: a launch date does not guarantee remaining discount inventory. 1. Start with the correct prefecture schedule. 2. Use only an eligible seller and product. 3. Protect your current booking before changing it.

Check the seller’s status before changing a booking

Saga and Oita expressly include visitors to Japan. For any prefecture, confirm your eligibility and required identification with the participating seller. A campaign start date does not guarantee remaining discounted inventory.

Prefecture / rate	Status checked October 26	Eligible nights and channel conditions
Fukuoka · up to 50%	The official site lists hotels, travel agencies and online sellers. An October 8 notice announced additional direct-hotel booking allocations from October 9. Check the chosen seller for remaining inventory. Official campaign	October 1–December 15, 2026; checkout by December 16. The general booking window began September 24, but individual sellers have different release dates.
Saga · up to 50%	The official site marks all seven listed online sellers sold out, including ANA X. Agency and direct-hotel directories are available; their remaining allocations must be checked separately. Official campaign	October 1–December 25, 2026; checkout by December 26. Agency bookings began October 2; direct-hotel bookings began October 13 at 13:00 as each seller became ready.
Nagasaki · up to 50%	The official site reports that both the first and second direct-hotel STAYNAVI coupon allocations have reached their limits; the second opened October 23. Cancellations may allow reopening without notice. Check other sellers separately. Official campaign	General hotel and agency channels cover October 1–December 25, 2026; checkout by December 26. Some advance online products cover only nights through November 30. A direct hotel reservation without the required coupon does not qualify.
Kumamoto · up to 60%	Hotel, travel-company and online booking directories are published. The general sales window began September 15; each seller’s allocation needs confirmation. Official campaign	October 1–December 25, 2026; checkout by December 26. Use a participating seller and an eligible product.
Oita · up to 50%	All three announced channel start dates have passed. Check the official hotel, agency and online seller lists and confirm the discount before booking. Official campaign	Online: October 1–December 25, 2026. Agencies: October 9–December 25. Direct hotels: October 16–December 25. Checkout by December 26.
Miyazaki · up to 50%	The announced online start was September 25; hotels and agencies followed from September 28 as ready. Current inventory is seller-specific. Official campaign	October 1–December 25, 2026; checkout by December 26. Direct hotel reservations also require a STAYNAVI discount coupon; a reservation alone does not secure the subsidy.
Kagoshima · up to 60%	The national program began October 14, 2026. Use its current official seller lists, not the earlier separate campaign that ended October 13. Some online allocations are already marked sold out. Official campaign	Direct hotels: October 14, 2026–February 28, 2027; checkout by March 1. Agencies and online booking sites: October 14, 2026–January 31, 2027; checkout by February 1. All exclude December 26, 2026–January 3, 2027. Seller dates may be narrower.

This is a dated reading of official announcements and seller directories, not a live room or coupon search. “Sold out” refers to the named channel’s allocation; “planned” or “in preparation” is not bookable inventory. All times are Japan Standard Time.

National discount caps

National Kyushu travel discount caps: up to 20,000 yen for accommodation-only or a one-night transport package, 30,000 yen for transport packages of two or more nights, and 35,000 yen for eligible multi-prefecture tours — Open the discount-cap chart at full size

The percentage in the table is limited by the product cap: ¥20,000 per person and trip for accommodation-only or a one-night transport package, ¥30,000 for a transport package of two or more nights, and ¥35,000 for an eligible tour staying in at least two prefectures. Qualifying multi-prefecture products including Kumamoto or Kagoshima may use 60%; check the seller’s product conditions.

At least one overnight stay is required. Separately purchased transport and lodging do not automatically become a qualifying package. Kagoshima’s national program now uses these product caps; its earlier separate campaign ended October 13, 2026.

Three-step Kyushu discount booking checklist: use an official seller, check the complete eligible product and protect an existing reservation before changing it — **Confirm one eligible booking before paying.** Step 1: Open the prefecture’s official seller list. Choose the actual booking route and check its current campaign allocation. An ordinary hotel listing is not automatically eligible. Step 2: Check the complete product, including stay dates, travelers, discount, final total and required identification. Saga and Oita include visitors to Japan; confirm other foreign-visitor or residence checks. Saga and Miyazaki exclude business trips; other exclusions vary. Step 3: Protect an existing reservation. Check replacement stock and cancellation costs, complete any required coupon step, and save confirmation and check-in instructions. Use official prefecture links, do not submit passport or payment information to an unfamiliar registration page, and check transport operations separately from discount eligibility.

Booking note: Japan Joy Guide cannot reserve funding, guarantee eligibility or reimburse cancellation charges. Recheck the exact seller before paying.
