If you want to use the Kyushu Fukko-Wari (九州ふっこう割, Kyushu recovery travel discount) on a weekday in November or December, where can you use it, how do you book, and until when is it valid? We asked HotelME, a hotel search app available in ChatGPT, to “find weekday stays where the Kyushu Fukko-Wari can be used,” and on November 1, 2026 we published 27 articles based on those results and each prefecture’s official pages. This page is an index of those 27 articles, organized by question, area, type of stay, and individual property. HotelME is a service provided by MetroEngines Inc., the operator of HotelBank. The content reflects HotelME search results and the official pages of each prefecture and property as of November 1, 2026, and does not guarantee availability or that the discount will apply.
The articles were published on HotelBank and on the six consumer travel media we operate (HotelPicks, Wabistay, Yadolist, Tabilog, Kazokustay, and Innippon); the linked articles on those six sites are in Japanese. Eligible dates and rates vary by property and by date, so they are not listed here; please see each article. The 46 hotels introduced on October 30 and 31 are compiled in our prefecture-by-prefecture list of Kyushu Fukko-Wari hotels.
- — A HotelME search on November 1, 2026 found eligible plans on the official booking sites of 81 properties across 6 prefectures: Fukuoka, Saga, Kumamoto, Oita, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima (searched for check-in from November 2 to December 25, 2 adults, 1 room, 1 night). Kumamoto had the most, with 27 properties.
- — The discount rate is 50% (60% in Kumamoto and Kagoshima). Per the Japan Tourism Agency’s wording, the cap is ¥20,000 per person per trip, not per night.
- — In most prefectures, eligible stays run through December 25. Fukuoka’s ends on December 15, while direct bookings with properties in Kagoshima are eligible through February 28, 2027 (excluding December 26 to January 3).
- — How you receive the discount differs by prefecture. In some, the property applies the discount at check-in or a similar point; in others (Miyazaki and Nagasaki), you must obtain a coupon on STAYNAVI after booking. Business trips are excluded in every prefecture.
- — In many prefectures the discount ends when each property’s allocated budget runs out, and the prefecture’s property list marks individual properties as “sold out” (in Kumamoto, 277 of 949 properties as of October 31). Check the prefecture’s list and the property’s official booking page before booking.

What to Check Before Booking
- The discount applies mainly to eligible plans on the property’s official booking site (plans whose names include the prefecture’s campaign name or similar). You select the stay date, number of guests, and plan yourself on the official booking page. Whether phone bookings are accepted varies by property.
- In prefectures where the property applies the discount at check-in, you will be asked to fill out an application form and show identification. In Miyazaki and Nagasaki, the discount is not applied unless you obtain a coupon on STAYNAVI after booking.
- If you cancel, the discount is lost and the cancellation fee is borne by the guest (Oita gives an example in which it is calculated on the pre-discount price). Bookings made before each prefecture’s start date are not eligible.
- HotelME searches count adults only. If travelling with children, check children’s rates and the maximum number of guests per room on the property’s official booking page or with the property directly.
- When the prefecture’s budget or a property’s allocation runs out, sales can end without notice, even during the campaign period.
