Several updates to Japan’s Go To campaign, which offers up to 50% off travel.
First, Sapporo and Osaka have been removed as eligible destinations. Supposedly for 3 weeks from 11/24/202, no new reservations will be accepted, and existing Go To reservations will be cancelled and refunded.
Next, only up to 7 nights of a stay will be discounted. This is to prevent usage for long-term stays that aren’t travel such as business stays.
Also, for digital coupons that are retrieved from goto-travel-ecoupon.jp, SMS verification with a Japanese phone number has become required. Either find a friend with a Japanese phone number or get a SIM card.
