National travel support will begin on January 10.
Under the new nationwide travel support program, a flat 20% of the travel price (up to 5,000 yen per night for travel products that include transportation, and up to 3,000 yen per night for other travel products) will be subsidized, and in principle, electronic coupons will be provided (2,000 yen per night for weekdays and 1,000 yen per night for holidays) that can be used to purchase souvenirs and other items (implementation period (The program will end/resume when the budget limit allocated to each prefecture is reached).
There are regional differences in the “number of vaccinations against the new coronavirus” required to receive these subsidies, and the conditions for application may differ from the previous national travel assistance. Most local governments require “three vaccinations or confirmation of a negative test result such as a PCR test,” but in some cases, “prefectural residents are required to receive two vaccinations. The term “prefectural residents” refers to those who travel within their own prefectures; if they travel to other prefectures, the rules of the destination prefecture naturally apply.
Therefore, the following table summarizes the vaccination rules once again. Although omitted from the table, many municipalities state that children under 12 years of age “do not need to present vaccination history or test certificates,” provided that they are accompanied by a parent or other caregiver who lives with them.
