Hometown tax donations make travel more accessible

When you think of hometown tax, you probably have a strong image of making a donation and waiting for a gift to arrive in return.
While receiving local specialties and famous products is appealing, what travel enthusiasts are most interested in are "reward gifts that allow them to travel at a bargain price." Typical examples of these are accommodation vouchers and travel coupons.

However, under the previous system, it took time for the rewards to arrive after application, meaning they could not be used immediately when the traveler wanted to go. This was a major drawback for travel enthusiasts.

The solution to this problem is " Ikyu.com Hometown Tax Donation ," which issues coupons at the same time as making a donation .

What's more, we are currently running a campaign where you can receive 10% points back on your donation until the end of September 2025!

Basics and benefits of hometown tax

First, let's review the system. If you already know about it, feel free to skip this section.

• A system for making donations to local governments you want to support
• The amount of the donation minus 2,000 yen will be deducted from your income tax and resident tax for the following year.
• You can receive accommodation vouchers and local specialties as gifts.
• Applications can be easily made through the "tax return" or "one-stop special system"
  
  

In other words, hometown tax donations are a system that allows you to enjoy luxurious gifts in return for a mere self-payment of 2,000 yen .

Six reasons why Resort Style recommends Ikyu's hometown tax donation program

1. Coupon issued at the same time as donation

When you make a donation at Ikyu.com, you will be issued a discount coupon that can be used immediately (approximately 10 minutes after applying).
So you can use it when you want to book a hotel room for tomorrow.

2. 5-year validity period

The reward will be a discount coupon that can be used at Ikyu.com for five years.
This is very useful for busy people who have difficulty making plans, or for people who have saved up for several years and want to stay in a luxurious hotel.

Tip 3: You can choose your accommodation later

Even if you haven't decided on a hotel at the time of donation, you can choose from eligible facilities within the local government. So if you have a vague idea of ​​the area, such as "I want to go to Ishigaki Island next time!", you can donate first and then use the coupon to book a hotel once you have decided on your specific plans.
However, you can only use one coupon per reservation and no change will be given, so we recommend that you carefully consider the area you choose and the amount you donate.

Tip 4: Coupons can be applied even after booking

For example, you can make a reservation for March of next year in advance by credit card payment, and then in January you can secure your hometown tax donation limit for that year, then make a donation and use it to cover the reservation you already made.

Reason 5: You can use it to cover part of the cost of your accommodation reservation

Even if the hotel you want to book exceeds the donation amount, you can use it as part of the payment. Therefore, it is also a nice point that you can use it from a donation amount of 10,000 yen. A donation of 10,000 yen will give you a 3,000 yen coupon.

Tip 6: Sometimes it's more affordable than other sites!

In fact, there are some hotels that offer more affordable prices than other hometown tax donation portal sites.

For example, if you would like to receive a gift from the luxury resort hotel "THE HIRAMATSU HOTELS & RESORTS Ginoza" in Okinawa,
Ikkyu will make a donation to Ginoza Village, Okinawa Prefecture.
To get a coupon worth 30,000 yen, you will need to donate 100,000 yen.

In contrast, on other portal sites, the donation amount to receive a 30,000 yen coupon for the same hotel would be 108,000 yen or 114,000 yen.

Points to note

• Only one coupon can be used per reservation. Multiple coupons cannot be used at the same time, and cannot be used in conjunction with other discount coupons.
• Some facilities have a discount limit (e.g., up to 50,000 yen per person per night).
  
  

If you understand and use these, you can use it as a system that is more suitable for travel than regular hometown tax donations.
