[Important Notice] Introduction of the “Accommodation Tax” Effective April 1, 2026
Due to ordinances enacted by Asahikawa City and Hokkaido, an Accommodation Tax will be introduced for stays from April 1, 2026.
Regardless of when the Reservation is made, all stays on or after April 1 will be subject to this tax.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation as this initiative supports the creation of a more comfortable and attractive tourist destination.
The Accommodation Tax is charged per person per night: JPY 200 for Asahikawa City plus an additional amount for Hokkaido.
For an Accommodation Fee under JPY 20,000, the total is JPY 300; for JPY 20,000 to under JPY 50,000, the total is JPY 400; and for JPY 50,000 or more, the total is JPY 700.
The tax must be paid together with the Accommodation Fee at check-in or at settlement.
The Accommodation Tax will be used to promote tourism in Hokkaido and Asahikawa City.
It will support improvements to visitor facilities; enhanced multilingual guidance and communication infrastructure; development of tourism content that leverages Asahikawa’s unique nature, food culture, and local heritage; congestion mitigation measures; and improved transportation convenience.
The tax applies regardless of age; however, children who incur no Accommodation Fee due to Child Sharing Existing Bedding are exempt.
It applies regardless of purpose (including sightseeing, business travel, or accompanying someone for medical visits).
For a Multiple Night Stay, the tax is charged per night.
On the Receipt, it will be clearly itemized separately from the Accommodation Fee.
Exemptions apply when children/pupils/students as defined in Article 1 of Japan’s School Education Act—and their supervising staff—stay as part of school events such as school trips. Tour conductors from travel agencies and photographers are not eligible.
To receive an exemption, submission of a certificate issued by a school principal or equivalent authority is required. If your group may qualify, please contact us in advance.
For details of this system, please refer to official information provided by Asahikawa City. We will continue striving to further improve our services.
