Currently, we are having “Ganbarou Higashi Nihon ! Fuji-no Kuni Go Go ! Campaign” in Shizuoka. It means, if literally translated, “We are always trying to reach out our hands to you from Fuji-no Kuni, Shizuoka”, maybe something like that. Telling you in short, this campaign was set up with the cooperation of Hotels, Ryokan Japanese Inns, and Minshuku the private accommodations in Shizuoka to donate a part of room charge to the victims of the disaster in Tohoku and Kanto Area. Yes, we can finally act “Something” for them.
It’s very simple to join. You make a booking and stay overnight in a hotel or ryokan under our campaign, and the accommodation facilities offer us specified amount of money from the room charge for donation. We send that money to the people of eastern Japan through the Red Cross Society. What is more, they are so generous as to provide rooms at a bargain rate, believe it or not, every day including weekend nights ! I here show you all plans below. The accommodation list is available, though in Japanese, from here. So far, more than 700 hotels and ryokans have been already in it.

These plans above differ by accommodations and some accept guests at almost a half rate according to their hospitality to have as many guests as possible relaxed in onsen hot spring away from all sorts of distress. Also, it is a good opportunity for you to stay in our traditional Inns at a low cost. However, we are so sorry to say that not many Inns have been prepared yet for guests from abroad. You may have problems in communication. If you only inquire about it through this page, or post your message on this website, we will be happy to help you to find an appropriate Inns for you ! So sorry beforehand in case we can’t find any, though. Anyway, make your destination clear first, OK ? And please let us have enough time for finding your inns. Be sure that you can’t contact us on weekends.

These campaign rate is effective until July 22nd.

Have a good day !
