Karuizawa Prince Hotel West, located in Kitasaku District, Nagano Prefecture, is running a short-window "Tabi no Hi" (Travel Day) plan available for stays from May 14 (Thursday) to May 17 (Sunday), 2026. The plan bundles a gas voucher and a hotel restaurant dinner discount — a combination aimed at easing the financial side of a mid-May getaway.
With the cost of travel rising alongside broader price increases and higher fuel costs, a number of travelers adjusted or scaled back their Golden Week trips this year. The hotel timed this offer around May 16, recognized in Japan as "Tabi no Hi" (National Travel Day), to help people make the most of the post-Golden Week lull at a more accessible price point.
All bookings include two "Enjoy Tickets" worth ¥1,000 each (¥2,000 in total), distributed at check-in, along with a 20% discount voucher for dinner at participating hotel restaurants. The Enjoy Tickets can be used at a nearby designated gas station, helping to offset fuel costs for guests driving to Karuizawa.
