Toyoko Inn Launches Its Year-End and New Year Time Sale on September 25
Japanese business hotel chain Toyoko Inn launched its Year-End and New Year Time Sale at 12:00 on September 25, 2026 (JST). Bookings are open until January 12, 2027. The sale covers participating Toyoko Inn hotels listed on the official site (from Hokkaido to Okinawa, though not every location), with room rates cut by 10% to 15% and free breakfast included. Eligible stays run from December 20, 2026 to January 12, 2027, which includes Christmas, the year-end and New Year holidays, and the first three-day weekend of January.
Around the year-end and New Year, many people in Japan travel home or visit shrines for hatsumode, so hotels fill up and rates tend to rise. This sale lets you book discounted rooms for that period well in advance.

Note: The Discount Ranges from 10% to 15%
The sale is advertised as up to 15% off, but the discount actually ranges from 10% to 15%. Not every hotel or date gets a flat 15% off. To see the actual discount, select a hotel and your stay dates on the booking page.
The discount applies to the room rate, so at the same percentage, a higher original rate means bigger savings. For example, on a room priced at 10,000 yen per night, 10% off saves 1,000 yen and 15% off saves 1,500 yen.
Key Dates in the Stay Period
The eligible stay period from December 20 to January 12 includes several high-demand dates.
- December 20 (Sun): Start of the eligible stay period
- December 24 (Thu) and 25 (Fri): Christmas. The night of Friday the 25th leads straight into the weekend
- December 31 (Thu) and January 1 (Fri, New Year’s Day): New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, ideal for countdown events or hatsumode shrine visits
- January 2 (Sat) and 3 (Sun): The first weekend of the new year, handy for return trips or New Year sales shopping
- January 9 (Sat) to 11 (Mon, Coming of Age Day): The first three-day weekend of 2027, good for trips or going home for coming-of-age ceremonies
- January 12 (Tue): Last day of the eligible stay period
Bookings close on January 12, the same day the stay period ends. If rooms are still available, you can use the sale for last-minute bookings. Because rooms are limited, though, popular dates such as New Year’s Eve and the three-day weekend are likely to fill up early.
Booking Conditions and Things to Check
Book Through the Official Website
Sale rates are only sold on Toyoko Inn’s official booking website. Bookings made through other channels, such as online travel agencies, are unlikely to qualify. On the official site, choose the Year-End & New Year Sale package on the participating hotel’s reservation page.
Check the Payment and Cancellation Terms on the Booking Page
Some reports say online payment is required, but Toyoko Inn’s campaign page doesn’t state the payment method. Prepaid plans may have different cancellation fees and refund rules from pay-at-hotel plans. If your plans might change, check the payment method and cancellation policy for this package on the booking page before confirming.
Limited Rooms, So Watch for Sellouts
Sale rooms are limited. Even at the same hotel on the same dates, you may not be able to book once the sale rooms are gone. If you want popular dates, check availability early.
No Official Website Discount; Check Member Rates on the Booking Page
The only exclusion Toyoko Inn lists is the Official Website Discount (¥200 off), so compare the sale package with the regular plan side by side on the booking page.
Some reports say the Club Card member discount doesn’t apply either, but the campaign page doesn’t mention it, and the booking page showed a member price for this package too. Members should go by the price shown on the booking page and pick whichever is cheaper.
Who Is This Sale For?
- Travelers going home for the holidays who would rather stay in a hotel than with family
- Those who want to stay in a city for New Year’s Eve countdowns or New Year’s Day shrine visits
- Business travelers with trips from late December into early January
- Anyone planning a trip, or a visit home for coming-of-age ceremonies, over the January 9–11 three-day weekend
- Travelers visiting several cities who want affordable stays at Toyoko Inn (check that each hotel is on the participating list)
Booking Checklist
- Check that your hotel is on the participating list on the official campaign page
- Once you pick your dates and hotel, look for the sale package on the official booking website
- Check the actual discount (10%–15%) and total price on the booking page
- Review the payment method, cancellation, and change policy for the package
- Club Card members: compare with the member rate and pick the cheaper option
- Book popular dates early, before the limited sale rooms sell out
Summary
Toyoko Inn’s Year-End and New Year Time Sale takes 10%–15% off stays from December 20, 2026 to January 12, 2027. It applies to participating hotels listed on the official site, you book the sale package on each hotel’s reservation page, breakfast is included, rooms are limited, and the Official Website Discount doesn’t apply. Check the booking page for the payment method and member rates. If you have year-end or New Year travel plans, compare member rates, check the cancellation policy, and book early.
