Vietnam Airlines and JR Kyushu are running a joint Special Tie-Up Campaign with two benefits. The first is a shopping discount at Hakata Meihin Kura for members of Lotusmiles, Vietnam Airlines’ frequent flyer program. The second is a discount coupon on the JR Kyushu Rail Pass for international visitors to Japan. This article covers each benefit’s details, eligibility, dates, how to use it, and points to note.
Campaign Overview
- Companies: Vietnam Airlines, JR Kyushu
- Campaign name: Special Tie-Up Campaign
- Benefit 1: 5% off purchases at Hakata Meihin Kura Hakata-guchi store (for Lotusmiles members)
- Benefit 2: ¥1,000 off coupon for the adult JR Kyushu Rail Pass (for international visitors, limited to the first 100 people)
Benefit 1: 5% Off at Hakata Meihin Kura Hakata-guchi Store
What You Get
Show your Lotusmiles membership card when shopping at Hakata Meihin Kura Hakata-guchi store to get 5% off your purchase. The discount grows with the amount you spend, so it is most worthwhile when you buy several items at once. For example, a ¥10,000 purchase would save you ¥500.
Conditions and Dates
- Eligible: Lotusmiles members
- Requirement: Present your Lotusmiles membership card at checkout
- Store: Hakata Meihin Kura Hakata-guchi store
- Discount: 5% of the purchase amount
- Campaign period: November 1 to December 31, 2026
Tips
To get the discount, you need to present your Lotusmiles membership card. The announcement does not mention nationality or similar conditions; what matters is being a member. Have your card ready so you can show it quickly at checkout. The announcement does not say how the card should be presented, so check the official information in advance if you are unsure. The store is specified as the Hakata-guchi store. The campaign runs until December 31, so members planning to visit Hakata before the end of the year should keep this benefit in mind.
Benefit 2: ¥1,000 Off the Adult JR Kyushu Rail Pass
What You Get
International visitors can get a coupon for ¥1,000 off the adult JR Kyushu Rail Pass. It is limited to the first 100 people. The discount comes as a promo code. Enter the code when purchasing an eligible product on KKday and the discount is applied.
Who Is Eligible
- Holders of a passport issued outside Japan
- Entering Japan under Temporary Visitor (tanki taizai) status
- Visiting Japan for sightseeing
You must meet all of these conditions. The following people are not eligible:
- People who do not hold a passport issued outside Japan
- People staying in Japan under a status of residence other than Temporary Visitor
The discount applies only to the adult version of the rail pass.
How to Get and Use the Coupon
- Step 1: Check the promo code posted on Vietnam Airlines’ official Facebook on November 16, 2026
- Step 2: Choose an eligible adult JR Kyushu Rail Pass on KKday
- Step 3: Enter the promo code during checkout
- Step 4: Confirm the ¥1,000 discount has been applied and complete your purchase
Conditions and Dates
- Discount: ¥1,000
- Eligible product: Eligible adult JR Kyushu Rail Pass sold on KKday
- Quantity: First 100 people only
- Code release date: November 16, 2026 (Vietnam Airlines’ official Facebook)
- Code valid until: March 31, 2027
Tips
Only the first 100 people can use the code, so check Vietnam Airlines’ official Facebook early on the release date, November 16.
The code stays valid until March 31, 2027. That makes it worth considering if you are planning a Kyushu trip in winter or spring.
Keep in mind that March 31, 2027 is only the deadline for using the promo code. It is separate from the period in which the rail pass itself can be used. Check your travel dates and the pass’s terms of use on the KKday product page before buying.
The discount applies only to eligible products on KKday, so also make sure the pass you plan to buy is covered.
Comparing the Two Benefits
The two benefits differ in who can use them and how.
- Hakata Meihin Kura discount: Used in store by Lotusmiles members who show their card.
- Rail pass discount: Used online by eligible international visitors who enter a code when purchasing on KKday.
If you meet the conditions for both, you can use each one on a trip where you travel around Kyushu with the rail pass and shop in Hakata. The Hakata Meihin Kura discount ends on December 31, so if you want to use both, plan to travel before the end of the year.
Common Questions
Do I need to be a Lotusmiles member for the rail pass discount?
The announcement does not list Lotusmiles membership or flying with Vietnam Airlines as conditions for the rail pass discount. It states three conditions: holding a passport issued outside Japan, visiting under Temporary Visitor status, and traveling for sightseeing. Check the official information for full details.
Can anyone use the Hakata Meihin Kura discount?
You must present a Lotusmiles membership card to get the discount. Without one, the discount does not apply.
Summary
The Vietnam Airlines and JR Kyushu tie-up campaign offers two benefits: a shopping discount for Lotusmiles members and a rail pass discount coupon for international visitors. The rail pass coupon is limited to the first 100 people, so do not miss the code release on November 16.
