Japan accommodation tax 2027: all new taxes and start dates

Formula used

Tax per night = for each tax that applies (city, town or village, and prefecture): the amount for the band of the room-only price per person (price per night ÷ guests), or the percentage of that price per person (Okinawa: rounded down to the nearest ¥1,000, counted up to ¥100,000, with a maximum per person), times the guests who pay. A tax counts only on nights from its start date. Children are left out only where the official rules exempt them by age. The accommodation may round the amounts: check the final figure with them.

Example: 2 guests, room-only price ¥30,000 per night (¥15,000 per person), 3 nights from 31 October 2026 → ¥1,200 in total.

Not tax advice. Tourist taxes are set by local or national authorities and can change. They are usually collected by your hotel or host, who applies the official rules: check the final amount with your accommodation.

Practical notes

• In Matsumoto, Karuizawa, Achi, Hakuba and Nozawa Onsen, which have their own tax, the prefecture charges half: ¥100 for the first three years, then ¥150.
• The price used for the bands is the room-only price per person per night. Most official explanations exclude meals and consumption tax: ask your accommodation what it includes.

Who collects it: the accommodation (hotel, ryokan, guesthouse or private lodging) collects the tax from guests and pays it to the local government (special collection, 特別徴収).

Exemptions (official)
