Rakuten Travel 20% off days: the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th
Six times a month, Rakuten Travel coupons take up to 20% off hotels and hot spring inns in Japan. Most visitors have never heard of it.
In Japan the event has a name that means "days with a 5 or a 0 in them". It is simpler to think of it as Rakuten Travel's 20% off days: the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th of every month.
How the 20% works
- A 10% coupon from Rakuten Travel
- Plus a 10% coupon from the hotel
- Used together on one booking, that is up to 20% off
The coupons are for upscale hotels and hot spring inns. There is a separate set for top-tier luxury hotels and another for business and leisure hotels.
When to book, in US time
Each window opens at midnight Japan time and lasts 48 hours. In winter that means it opens at 10am ET the day before the date on the calendar.
| Date in Japan | Opens (ET) |
|---|---|

| Nov 20 | Thu Nov 19, 10am |

Three things to know first
- Claim before you book. Rakuten Travel says a coupon cannot be added to a booking after it is made.
- Each month has its own coupons. November's came out on Nov 4. December's are due Tue Dec 1 at 8pm ET.
- Read the conditions. Each coupon has a minimum spend per room, a stay period and a limited number of uses.
The coupons are on the Japanese version of Rakuten Travel. Your browser's translate button is enough. Here is how to turn it on.
