[Hoshino Resorts Okinawa Facilities] Peace of Mind Even When Ships Stop! Launch of "Typhoon Peace of Mind Special Clause 2026" Waiving Cancellation Fees Even During Ferry Suspensions

Hoshino Resorts, which operates 77 facilities in Japan and abroad under the theme "Making Travel Fun," began offering the "Typhoon Peace of Mind Special Clause 2026" for accommodation reservations in Okinawa Prefecture on May 31, 2026. This is a reservation support service that provides waivers of accommodation cancellation fees and discounts on accommodation charges, allowing travelers to book with peace of mind even at facilities in Okinawa, which is prone to typhoons. The service was launched in 2023 to alleviate the anxiety of those hesitant to travel to Okinawa due to typhoons and to encourage them to plan and book their trips with confidence. In its fourth year, the program has been strengthened by newly adding "ferry suspension" as a condition for waiving accommodation cancellation fees, continuing to provide enhanced support. Initially, the service is being applied in Okinawa Prefecture, which has a high frequency of typhoon landfalls. In the future, the company is considering expanding it to the Kyushu, Chugoku, and Shikoku regions. Background The number of typhoons approaching Okinawa Prefecture is higher compared to the mainland. Specifically, an average of 7.7 typhoons approach or make landfall in Okinawa each year, with many concentrated in the summer season from June to October. (*1) Consequently, it was believed that a certain number of people hesitate to make reservations due to concerns about encountering a typhoon during their trip. Therefore, Hoshino Resorts is launching a support service to help people plan their Okinawa trips with peace of mind. *1 Japan Meteorological Agency "Climate of the Okinawa Main Island Region" "Normal Values for Typhoons" Three Key Points of the Typhoon Peace of Mind Special Clause 2026 Point 1: Waiver of Airline Ticket Cancellation Fees, or Free Accommodation Cancellation if Ferry is Suspended If the airline tickets you plan to use (outbound or return) are subject to a cancellation fee waiver (no charge) due to a typhoon, or if the ferry (outbound or return) is suspended, the accommodation cancellation fee will be waived.
