All Fukushima Buy & Support Campaign
オール福島・買い支えキャンペーンは、福島県内の店舗やサービス事業者が対象のプレミアム付き電子券 Promote through shopping, and was a large-scale support measure. The campaign ended on March 31, 2023, so the distribution period and promotional information are now history. However, regional coupons, tourist coupons, shopping vouchers and other benefits independently provided by municipalities and local organizations are still available.
A regional coupon is not limited to the former campaign’s electronic vouchers. In Fukushima Prefecture, there are coupons for sightseeing facilities, restaurants, hot springs, accommodation, local products and shopping streets. Some are distributed on paper, others are used through a smartphone app or electronic voucher. The content, issue period and eligible locations vary, so finding useful benefits begins with identifying the type and area of use.
Discount value alone does not determine whether a coupon is advantageous. The total price after discount, usable dates, minimum spend, applicable products, restrictions on combining coupons and accessibility all matter. If you compare these conditions carefully, it is possible to discover economical ways to enjoy Fukushima even after the large-scale campaign has ended.
The archived campaign website is valuable for understanding the former system, including voucher purchase procedures, eligible uses, schedules and contact information. It is also useful for identifying what kinds of stores and service businesses participated. However, a page describing a completed campaign does not mean that the same voucher can currently be purchased or used.
The page retained after the campaign contains 店舗と加盟店情報. This can be used to check the former categories of participating shops, restaurants and service providers. Since the information reflects the campaign period, you should check the latest opening status, service content and current coupon availability before visiting. Past participation by a store is not a guarantee that the former electronic voucher remains usable there today.
If you still have an electronic voucher purchased during the campaign, first check the expiration date printed on it or displayed in the relevant application. The end of the campaign does not necessarily mean that every voucher became unusable immediately, but the original terms must be followed. For remaining balances or questions about past purchases, use the contact information listed in the archived guidance instead of assuming that a new discount is available.
Municipal governments, tourism associations and chambers of commerce often provide coupons tailored to visitors and residents. Search using the destination and purpose, such as a hot spring in Aizuwakamatsu, meals in Koriyama, coastal sightseeing in Minamisoma, or products from local shops in Shirakawa. This approach makes it easier to find information that matches your travel area and schedule.
Typical benefits include admission discounts for cultural facilities, combined meal plans, accommodation privileges and coupons for nearby shopping streets. Some local governments issue stamps or paper booklets that can be used across several facilities. These are often distributed at tourist information centers, railway stations, major hotels or participating shops, so it is worth checking the distribution locations before departure.
Information for current regional coupons is usually published on municipal websites, tourism association pages, railway company pages and local commercial association websites. Search results may include expired campaigns, so always confirm the publication date and distribution deadline. A benefit described as “currently available” should still have its issue period, usable period and participating locations checked on the official page.
Electronic coupons are convenient because there is no need to carry a separate booklet, and some can be selected and displayed on a smartphone. They are useful when visiting facilities with high visitor numbers or when the coupon is distributed through an app. On the other hand, battery level, screen brightness and network connectivity can create unexpected problems at the point of use.
Paper coupons can be easier for people who do not use smartphones regularly or who want to preserve a record of where the coupon was used. They are also common in travel destinations where a paper booklet combines admission tickets, meals and discounts at multiple facilities. Before heading out, check whether paper coupons must be stamped in advance, whether the booklet has a limited number of pages and whether each facility closes before the coupon can be used.
Some campaigns offer both formats, while others distribute a digital code that must be saved before arriving. The best choice depends on the facilities being visited. For a single restaurant, a smartphone-based offer may be simpler. For a sightseeing route involving several facilities, a paper booklet with a clear redemption map may offer greater reliability. Downloadable coupons should be saved to the device or displayed offline so that they remain available even when reception is crowded.
The value of a coupon is not always expressed as a simple price reduction. Some provide a fixed amount off, while others add a small premium to the purchase price of an electronic voucher. Other benefits include free drinks, additional portions, admission to a related facility, points or gifts. Before using one, identify the actual saving and any conditions attached to it.
Check the minimum spend, eligible products and excluded services. A coupon advertised for general use may apply only to daytime meals, overnight stays or designated menu items. Some stores do not allow discounts to be combined with other promotions, and taxes, service charges or transport costs may not be included. It is also important to confirm whether one coupon can be used multiple times or only once per person.
Expiration dates and blackout dates are equally important. A coupon may be valid for purchase but have a shorter redemption period, or it may exclude weekends, public holidays and peak travel periods. Reservations made using a coupon may also be subject to cancellation conditions. Keeping the official page or a screenshot of the terms makes verification easier and reduces misunderstandings at checkout.
Shopping streets, restaurants, hot springs and tourist facilities each offer different regional coupons. A shopping coupon may be most useful when purchasing products from several stores, while a meal coupon can reduce the cost of a restaurant visit. Accommodation coupons may include breakfast, access to a bath or a small credit for nearby attractions, so the accompanying benefits should be compared as well.
Combining benefits requires planning rather than simply presenting every coupon at once. For example, a sightseeing coupon may reduce admission fees, but that discount might not apply to meals or merchandise. A meal plan may be usable only at a restaurant in the same complex as the attraction. Checking the locations on a map and arranging a route in advance helps prevent travel time from erasing the savings.
For short trips, the number of coupons used per day should also be considered. A small discount requiring several detours is not economical. Spending enough at a participating shopping street, combining a meal benefit with a nearby attraction and using public transportation can make a regional coupon easier to use. The practical benefit depends on the total budget, including transport and any minimum purchase that must be met.
When several coupons are available, compare them using the same criteria. The final cost is more useful than the advertised discount rate. Also check how easily the coupon can be obtained, whether a smartphone is required, how long it remains valid and how close the participating store is to the planned route. These factors often determine the actual value.

The best coupon is therefore the one that fits the destination, available time and planned purchases, rather than simply the one with the largest discount. It is also important to distinguish a coupon for residents from one intended for visitors, and to check whether identification, a reservation or advance application is required.
In many cases, a small local coupon is easier to use than a larger but more restrictive offer. Confirming the current official information before departure makes it easier to take advantage of Fukushima’s regional benefits safely and smoothly.
