Where it stands

As of 6 Sept 2026

The domestic general lottery, the balloted route this record tracks, is a separate draw from the other entry routes on this page.

It runs 20:00 JST 17 Sept 2026 to 23:59 JST 24 Sept 2026, JPY 19,000, 5,500 places, with lottery notifications planned by early October 2026, and is limited to residents of Japan. Overseas first-come entry runs in two phases sharing one 3,500-place cap: an early phase 10:00 JST 11 Aug 2026 to 23:59 JST 24 Aug 2026 at JPY 24,000, then a regular phase 25 Aug 2026 to 23 Sept 2026 at JPY 25,000, both allocated first come first served rather than by draw.

Two further paid routes sit alongside these on the official entry page: Challenge entry (JPY 18,000, phase 2 6 Aug 2026 to 31 Aug 2026) and Travel Plan entry (JPY 18,000 plus accommodation, phase 1 10 Aug 2026 to 24 Aug 2026, phase 2 25 Aug 2026 to 6 Sept 2026).
