Ikyu.com account holders can simplify the login process by connecting their accounts with external partner platforms. The Ikyu.com account linking settings allow users to connect Yahoo! JAPAN ID, Google Account, Facebook Account, LINE Account, or Apple Account and use those services instead of entering their Ikyu.com email address, phone number, and password every time they sign in.
This guide explains how account linking works, how to connect or remove partner accounts, and important points users should know before changing their login settings.
What Is Ikyu.com Account Linking?
Ikyu.com allows members to connect their account with supported external services, including:
- Yahoo! JAPAN ID
- Google Account
- Facebook Account
- LINE Account
- Apple Account
Once a partner account is linked, users have two available login options:
| Account Status | Available Login Methods |
|---|---|
| Not linked | Sign in using the Ikyu.com account email address or mobile number and password |
| Linked | Sign in using either Ikyu.com credentials or the connected partner account |
This feature provides a more convenient login experience while keeping the original Ikyu.com account credentials available.
How to Link a Partner Account
To connect a partner account with Ikyu.com, follow these steps.
Step 1: Open the Account Linking Settings
First, access the My Page section of your Ikyu.com account and select the Partner Site Account Linking Settings option.
The settings page displays available services and their current connection status. Services that have not been connected will show a “Link” option, while already connected services will show an option to remove the connection.
Step 2: Select the Service You Want to Connect
On the partner account linking screen, choose the external account you want to connect.
Click or tap the Link button next to the selected service.
Step 3: Sign In to the Partner Account
After selecting a service, the login page for that partner platform will appear.
Follow the instructions provided and sign in with the selected account.
For example, when connecting Yahoo! JAPAN, users will be redirected to the Yahoo! JAPAN ID login screen.
In some cases, users may not need to sign in again if they are already authenticated on the partner platform.
When connecting an Apple Account for the first time, users may be asked whether they want to share their email address or keep it private. Regardless of the selected option, the registered email address of the connected Ikyu.com account will not be changed.
Step 4: Confirm the Connection
After successfully logging into the partner account, the Ikyu.com linking confirmation screen will appear.
Select Link to complete the process.
Once completed, the external account can be used as an alternative login method for the connected Ikyu.com account.
How to Remove a Linked Partner Account
Users can also disconnect previously connected services when they no longer want to use them for login.
Step 1: Access Partner Account Settings
Open the My Page section and select the partner account linking settings page.
Step 2: Choose the Account to Disconnect
Find the connected service you want to remove and select the Remove Link option.
Step 3: Authenticate With the Partner Service
The selected partner platform login page may appear.
Follow the instructions and sign in if required. If you are already logged in, you may proceed automatically.
Step 4: Confirm Account Disconnection
After authentication, the unlinking confirmation page will be displayed.
Select Remove Link to complete the process.
After unlinking, the disconnected Yahoo! JAPAN ID, Google Account, Facebook Account, LINE Account, or Apple Account can no longer be used to access the Ikyu.com account.
Before removing a connection, users should confirm that they can still log in with their Ikyu.com email address or phone number and password.
Important Notes About Account Linking
There are several important conditions when managing linked accounts.
Different Registration Information Can Still Be Linked
The email address or phone number registered with an Ikyu.com account does not need to match the information registered with the external partner account.
Users can still complete the linking process even when the details are different.
One Partner Account Cannot Be Linked to Multiple Ikyu.com Accounts
A single Yahoo! JAPAN ID, Google Account, Facebook Account, LINE Account, or Apple Account cannot be connected to multiple Ikyu.com member accounts at the same time.
If a partner account is already linked to another Ikyu.com account, users must manage the existing connection before linking it to a different account.
Check Login Information Before Removing Links
Removing a linked account means that service can no longer be used for Ikyu.com login.
Before disconnecting, users should verify:
- Registered email address
- Registered phone number
- Ikyu.com account password
This ensures continued access after the external account connection has been removed.
Some Services May Allow Removal Through Their Own Platforms
Depending on the partner service, account connection settings may also be managed through the partner website or mobile application.
Frequently Asked Questions About Linked Accounts
What Happens After Disconnecting a Partner Account?
After removing a connection, users must log in to Ikyu.com using their original account credentials:
- Registered email address or mobile number
- Password
Users can check or update their account information through the My Page account settings section.
If the password has been forgotten, it can be reset through the password management page.
What Happens If a Partner Account Is Already Linked to Another Ikyu.com Account?
If a partner account is already connected to Ikyu.com member account A and a user attempts to connect it to member account B, a confirmation screen will appear.
If the user proceeds with the new connection:
- The original connection between the partner account and member account A will automatically be removed.
- The partner account can no longer be used to log in to member account A.
- Member account A itself will not be deleted.
Users should either cancel the new connection or confirm that they can access the original account using the email address or phone number and password before continuing.
Managing Multiple Ikyu.com Accounts
Ikyu.com generally recommends that each person maintain only one member account.
If users have unnecessary accounts, they may consider closing them. However, deleting an account will permanently remove:
- Usage history
- Stored points
- Other account-related benefits
Accounts with upcoming reservations cannot be closed until after the stay or visit has been completed.
Conclusion
The Ikyu.com account linking settings provide a convenient way for members to access their accounts using trusted external platforms such as Yahoo! JAPAN, Google, Facebook, LINE, and Apple.
Linking a partner account can make login faster and easier, while unlinking requires careful preparation to ensure continued access through standard Ikyu.com credentials.
Before changing account connections, always confirm your login information and understand how linking or removing a partner account affects future access. For additional assistance, users can contact Ikyu.com customer support through the official help center.
