According to an article posted at Travel Weekly.com:
Japanese tourism leaders have admitted there is no guarantee that a plan to pay the airfares of 10,000 overseas visitors next year will go ahead as it emerged that the general budget for international markets will be cut by around 10%.
The Japan Tourism Agency (JTA) is seeking 1.2 billion Yen to fund the Fly to Japan project but admitted nothing was certain.
JTA has even posted a message on its website saying the matter is "still under examination for government budgetary approval and is at this moment undecided."

Free airfares or not, go to Japan anyway and bring along The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan.
