A Typhoon Just Ate Your Plans. Don't Cancel Them. Move Them.
To say Can I change the date? in Japanese, say 日にちを変更できますか？ (hinichi o henkō dekimasu ka?).
Cancelling in Japan costs you money. Moving the date usually doesn't, if you ask for it the right way.
日にちを変更できますか？
hinichi o henkō dekimasu ka?

Why this phrase
Obon and typhoon season wreck itineraries every August. At a ryokan front desk, a tour counter or a bus office, people cancel and eat the fee when 変更, a change of date, was sitting right there. Booked through an app, though, and you're usually cancelling and rebooking instead.
