Booking Tips
- Book early: Shinjuku is popular. Hotels fill up quickly during cherry blossom season (late March–early April), Golden Week (late April–early May), and New Year.
- Compare prices: Use Booking.com, Expedia, Jalan, and Rakuten Travel to compare. Japanese sites sometimes have better deals.
- Consider the station exit: If you have heavy luggage, choose a hotel near the exit you'll use most.
- Check for breakfast: Japanese hotel breakfasts are often excellent and worth the extra cost.
- Tax: Hotel prices are quoted without the 10% consumption tax. The final price will be higher.
- Accommodation tax: Tokyo charges ¥100-¥200 per night depending on the room rate.
