4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Tokyo

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Tokyo is during January, February, and September, when hotel prices tend to be lower.

During your visit, you can discover stunning temples, fascinating museums, and historic monuments, as well as enjoy vibrant urban areas, budget-friendly shopping, impressive architecture, beautiful parks filled with flowers, and delicious seafood options. This timeframe offers great value for money for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the rich culture of Tokyo.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals to Tokyo, visit the Deals or Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window section on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to keep informed about flash sales and special promotions, so you won't miss opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed choices. With these features, you're more likely to see updates on price drops or new availability, making it easier to book your last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may differ based on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Tokyo hotel. For travelers seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalized touch and potentially better value.
