Another good one Nathan! I do everything that you said in the video, but I go 1 step further again. Once I pick my hotel from all of those filters, I then go to that hotel web page because sometimes you can get a better deal going direct through them. For instance hotel MYSTAYS will give you 5% off your bill if you sign up for their newsletter. If you call them and have a chat, they might be able to give you a free upgrade also if they have empty rooms. I also use Google map street view and walk the area to get a feel for the place and what it has to offer in the way of food choices and closest metro.🐵

Fun fact for gaijin - older Ryokan with tatami mats MAY contain “tatami Dani” (mites). I’ve stayed places that were traditional and beautiful, but had rashes from head to toe from mite bites. If you react poorly to bug bites, be aware.

Great video. I was in Japan in March for 3 weeks. I booked 4 months in advance. Rooms were amazingly cheap. Just remember, old kitchen tables go to Japan to die. They become hotel.beds.

Thanks for these hints Nathan!
I use booking.com for independent hotels or chains I’m not a member of. These days I try to book my trips at least 6 months in advance with free cancellation for hotels. Then I check regularly if prices have gone down & rebook at the lower price. I also try to avoid big cities on Saturday nights as the price usually goes up 30%

on our fall trip we saved a couple of dollars when booking room with two single beds insted of a doble bed, we also looked for hotels closer and around walking distance of an exit of train or subway line no more than 10 to15 minutes this super helfull when going to and from the hotel and also carying your suitcases around, booking around 6 to 8 months will save you a lot of money, these are some extra tips that can help planning next trip for fall 2024 thanks for the great video

Thanks for the great video Nathan I’m heading to Japan for 2 weeks in August and finding there is so much to do I’m trying to narrow down places and accommodation would love your recommendations for a 2 week trip starting from Tokyo 🙈

[jimross]

I've done some of these but I've never gone as deep as you indicated you can go. There are some suggestions in this video that I will follow in planning my next trip.

You know, i'm watching this looking for the right tools Ninja man.

I already booked one for Tokyo fir 2weeks in sept Flexstay Inn Higashi-Jujo 2 people one room for 39270 yen. Reviews have gotten better all I care about is if it’s clean I’m going to Tokyo to explore as long as I can sleep in a bed at the end of the day I’m happy

[star-tingwithmyintuition]

Thanks for your vids i am heading to japan on my own, never been abroad before, i am totally confused about what electric plug adaptor to get, i bought one thats got 2 flat pins and a 3rd grounding pin but then read that there are two types of sockets in japan, one with two prongs and one with 3, shall i just wait till i get to japan and buy one there? do i really need to carry around 2 differnt ones

Capsule hotels can actually be kind of expensive now... I definitely recommend the map view, because unless you rent a car, you're walking.

My advice: If you're concerned about breakfast, stay in a hotel that has a restaurant. If they have a kitchen, breakfast will be exponentially better. Especially in Tokyo, if they don't have a kitchen/restaurant, breakfast will likely be bread rolls, cereal, and maybe fruit. If breakfast is not included, they'll probably try to charge you $10 for it, and you can get quite a lot at konbini for that. They will probably have coffee, and they might not give it to you automatically. Sometimes you have to ask for it at the front desk. Sometimes they don't have coffee, and at one hotel they got rather indignant with me and informed me that they only have 'JAPANESE Tea' - I was like, oh, SORRY, just asking, Jesus.

These days, they often have a section in the lobby near the front desk too where you can get things like a toothbrush, soap, comb, etc... free, but they don't automatically put some of these items in the rooms anymore, so as not to waste them. Anyway, yeah, I'd emphasize that you'll probably be on foot, so pick a place you can easily walk to that you can easily walk to what you want to do after you check in. I don't recommend a capsule hotel, because as they've become more popular/accepted, they've become more expensive, and don't forget to ask for stuff if it's not automatically in your room.

🙈 Very cool, man. Really helpful tips.

[jytan]

ski season and hotel in dec = fully booked, hakone area book 3 mths before sakura season, only can find hotel in the middle of the bus route, those ginzan onsen places i think if you try to book, wont be able to find

[geralt]

I booked 10 days in a Hotel called Listel in Shinjuku. Got any experience with that one?

[CCCC-tqyo]

Did it for a month there... Most hotel that were rate 4 stare had very small rooms... U should just choose an area and look at the hotel begore booking it

[kalet]

Hey there totally unrelated but do you know if I purchase the JR pass before the price increase can I still use it after the price increase? If not know yet do you plan to make a video or reel about it when info comes out? Thanks in advance, keep up the good work :)

Hi Nathan, first I just want to say: thank you! I have always wanted to visit Japan, a bucket list goal for me, and finally I am going for my first time in November on a Solo exploration mission for 12 days. Your wisdom by way of your content has been so helpful to me in my planning, I cannot thank you enough.

When you have an opportunity, I have one quick question. I am travelling with a back pack and a small piece of luggage on wheels, my main hubs during my stay will be Osaka and Tokyo. I am trying to decide if I should just stay in Osaka and just take a couple of day trips to Kyoto or if it is worth it to stay in Kyoto proper? I'm a bit torn because some folks say staying in Kyoto is a MUST and others say moving from hotel to hotel is a real hassle and its better to do day trips. I thank you in advance for any advice or tips.

Buen dia y saludos desde BCS, Mexico 🌴

Hi Nathan! I’m just curious since i found a cheap hotel in akabane. Basically that hotel suits my budget and has a breakfast buffet already included on it. It says its near JR akabane station but im curious if staying at akabane is a smart choice. It will be my first time travelling to japan and we will be mostly spending our 3 days in shinjuku and shibuya area and the remaining two days will just be a day trip in kawagoe and mt fuji. Please send your thoughts please. Many thanks

If I’m gonna stay 10 days in Tokyo. Do you recommend two hostels in two different zones? For example 5 nights in shinjuku and 5 in Ueno or asakusa. Thanks
