So, I have lived in Tokyo for 3 years a while ago, and I am returning for a holiday early next year. I am now realizing that I have no clue how to book a stay if not with Western websites (booking.com etc..), which I’d guess it’s not the best way. Any Japanese website or any other tool to get better options? I speak and read Japanese.
I only see Western hotels on the websites I’m looking at now, but I wouldn’t mind a 旅館 too.

– Yahoo Travel (usually good discount thanks to ポイント即時割引 system)
– Rakuten Travel
– Jalan
– travel agencies like JTB
Or Google Maps, click on the link of the hotel and book direct.
I just use the Booking website.
Booking is used by quite a few of my Japanese friends.
I find booking gives the best prices, but if you go directly to hotel websites they sometimes have nice package deals
I get a feeling this falls under rule 3
Have you tried r/japantravel?
