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 are typically lower. To fully appreciate the city's rich history and vibrant culture, it is advisable to stay for at least 2 to 3 days. This duration allows visitors to explore key landmarks and cultural sites, such as stunning temples, informative museums, and significant monuments. Additionally, you can enjoy the urban architecture, beautiful parks filled with flowers, and even indulge in some budget-friendly seafood options. With careful planning, a trip during these months can offer great value for money while immersing you in Tokyo's unique heritage.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Tokyo, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on accommodation as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a handy comparison tool available via the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re likely to see the best options. With these features, you’ll be well-equipped to book that spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as 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 those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you make a reservation with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
