  • You may also book hotels using Expedia, booking.com or other similar site of your choice.
  • Booking sites run by Japanese companies, such as rakuten or jalan may have more offers than international ones.

Booking hotels elsewhere in Japan

  • If you need to stay outside of Yamagata, we kindly ask you to book hotels by yourself.
  • Depending on your flight schedule, it may be necessary to make an extra stay in Tokyo near the Narita airport, Tokyo station, or Ueno station.
  • Please use online booking sites, which cover everywhere in Japan, from large cities to countryside touristic places.
  • Booking hotels in Tokyo could be less easier than booking hotels in Yamagata, because of recent increasing tourist traffic to Tokyo.

Tips on booking a hotel in Japan

  • You may find that single room price is inexpensive compared with international standards, but rooms are usually quite compact (price per area may not be so inexpensive).
  • Rate is calculated per person, not per room. A double room occupied by two people often costs nearly the same as two single rooms.
