Additionally, utilise the Smart Shopping tool within the app to compare hotel prices and amenities, which could help you secure great deals if prices drop or new rooms become available.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the season, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Tokyo hotel. If you're after a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and sometimes better value.
