The best hotels in Japan

Start with the Luxury 5 Star Hotels in Japan collection. Compare room size, dining, wellness facilities and location before checking the live rate for your dates.

Start with the Downtown Hotels in Japan collection. Use the area guides to compare landmark access, neighbourhood character and transport, then check the Hotel map before booking.

Start with the Boutique Hotels in Japan collection. The photo gallery and expert review make it easier to separate genuine character from a fashionable label.

Start with the Ocean View Hotels in Japan collection. Compare the exact distance to the shore, direct beach access, view type and whether seasonal facilities will operate during your visit.

Choose the Hotel around the activity, not only the room: check access to landmarks, trails or transport, the earliest departure options and how practical the return journey will be. Each full review includes activities and nearby places where data is available.

Start with the Mid Range Hotels in Japan collection. Check the guest score, room type and whether breakfast, parking or Wi-Fi is included; the cheapest room is not always the lowest total cost.

Start with the Aparthotels in Japan collection. For a longer stay or a group, compare kitchens, laundry, occupancy limits and cancellation terms as carefully as the nightly price.

Set the correct dates, guests and rooms before comparing availability. Confirm entry requirements with official sources, then check airport or station transfers, local transport, check-in times and the cancellation policy on the booking page.

Choose location first, then style and price. Start with the area guide that best matches the places you plan to visit, shortlist two or three Hotels, and compare their complete reviews side by side before opening live availability.
