Affiliate Disclosure

Best Japan Stay is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links — for Agoda, and via Stay22 for Booking.com and Expedia. If you book through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate relationships never decide which properties appear in our lists. Selections are based on research and guest ratings; a property cannot pay to be featured. If a page contains affiliate links, it says so near the top of the article.
