Arriving During Japanese Holidays?
Don't Book A Tokyo Hotel Until You Read About Japanese National Holidays

What you don't know about Japanese national Holidays can cost you a fortune!

Tokyo hotels raise their rates during a Japanese holiday or festival.

Every Tokyo hotel might also be fully booked at these times, so try to do your booking well in advance.

The weekends before and after major Japanese festivals and Japanese Holidays are also likely to be crowded on trains and airports.

On the other hand, a vacation at this time can be a pleasure, since many people leave the city and it becomes less crowded.

The Cherry Blossom season is the peal travel season in Japan. Not only tourists come to take part in this magnificent festival, locals too travel to meet with friends and family on the Japanese Holidays.

It's no secret that a Tokyo vacation can cost a fortune, so lets try minimizing costly mistakes-

Here's the first Tip-
Booking a Tokyo Hotel & Flight is easy. You can do it through Tripadvisor search engine. (Bookmark it while you're at it.)

Why should you use that particular hotel search engine?To start with because it will get you the best rates. That's the main thing, right? It lets you compare prices from a few Booking options.

Secondly, Tripadvisor is an independent search engine (i.e. it enables you to compare between several Travel search engines and does not push you to book through any particular booking option) and it charges NO booking fees!

Thirdly, other travelers have rated the hotels for atmosphere, location, facilities, fun, staff, cleanliness, safety and value. So you get a very good idea of what to expect.
And last but not least, this engine is also very user friendly. Click around it a bit and you'll see what I mean. The page I linked to provides an overview of all Tokyo Coupons for flight+hotel deals-

The 3 Major Tokyo Holidays

• Japanese New Year - December 27 to January 4, plus weekends before and after. Note that some museums, shops and restaurants close for the holiday. The whole country is celebrating for several days.




• 'Golden Week' - (April 29th to May 5th). During this week there are three Tokyo holidays. Many Japanese take the entire Golden Week off from work to celebrate these events.




• Families usually travel during school vacations, which are from the end of March through to the beginning of April and from July 20 to the end of August.

Tokyo places tends to be less crowded at these times since many people go back to their home towns.

Tokyo hotels Booking is not so tight during school holidays as during the Tokyo holidays, but I recommend you make reservations in advance.
