Great post, very informative!
Thanks for sharing this helpful info.
What a coincidence! I’m also from Canada, went to Japan last in Feb 2020, and finally going back to Japan next week. We’ll also be stopping by Tokyo, Osaka and a hot spring in Hakone.
I got lucky and booked business class flights on ANA for me and my husband from YVR to NRT for 55,000 Aeropoints each. Can’t wait to be back! Enjoy your trip!
Would be interested whether the Conrad Osaka grants any significant room upgrade.
Roku Kyoto looks to be a fantastic property. Had 2 nights booked for last year 🙁 but I can live vicariously through you for the time being
I’m right there with you. We leave on oct 7th. Got our visas today but we got sponsored by a company so we paid nothing for them.
14 days in Japan. Tokyo, hakone and kyoto. Can’t wait to leave
My brother and sister-in-law once booked a ryokan by exchanging Avion points for Hotels.com gift cards, if I recall correctly. So it’s possible to use points, just a bit roundabout.
The Conrad Tokyo for 62,000 :-0
I’m going in November and the lowest I’ve seen is 82,000. It’s 95,000 when I’m there.
I think I stumbled onto a pocket of favourable pricing indeed. For what it’s worth, cash rates at the Conrad are often quite reasonable at around $250 (CAD), too, and booking through Amex FHR, Virtuoso, or Hilton Impresario can make sense for the additional $100 credit.
