■ From April 1, 2027 onward
Applicable to: Accommodation Fee (excluding tax) per person per night

* Even if you have already paid your accommodation charges in advance (e.g., by prepayment via credit card), payment of the Accommodation Tax will be required separately.
* For online Reservations, please note that the Accommodation Fee displayed on the screen includes consumption tax but does not include the Accommodation Tax.

* If there are any tax law revisions after your Reservation is made, we may adjust the billed amount according to the new tax rules applicable on your stay date. Thank you for your understanding.
