[Rakuten Travel] vs [楽天トラベル]
Towards the end of May I’ll be heading back to Japan. In planning for this upcoming trip I have been looking at different sites to find out which ones will give you the best deals for hotels. In Japan, most of the hotels will give you a per person rate as compared to a per room rate. So you need to look at the fine print when you are booking things on your own.
Rakuten Travel is one of the front runners of sites to find great deals on staying in Japan. It comes in 4 languages and will allow you to get some of the best deals in town. They have hotel deals in China, Korea, and all over Southeast Asia.
One thing that was of interest, is that I found that some of the hotel deals were better on the Japanese language site. I am not sure why that was, but I am guessing that perhaps the English site may not get as much attention as the Japanese site. In either case, it is an invaluable site for planning your trip to Japan.
