Why This Book?

Checking into a Japanese hotel should be relaxing, not stressful. But without the right vocabulary, you might end up in a smoking room when you specifically wanted non-smoking, miss breakfast because you did not know the hours, or struggle to explain that your air conditioner is broken. This book covers everything from check-in to check-out - room preferences, requesting extra pillows, using hotel facilities, and the WiFi password question you will definitely ask.

Pro Tips

Smoking vs Non-Smoking Always confirm 禁煙室 (kinen-shitsu - non-smoking) at check-in. Japanese hotels still have many smoking rooms, and the smell can linger. If you end up in one by mistake, ask for 部屋の変更 (room change) immediately.
Passport Required Foreign guests must show their passport at check-in by law. Hotels copy the photo page, so have it ready. This is not optional or a suggestion - it is Japanese immigration law.
Early Arrivals Standard check-in is usually 3 PM. If you arrive early, you can ask about アーリーチェックイン (may have extra fee) or leave your 荷物 (luggage) at the front desk for free while you explore.
The WiFi Question Wi-Fiのパスワードは何ですか (What is the WiFi password?) - memorize this phrase. The password is often on a card in your room, but staff are always happy to help if you cannot find it.
Check-Out Etiquette When leaving, say お世話になりました (thank you for everything) to the staff. It shows appreciation and is the natural way to say goodbye after a stay. Staff will respond with またお越しください (please come again).
