Toyko - July 2019 - 99% Hotels Booked!
Discussion
I'm asking on behalf of a work colleague who is planning a family holiday to Japan, whereby they plan to visit a few cities over several weeks. Strangely, it looks as though most hotels are fully booked for July 2019, whereas 50% of hotels are booked this July. Obviously, something is happening - but what?!
The Olympics is 2020 and the World Rugby is September 2019, so what's happening in July 2019? I noticed there is a sewage works exhibition on then, but it can't be that ...

Apparently Booking.com, Hotels.com and Expedia are saying the same! All requests done via the respective sites, rather than via comparison sites ... It's weird!
Sorry, when I said comparison sites I meant the above 'search engines'.I reckon they dont have the availability yet, too far in advance.
I think that is just Tokyo. We went to Japan back in October 2014 for two weeks and for about 3 nights didn't have any accommodation booked, thinking we'd book it whilst we were over there, depending on our plans and where we wanted to go to. We were in Kyoto at the time and had the same problem, all the Hotels.com, Booking.com etc were showing as no availability in Tokyo and in some of the surrounding areas - granted this was last minute stuff rather than future bookings, but I was starting to panic that we'd have no where to stay! We ended up staying in Kyoto, which was no bad thing.
We went to Japan in 2016 , booked through https://www.audleytravel.com/ , we usually plan out holidays ourselves but they did a great job
In two weeks we spent time in Tokyo (Conrad) with a guide for a day, went to Hiroshima and Kyoto (again a guide around the Geisha district) and they arranged a day learning to cook Japanese food with some local housewifes, and a few days in a luxury spa hotel in the mountains, then finally back to Tokyo
Was a fantastic holiday and we loved it , can heartily recommend them to organise things , everything was perfect and really easy
Warning, July in Japan is HOT , Hiroshima was 33-35 degrees most days and Tokyo/Kyoto not much cooler and its quite expensive , dont try and do things on the cheap
Wonderful place though and would love to go back
