Notice of Revision to Tokyo Accommodation Tax Ordinance (Effective April 2027)

We would like to inform our valued guests regarding the upcoming revision of the Tokyo Metropolitan Accommodation Tax Ordinance. Effective April 1, 2027, the accommodation tax rates and structure will undergo official changes. The updated tax policy applies to all stays on or after April 1, 2027, irrespective of your reservation date or payment date. Details of the current versus revised tax rates, along with calculation examples, are outlined below.
 
■ Up to March 31, 2027 (Current: Fixed Rate)

 Room Rate (Per person, per night)  Tax Amount
 Under JPY 10,000 Tax-free
 JPY10,000 – JPY14,999 JPY 100
 JPY 15,000 or more JPY 200
 
■ From April 1, 2027 Onward (Revised: Percentage Rate)
 Room Rate (Per person, per night)  Tax Amount
 Under JPY 13,000  Tax-free
 JPY 13,000 or more  3% of the room rate

Calculation Example:
  • For a room rate of JPY 20,000 (per person, per night), the tax amount will be JPY 600 (JPY 20,000 × 3%).
  • For a room rate of JPY 13,999 (per person, per night), the taxable rate is rounded down to JPY 13,900, resulting in a tax amount of JPY 417 (JPY 13,900 × 3%).

※The taxable room rate is calculated by rounding down to the nearest JPY 100 per person, per night.
※The taxable amount applies to room charges and service fees only (excluding meals and consumption tax).
※The accommodation tax must be paid separately at the hotel upon check-in.
※For further details, please refer to the official website of the Tokyo Bureau of Taxation.
