Making an
Online Reservation
General Information
Japanhotelink offers interactive, real-time access to room and rate
availability, enabling you to book the best rates instantaneously
through the Internet. You are able to retrieve rates directly from
our central reservation system, and see them on your screen within
seconds.
Clicking on the reservations hypertext phrase or word on any hotel
property page will take you directly to the page to check that
hotel's availability and rates. To view and/or cancel a reservation,
click on the link to Review or Cancel a Reservation.
You must be using Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape or another
Web browser that uses the same security scheme as Netscape. Using an
incompatible Web browser will result in an error message from our

since everything you enter will be secure -- credit card, name,
dates, etc.
