Kyoto’s $132 Hotel Tax Shock Japan’s Bold Move to Curb Overtourism 🇯🇵💸 #shorts
Starting March 2026, staying in Kyoto is about to get a lot pricier. Not because of hotel rates, but due to a huge tax hike. Japan’s new hotel occupancy tax could hit 10,000 yen per person per night. That’s around 60 civics just in taxes. For couples at a luxury hotel, that’s an extra $132 a night on top of Japan’s 10% consumption tax and 10% service charge. Authorities say it’s to combat over tourism, but critics argue it won’t deter visitors, just make trips more expensive. So, would this tax make you rethink Kyoto?
Starting March 2026, Kyoto will introduce one of the world’s highest hotel taxes — up to 10,000 yen ($66) per person per night!
