  2. If a guest requests, during his/her stay, to extend his/her stay beyond the dates in Item (2) of the preceding paragraph, such request shall be regarded as an application for a new accommodation contract only when the Hotel has no other reservation during such extended days.

Article 4 (Conclusion of Accommodation Contract)

  1. A contract for accommodation shall be concluded when the Hotel accepts the application stipulated in Article 3, and confirms the payment of a deposit (equals to the accommodation charges) by the date (within 7 days including bank holidays) designated by the Hotel. (Any fee that results in the giving or receiving of any payment will be the guests’ responsibility). Provided, however, the above shall not apply where it is proved that the Hotel has not accepted the application.
  2. The deposit shall first be applied to the final accommodation charges to be paid by the guest, and when any circumstances requiring application of the provisions of Article 6 arises, it shall be applied to the cancellation charges and then to any compensation monies. Any balance left, if any, shall be refunded at the time notified by the Hotel individually. If the deposit is not paid by the date designated by the Hotel as stipulated in the preceding paragraph, the application for accommodation shall become invalid.

Article 5 (Special Contracts Requiring No Deposit)

  1. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding article, the Hotel may accept a special contract requiring no deposit stipulated in the said article after conclusion of the accommodation contract.
  2. In a case that the Hotel fails to request payment of the deposit in the preceding article or fails to specify the due date of payment for the deposit at the time it accepts the application for an accommodation contract, the special contract in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to have been accepted.

Article 6 (Cancellation of Contract)

After the accommodation contract is concluded as stipulated in Article 4, if the guest cancels the said accommodation contract in whole or in part, the guest shall be required to pay the cancellation charges as follows:

  1. 100% of the total accommodation charge shall be paid if canceled on the day scheduled to stay overnight, 50% if cancelled between 7 days to 1 day before that day, and 30% if canceled 7 days to 2 days before that day.
  2. If the guest does not appear by 9:00 p.m. of the day scheduled to stay overnight without advance notice, or if no notice is given even after two hours have passed from the scheduled time of arrival (up to 9:00 p.m.), the accommodation contract shall be deemed as being cancelled by the guest and shall be handled accordingly by the Hotel.
  3. If the guest requests to shorten the number of stays, the cancellation charges shall be paid even when the Hotel accepts such request. In such case, the rate for cancellation charge shall be determined, according to Table 1 below, based on the number of days from [the day that the request for shortening of stays is made] to [the first day of stays] (means the first day in the initial accommodation contract), and the cancellation charges shall be the accommodation charges for [the number of days shortened] multiplied by such rate for cancellation charge (the accommodation charges for the number of days shortened x the rate for cancellation charge).

    ● Concrete Example
    (Example) Check-in on Feb. 1 and checkout on Feb. 6: Six-day and five-night stay (Reservation: Feb. 1 to Feb. 6)

    Two persons for five nights: Total 150,000 yen (when the accommodation charges of 30,000 yen/per night throughout the reservation)

    [The day that the request for shortening of stays is made]
    The reservation is changed to four days and three nights on Feb. 1 (schedule: Feb. 1 to Feb. 4).

    [The first day of stay] Feb. 1
    [The number of days shortened] Two nights (for Feb. 4 and 5) are cancelled.

    ○ Calculation of Cancellation Charges
    The accommodation charges for [the number of days shortened]
    (For two nights cancelled) 2 nights x 30,000 yen = 60,000 yen
    ○ The rate for cancellation charge (see Table 1 below)
    [100%: on the day scheduled] is applied
    → 60,000 yen x 100% = 60,000 yen (cancellation charge)

    Since the rate for cancellation charge shall be determined based on the number of days from [the day that the request for shortening of stays is made] to [the first day of stays], [50%: seven days to one day before] is not applied even for stays on Feb. 4 and 5. The cancellation charge based on the rate for cancellation charge shall be collected.
  4. In the event the accommodation contract is deemed as being cancelled by the guest in accordance with Paragraph 2, the cancellation charges as set forth in Paragraph 1 shall not be collected when the guest can prove that the failure to appear without advance notice is due to the delay or non-arrival of public transportation, including trains and aircraft, or any other reasons not attributable to the guest.
