## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Japan Luxury Hotels & Ryokan (ikyu.com)

**Japan's curated luxury accommodation market — hotels, ryokan and villas from ikyu.com (一休.com), with ratings, room counts, geo coordinates and advertised prices, in a clean English schema.**

This Actor searches ikyu.com's public area listings by prefecture and area and returns each facility as English-schema JSON: name, facility type (hotel/ryokan/villa), area and prefecture (with JIS code and English name), full address and postal code, latitude/longitude, guest rating and review count, total room count, and the lowest advertised price in JPY (tax included, for the site-default party of 2 adults / 1 night / 1 room). Optional detail fetches add check-in/check-out times, an onsen flag and amenity flags (pool, gym, airport shuttle …).

ikyu.com is Japan's invitation-based **luxury** OTA — facilities are curated, skewing to 4–5 star hotels, high-end ryokan and villas that often never list on international platforms. The site is Japanese-only, which makes this segment invisible to most international tooling. This Actor is the bridge.

> **Unofficial tool.** Not affiliated with or endorsed by Ikyu Corporation or LY Corporation. It collects **publicly available data only** (no login, no paywall), politely (strictly serial requests, ≥1.2 s apart, hard per-run budget, no block evasion, robots.txt-open pages only), and extracts **factual business data only** — no review texts, no reviewer names, no marketing prose, no phone numbers, no personal data of any kind (relevant e.g. under GDPR: no personal data is collected or processed). Users are responsible for ensuring their own use of the data complies with the source site's terms and applicable law.

***

### Who is this for?

- **Luxury travel agencies & concierge services** — inventory awareness of Japan's high-end hotels and ryokan, including facilities that don't exist on Booking.com or Expedia; ratings and price levels by area.
- **Hotel revenue management & rate shopping** — monitor the luxury segment's advertised prices by area; inbound-record tourism and rising ADRs make Japanese OTA price data valuable.
- **Market research & real estate** — luxury hospitality supply, price levels, room counts and ratings by region; onsen/ryokan segment analyses with geo coordinates.
- **Data teams** — a stable English schema over a Japanese-only source, aligned field-for-field with the same developer's jalan.net actor for cross-OTA joins.

### Sample output (dataset item)

### Input example

```json
{
  "prefecture": "Kyoto",
  "area": "京都駅",
  "accommodationType": "ryokan",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

`prefecture` is required (JIS code, Japanese or English name). `area` narrows to one of the prefecture's ikyu areas (ma-code or Japanese name substring; the run log lists all available areas). `accommodationType` filters to hotels, ryokan, or villas.

### Pricing

Pay per result — see the pricing tab. One prefecture area is typically tens to a few hundred facilities (ikyu is curated, so counts are smaller and more selective than mass-market OTAs).

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?**
Live from ikyu.com's public, login-free area listing and facility pages at run time. Every record embeds the source, source URL, a license note, and the retrieval timestamp.

**Is this an official ikyu.com / LY Corporation service?**
No. **Unofficial**, independently built and maintained, and **not affiliated with or endorsed by Ikyu Corporation or LY Corporation.** It reads only publicly available pages that ikyu.com's robots.txt leaves open to general crawlers.

**Are reviews included?**
Only the numeric rating average and review count. Review texts and reviewer names are **never extracted** — deliberately: review prose is user-generated copyrighted content and can contain personal data. The same applies to the hotels' own marketing prose (catch copies/descriptions) and published phone numbers, which stay on the source site. This keeps the output strictly factual business data, with no personal data (GDPR-relevant collection: none).

**Who is responsible for how the data is used?**
You are. The Actor collects publicly available factual data politely, but the legality of your specific use (redistribution, database rights, the source site's terms) is your responsibility as the user.

**Can I search for a specific check-in date?**
No — by design. ikyu.com's robots.txt disallows its dated search endpoints to crawlers, so this Actor only reads the robots-open undated listings: each facility's lowest advertised price for the site-default party (2 adults, 1 night, 1 room), before point discounts. Treat prices as a snapshot and re-run for fresh data.

**Do I need a proxy?**
Probably yes. ikyu.com answers HTTP 403 to requests from datacenter IP ranges (observed 2026-08-25 for both direct Apify runs and Apify's datacenter proxy), while the same requests succeed from ordinary consumer connections. Set `proxyConfiguration` to Apify **Residential** proxies for reliable runs. The Actor never rotates identities or evades blocks on its own — a persistent 403/429 fails the run visibly.

**What about server load?**
Strictly serial requests, ≥1.2 s apart, 20 facilities per list page, one optional extra request per facility detail, hard per-run request budget (max 60), exponential backoff, no CAPTCHA/login/block evasion. If ikyu.com changes its page format, the Actor stops with a clear error instead of silently mis-parsing; if it blocks persistently, the run fails visibly.

# Actor input Schema

## `prefecture` (type: `string`):

REQUIRED. Prefecture to search: JIS code ("26"), Japanese ("京都府") or English ("Kyoto"). ikyu.com area hubs are prefecture-scoped.

## `area` (type: `string`):

Optional area filter: an ikyu area code ("ma026005") or a substring of the Japanese area name (e.g. "京都駅" matches 京都駅周辺). Leave empty to search all areas of the prefecture. The run log lists every area code/name the prefecture offers.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Optional case-insensitive substring filter on the facility name (Japanese or English), applied client-side.

## `accommodationType` (type: `string`):

Optional facility-type filter, applied client-side on ikyu's published type: "hotel" (city/business/resort hotels), "ryokan" (traditional inns), or "villa" (vacation rentals). Leave as "all" for every type.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When true, each facility costs one extra request but adds check-in/check-out times, an onsen flag and amenity flags (pool, gym, airport shuttle …). When false (default) the actor emits list data only — name, type, area, address, geo, rating, review count, room count, lowest advertised price — which is already rich on ikyu.com.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many dataset records.

## `maxApiRequests` (type: `integer`):

Hard budget of HTTP requests to ikyu.com for this run (1 hub page + list pages of 20 facilities + 1 per facility detail if enabled). Requests are strictly serial with >= 1.2 s spacing. When the budget runs out the run completes with complete=false in RUN\_SUMMARY.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify proxy settings. ikyu.com blocks datacenter IP ranges (HTTP 403), so RESIDENTIAL proxies are recommended for reliable runs. Never used for rotation/evasion — one client identity per run.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "prefecture": "Kyoto",
  "area": "京都駅",
  "keyword": "リッツ",
  "accommodationType": "all",
  "includeDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 10,
  "maxApiRequests": 30
}
