Japan Hotels & Ryokan Prices (jalan.net)

Japanese hotels and ryokan with per-person prices, plan lists, ratings and facility facts — from jalan.net, Japan's largest domestic travel booking site, in a clean English schema.

This Actor searches jalan.net's public hotel listings by prefecture and area and returns each facility as English-schema JSON: name, facility type (hotel/ryokan/pension/…), area and prefecture (with JIS code and English name), full address and postal code, guest rating and review count, per-person price range in JPY (tax included), the advertised stay plans (plan name, room type, meal condition, price), room count, check-in/out times, onsen flag and amenity list. Prices can be undated (each facility's lowest advertised price) or for a concrete check-in date, nights and guest count.

Many Japanese hotels and most traditional ryokan sell primarily — sometimes exclusively — through jalan.net, and the site is Japanese-only and Shift-JIS encoded, which makes it invisible to most international tooling. This Actor is the bridge.

Unofficial tool. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Recruit Co., Ltd. or jalan.net. 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), and extracts factual business data only — no review texts, no reviewer names, 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?

• Hotel revenue management & rate shopping — monitor competitors' jalan.net prices by area and date; inbound-record tourism and rising ADRs make Japanese OTA price data valuable, and jalan-only ryokan never show up on Booking.com.
• Travel startups & OTAs — build inventory awareness of the Japanese domestic market, including facilities that don't exist on international platforms.
• Market research & real estate — hospitality supply, price levels, and ratings by region; onsen/ryokan segment analyses.
• Data teams — a stable English schema over a Shift-JIS, Japanese-only source.

Input example

{
  "prefecture": "Kyoto",
  "area": "京都駅",
  "checkin": "2026-09-15",
  "nights": 1,
  "guests": 2,
  "maxItems": 50
}

prefecture is required (JIS code, Japanese or English name). area narrows to one of the prefecture's jalan areas (code or Japanese name substring; the run log lists all available areas). Without checkin, prices are each facility's lowest advertised rates.

Pricing

Pay per result — see the pricing tab. One prefecture area is typically tens to a few hundred facilities.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? Live from jalan.net's public, login-free hotel list and facility pages at run time. Every record embeds the source, source URL, a license note, and the retrieval timestamp.

Is this an official jalan.net / Recruit service? No. Unofficial, independently built and maintained, and not affiliated with or endorsed by Recruit Co., Ltd. It reads only publicly available pages.

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-phrases/descriptions), which stays 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.

Are prices accurate? Prices are what jalan.net advertised at retrieval time, per person, tax included, for the searched conditions (or the undated lowest advertised price). They change constantly — treat them as a snapshot, and re-run for fresh data.

What about server load? Strictly serial requests, ≥1.2 s apart, ~30 facilities per list page, one extra request per facility detail, hard per-run request budget (max 60), exponential backoff, no CAPTCHA/login/block evasion. If jalan.net changes its page format, the Actor stops with a clear error instead of silently mis-parsing; if it blocks persistently, the run fails visibly.
