*Median nightly Chase Travel rate (fees in) for two-night stays across the coming year, for planning only. Chase rates typically run 10 to 20 percent above the hotel's own site; the Edit credits and perks only apply to Chase Travel bookings, and the price match guarantee can close the gap. Hotel names open each hotel’s page, which includes an affiliate price comparison: if you book through it we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. We earn nothing on Chase Travel bookings and take no card-application commissions. “Hotel site” opens the hotel’s own website, or Google Maps when we don’t know it; the Edit credits require a prepaid booking in Chase Travel.
The list and map below cover all 17 Edit by Chase hotels in Tokyo, each with its typical nightly rate on Chase Travel and a double-credit flag where it applies. Of those, 16 have a full year of Chase Travel pricing, and the monthly figures on this page are medians across them.
Timing changes the math more than hotel choice does: the citywide median nightly rate (fees included) runs from $709 in July to $1,259 in April, about 78 percent above the cheapest month. Sapphire Reserve credits are fixed dollars, so they go furthest when rates bottom out. A two-night stay at the cheapest month’s $709 median runs about $1,418, and the $250 Edit credit plus the $100 property credit are worth roughly 25 percent of it. At the three double-credit hotels the stack grows to $600, about 42 percent of that same stay.
The value end of the list sits below even the cheapest month’s citywide median. The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo by IHG has the lowest typical rate of any Tokyo Edit hotel with a year of pricing, $446 a night (5 stars), and Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo by IHG follows at $490 (5 stars).

July is the cheapest month to book an Edit hotel in Tokyo, with a median nightly Chase Travel rate of $709 across the 16 hotels with a year of pricing. The figure includes fees and comes from nightly price calendars refreshed every day. January comes next at $722 and August after it at $730.
The summer floor is a weather story. Tokyo’s June rainy season and the humid July and August heat keep leisure demand down, and WhenVerdict groups January and February with the summer months as the city’s low season.
January is a separate floor. Trip Budget Calculator calls January the single cheapest month to visit Tokyo, once the post-New Year travel rush fades.
April is the most expensive month at a $1,259 median, about 78 percent above the cheapest month. October is next at $1,185 and March after it at $1,118.
Cherry blossom season adds a 40 to 60 percent accommodation premium in late March and April, per Jetsetter Alerts.

One concrete play: The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo by IHG has the lowest typical rate in Tokyo at $446 a night. Two nights at that rate come to about $892, and the $250 Edit credit plus the $250 select-hotel credit (it is a double-credit hotel) bring the room to roughly $392, with the $100 property credit to spend at the hotel on top. Booking in July, when rates across the city bottom out, is likely to bring the bill lower still.
Three of the 17 Tokyo Edit hotels qualify: the The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo by IHG, the Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo by IHG and the Bellustar Tokyo, a Pan Pacific Hotel. Booking one through Chase Travel stacks the $250 Edit credit with the separate $250 select-hotel credit, up to $500 off a single prepaid stay of two nights or more, with the $100 property credit on top. The select-hotel credit runs through December 31, 2026.
July is the cheapest month, with a median nightly Chase Travel rate of $709 across the 16 Tokyo Edit hotels with a year of pricing, fees included. January comes next at $722 and August after it at $730. April, the peak month, runs a $1,259 median, so moving a two-night booking from the peak to the cheapest month saves about $1,100 at the citywide median.
Per stay. Each Edit booking includes one $100 property credit, however long the stay, and it usually goes to food and drink at the hotel. On a two-night stay at the cheapest month’s Tokyo median of $709 a night, that $100 plus the $250 Edit credit return $350, about 25 percent of the roughly $1,418 room cost.
The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo by IHG has the lowest typical rate of the 16 Tokyo Edit hotels with a year of pricing: a $446 median nightly Chase Travel rate (5 stars). Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo by IHG is next at $490 (5 stars). At The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo by IHG’s typical rate, two nights cost about $892 before credits.
Median nightly Chase Travel rates across the 16 priced Tokyo Edit hotels, fees included, run from $709 in July to $1,259 in April. Individual hotels span a wider band, from The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo by IHG at $446 to Bulgari Hotel Tokyo at $2,233 a night.
Yes, if your dates are flexible. Median nightly rates run $709 in July against $1,259 in April, a $550 per-night gap, so a two-night stay at the median costs about $1,418 in the cheapest month and about $2,518 at the peak. The $350 in combined credits is worth about 25 percent of the cheaper stay and about 14 percent of the dearer one.
