Kyoto and Okinawa have been opening pricey hotels just in time for demand to return now that tourists are back.
In the three years since fiscal 2018, Kyoto has seen an increase of about 12,000 hotel rooms, according to the Kyoto city government.

There were few foreign visitors when the Roku Kyoto first opened its doors, but now roughly half the guests come from abroad.
