How much does an extra bed cost at a hotel in Japan, and is the crib free? Each hotel answers on its own FAQ, family page or room page, and the answers do not line up. So we read the official pages of every hotel we could and put the ones that publish a fixed extra-bed fee in one table: 21 hotels.
The short version: the fixed fees run from ¥3,000 to ¥16,500 a night, and the median of these 21 hotels is ¥5,000. Just as many hotels publish no fee: 13 charge a child who needs a bed as a guest, and 9 say an extra bed exists but give no price. Cribs are free at 43 of 51 hotels that say whether cribs are free.
If your child will share your bed rather than use an extra one, the free age is in our kids stay free table.
Hotel extra bed fees in Japan: the table
Sorted by the fee for one extra bed, cheapest first. “Not stated” means the official page does not say. ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Narita gives two prices on two pages; we sort and count it at ¥3,630. Every row’s official page is listed under Sources.

What the extra bed fee table shows
What is the median extra bed fee?
¥5,000 a night across these 21 hotels. Three charge exactly that: The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo, Odysis Suites Osaka Airport Hotel and Star Gate Hotel Kansai Airport. Counting ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Narita at ¥4,000 instead of ¥3,630, the median is still ¥5,000. That is the middle of this table, not a rate for Japan: most hotels we checked do not publish a fixed fee.
What are the cheapest and most expensive extra beds?
The lowest fee is ¥3,000, at ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Toyama (tax and service included, regular-floor Deluxe Twin only) and at Hotel Nikko Tachikawa Tokyo, where the ¥3,000 is added before tax and service. The highest is ¥16,500 at Palace Hotel Tokyo, and ¥44,000 in its Club rooms. Next come InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 at ¥15,000 and two hotels at ¥12,650.
Do extra bed fees differ within the same hotel chain?
In some chains, barely. ANA Crowne Plaza charges ¥3,000 in Toyama, ¥3,500 in Akita and ¥3,630 in Kyoto, and Narita shows ¥3,630 or ¥4,000. In others, a lot. Nikko runs from ¥3,000 in Tachikawa and ¥3,300 in Narita to ¥8,855 at Hotel Nikko Princess Kyoto. Okura charges ¥6,325 in Kobe and ¥12,650 in Kyoto. Look up the hotel, not the chain.
Does the extra bed price depend on the guest’s age?
At most hotels in the table, the page gives one price per bed. Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo says so outright: ¥12,650 “regardless of the guest’s age”. Hotel Okura Kyoto calls its ¥12,650 the same as the adult rate, with no child rate. Three hotels also state an adult-rate rule for children: Hotel Nikko Princess Kyoto, Hotel Okura Kobe and InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8.
Which rooms can take an extra bed?
Often only some. InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 takes extra beds in twin rooms only, Hotel Century Southern Tower in Scenic Twin Rooms only (one per room), ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Akita in Premium Twin and Suite rooms, and ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Toyama in regular-floor Deluxe Twins. At The Strings, the extra bed in a suite goes in the living room.
Extra bed fees that depend on age or season
Three hotels publish a fixed amount, but with a condition that makes it a different kind of charge. We keep them out of the table and the median.
| Hotel | Fee | Condition | Crib |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach Okinawa (Itoman) | Children 12 and under on an extra bed: ¥10,000 (Deluxe Twin, Premier Twin) or ¥14,000 (Premier Club Twin, suites), tax incl., all year | A child’s price only; no adult extra-bed price on the page. Breakfast extra | Yes, roughly under 8 months, not for babies who can pull up to stand; price not stated |
| Ki Niseko Hokkaido (Niseko) | Per extra guest beyond standard occupancy: winter ¥10,000 a night; summer ¥2,800 (ages 7–15) or ¥3,800 (16+) | A charge per extra guest, not per bed. Futon or rollaway; 1 Bedroom and larger only, not Hotel Rooms | Free (1 Bedroom and larger) |
| Skye Niseko Hokkaido (Niseko) | Per extra guest beyond standard occupancy: winter ¥10,000 a night; summer ¥2,800 (ages 7–15) or ¥3,800 (16+) | A third guest in 1-Bedroom Suites only, on a Murphy bed or futon | Free |
Is a per-guest charge the same as an extra bed fee?
No. Ki Niseko and Skye Niseko charge for each guest beyond standard occupancy: ¥10,000 a night in winter, and in summer ¥2,800 for ages 7 to 15 or ¥3,800 for 16 and up. The extra guest sleeps on a futon, a rollaway or, at Skye Niseko, a Murphy bed.
What does Ryukyu Hotel charge for a child’s extra bed?
For children 12 and under on an extra bed, ¥10,000 in Deluxe Twin and Premier Twin rooms and ¥14,000 in Premier Club Twin rooms and suites, tax included, all year. Breakfast is extra. The page gives no adult extra-bed price.
When a hotel gives no extra bed fee
Which hotels charge a child who needs a bed as a guest?
13 hotels publish a rule instead of a price. At twelve of them, a child who uses a bed of their own pays as an adult, or the page tells you to add an adult to the booking. Kamakura Prince Hotel charges the stay plan’s child rate instead.
- Hotel Universal Port: Preschoolers (0–6) with a bed: the same rate as adults

How many hotels lend cribs free?
43 of 51 hotels that say whether cribs are free say it is free, from Palace Hotel Tokyo, Imperial Hotel and The Okura Tokyo to Hotel Nikko Tsukuba and MIMARU. Where a page lists a crib without saying free or paid, as at Hotel New Otani Osaka, Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo and Halekulani Okinawa, we have not counted it as free.
Which hotels charge for a crib?
6, from ¥500 to ¥3,300 a night:
| Hotel | Crib fee | What the page says | Age |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hotel Takayama Green Hotel | ¥3,300 | ¥3,300 per night; booking required | under 1 |
| Sapporo Grand Hotel | ¥1,600 | ¥1,600 per night, tax and service incl. | ages 0–2 |

Which hotels have no cribs?
2. Dormy Inn says it has no cribs, though some hotels in the chain have bed guards; ask the hotel. Hotel Cordia Osaka says it has none.
Up to what age can a baby use a hotel crib?
The limits vary widely. Around 24 months: Palace Hotel Tokyo, The Strings, Shinagawa Prince Hotel, Hilton Nagoya (about 24 months) and MIMARU (under 2), and Swissotel Nankai Osaka (under 2 and up to 15 kg). Under 18 months at Hotel New Otani Tokyo. Under 1 is the most common single limit, at The Okura Tokyo, Hotel Okura Tokyo Bay, Hotel Century Southern Tower, Park Hotel Tokyo and Hotel East 21 Tokyo among others. Imperial Hotel says under 10 months, and Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo and Nagoya Kanko Hotel stop at 6 months.
Do some hotels refuse cribs for babies who can stand?
Yes. Shinagawa Prince Hotel, Hotel Nikko Princess Kyoto, Okinawa Kariyushi Beach Resort Ocean Spa and Hotel Resol Trinity Osaka do not give cribs to babies who can pull up to stand. Some rooms cannot take a crib: Hotel Nikko Narita rules out Style Single, Family and Comfort rooms, and Hotel Metropolitan Marunouchi places cribs in twin and king rooms only.
How to use the extra bed fee table when you book
Should I book an extra bed or a bigger room?
Compare the two for your dates. Several hotels limit extra beds to one per room or to twin rooms, and Hotel Gracery Shinjuku asks you to book another room if you need a bed. For rooms that sleep a family without an extra bed, see our family hotels in Tokyo. We have not compared room rates.
What should I check before I book an extra bed?
Whether your room type can take one, whether the fee is before tax, and how many the hotel has; several say extra beds and cribs are limited and must be requested when you book. Late checkout has its own fee; see our late checkout table.
