Work from $1.40 a night per person for Tokyo: nights × rate (× category where applicable) is the whole formula, and the widget above runs it for your dates. Family of 4, 5 nights = $28.00 at mid tier — every guest pays, so headcount multiplies the bill. It ranks #41 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax, and the rate is flat across categories — collected by the hotel at check-out.
Tokyo charges $1.40 a night: the regime explained
The regime in plain terms: Tokyo's accommodation tax — ¥100 per night for rooms at ¥10,000–14,999 per person, ¥200 above ¥15,000 — moving to a 3% room-rate model with a ¥13,000 tax-free floor from April 2027. Basis: charged per person per night, meaning a family of four in Tokyo pays four times the nightly rate. No category multiplier applies — the $1.40 nightly figure holds from hostel to five-star, which quietly favors luxury stays.
Room rates under ¥10,000 per person are exempt from Tokyo's accommodation tax. Tokyo's tax is tiny by European standards — ¥100–200 — but it's charged per person per night including children over elementary age.

Where Tokyo ranks among 49 tracked tourist taxes
Rank check: #41 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax, which is cheap by international standards; most visitors to Tokyo never notice the line item. Whatever the level, expect it to climb — the decade's pattern is annual review and annual increase, and Tokyo is not exempt from that pressure.
Paying it: the Tokyo folio, fine print and exemptions
Collection always runs through the accommodation in Tokyo: itemized at check-out, remitted by the property. Two habits save arguments in Tokyo — screenshot the regime's rules when you book (they change yearly now) and verify whether your platform's "taxes and fees" figure already contains the $1.40 levy.
