The ryokan inns of Ginzan Onsen, Japan sell out half a year ahead — and rooms come back from cancellations. Pick your inns and nights; we alert you the instant one frees up.

Three steps, then just wait. We automate the race for sold-out reservations.

Get on with planning your trip to Japan. If a room opens up, the alert finds you.
When a cancellation appears we ping you — you book it yourself on the official page.

Launch discount pricing. No changes or refunds after purchase. We can't guarantee that a spot will open or that you'll get the booking.
Openings appear all year from cancellations. AkiWatch covers 7 sought-after ryokan inns in Ginzan Onsen, Yamagata, Japan and alerts you by email or phone push the moment a room opens. Rooms are first-come-first-served, so book quickly on the inn's official booking page.
These inns run no official waitlist — AkiWatch effectively works as one. Pick your inns and nights, and get notified the instant a cancellation frees a room. We watch each inn's official booking site, where it sells rooms directly (most Ginzan inns sell only there); inventory on travel agencies is separate.
The availability calendar for all 7 covered inns is free with no signup. Instant alerts (email, push, Telegram) for your chosen inns and nights are a paid plan (from $6.99).
