All of Japan has been overpriced on points, and the Westin Tokyo was probably least mis-categorized. The true shocker on this list is that SR Osaka remains Cat 6, instead of going down to Cat 5 or even Cat 4. It routinely has a cash component of C&P ($180) in excess of revenue rates (JPY16-18k). It is rare to see this hotel above JPY25k.
