I would not advise that. Just stick with Hyatt in Japan even without status, unless of course Ritz-Carlton or high end Starwood properties are options.

SPG/Marriott Platinum would be very useful if you can somehow get it.

If paying BAR at these hotels, Virtuoso, R-C STARS, Starwood Luxury Priveleges, and Amex FHR bookings will get valuable benefits such as upgrades, breakfast, and hotel credit, etc...

On Virtuoso bookings there are, and no status is required.
