I have stayed at the Peninsula Tokyo in the past and it was solid but rooms were Ok. I hear great things about RC club-level. Also, do these hotels accommodate 4 people in a room? Right now I am seeing rates for RC or Four Seasons at $1400+/night.

Am I searching too early? When is the right time to search? If I were to go one option lower, which hotels should I look at in both Tokyo and Kyoto?

Thanks for your help!
