Thank you both for the assurance. It gives me incentive to split the nights. I can insert a non Hyatt night at a hotel nearby.
Given it is in Japan, (or even at other places) we can leave our bags with Hyatt at check out and pick up the bags when we return for our next stay.
Last time Park Hyatt actually delivered our bags to Hyatt Regency when we left Tokyo for Osaka for several days. Hyatt Regency made me sign a receipt upon check in.
Other chains do the same. Westin Palace in Milan kept our bags for 4 days when we split to Prague and then returned to the hotel after the trip. The Concierge did make me sign a release on responsibility though.

I am afraid so. Can you find another property nearby to split your stay? Else you would not earn until your 2nd stay. But you have a total of 4 nights... Could potentially split into 3 stays... if you dont mind the moving.
