Hopefully they will be more flexible when the hotel is not full, as it must be right now. In about 30 stays as Dia/Gob HR Kyoto never denied us a 4 pm checkout (although we were asked to change room once), and before that we always were granted 2 pm in about 10 stays as Plat, but of course the HR has a lot more rooms.
I was offered 1pm checkout. They did say peak season was a factor although I imagine given the size of the hotel, it will be full quite often regardless of season. I would note that I upgraded to a Park Suite and I’m checking out on New Year’s Eve.
