I booked a points hotel in Kyoto after this goes into effect (paid with pts). The cash rate at time of booking was $199. I wonder if they'll use that or another rate to compute this tax. Assuming around this rate for double occupancy, then the per-person rate should be under 20k yen, hence 1k per person tax. That's about $13 per night for 2 people.
