If I were the hotel I would insist that the customer paid the 0.28 yen (or whatever) in cash at time of check in. They can refuse everything except cash if they want and good luck paying a fraction of a yen. The yen decimal alone is enough to tell you the rate isn't valid.

Based on Aero137's post, I would guess that all this 3rd party site does is take your information and use it to book with Hyatt under some corporate code that contains the "actual" rate information. So any charges to CC would be under Hyatt's rate.

For those of you outside Japan, did the rates show up in yen by default, or did you have to change the currency to see yen rates?

FWIW, any hotel in the world that's on this site is showing such rates when currency is shown in yen.
Example: Four Seasons New York Downtown showing as 73.40 yen.

Sen are used in trading stocks, but otherwise it is not possible to account in sen. It is like the American half cent, except that technically I think if you had 2 half cents you could still exchange them at a bank for a penny, whereas the deadline to do this in Japan was 1955.
