The hotel is now open to reservations in Marriott‘s website. During the foliage season they charge 70k points during weekends, which still represents great value compared to cash rates.

Just booked using points for next year's sakura in early-April (hopefully international travel is feasible by then). This property looks amazing. 70k points/night (cheapest room rate is 110,000 JPY - over $1000/night).

It doesn't seem like points are being deducted for award reservation here.
I thought I made a mistake so cancelled and re-booked another reservation. But the points are still not being deducted.
When I go on Marriott.com and try to deduct the points, it comes back with an error message.

Did your points balance get deducted? I made sure I had sufficient (280K) points to avoid points advance - in case they increase the points required. But my balance wasn't deducted. Then, I made a RC Nikko booking (was expecting to use points advance), but the full amount was deducted immediately, dropping my balance below 280K.

While RC Kyoto is the best RC in the world for me (i've been to only 8 locations though), I would love to try the Mitsui next time when i'm in town. Just want to experience it.
finally, we have another Luxury Collection option "in town" (not Arashiyama where Suiran located).

Realized this existed today, just how many properties are going to flag Marriott in Kyoto? I realize tons of tourists come to Japan now and Kyoto in particular, but is tourist demand really that tremendous?
