I'm going to Okinawa next week and am staying at the Okinawa Marriott Resort and Spa. I've booked a room at 32000 JPY. But looking at the rate rules I see the following:

What does this mean? The time period I'll be there is 1-5 Aug. So is my rate really 81900 JPY?

You could always call the Marriott 1-800 number to ask. It's wild that the rates would vary so much and so often, but I guess it's possible depending on Japanese tourist seasons and the like. Those are some expensive rooms, too!
