<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Tokyo_Downtown.jpg" class="top"> We usually expect Japanese hotels to be a bit on the pricey side, so it's nice to see a few good hotel deals going in the land of sushi. Major reservation website <a href="http://www.japanican.com/index.aspx">JAPANiCAN</a> (it's an offshoot of the huge JTB) has got a big Spring Hotel Special sale going that makes Japan seem suddenly dirt cheap.For hotel stays up until the end of June this year, there are special rates going at around 50% off the rack rate. With 485 different hotels across Japan included in the sale, it shouldn't be hard to find one whatever your destination. The sale also includes a few big name Tokyo hotels like the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Keio+Plaza+Tokyo/local/933">Keio Plaza Tokyo</a> or the

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/AntiVKeioPlazaTokyo.jpg" class="imgborder"> What a difference a room allocation can make. Not so long ago, we featured the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Keio+Plaza+Tokyo/local/933">Keio Plaza Tokyo</a> as a hotel with a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/6/28/14244/7049/hotels/Room+with+a+Killer+View%3A+The+Keio+Plaza+Hotel">killer view</a> over the night lights of Tokyo. But that picture came from an entirely different side of the hotel to this one, which we can only include as an anti-view.Checked in to a lower floor and with a view of modern but boring gray buildings, there's nothing inspiring about the view from this particular Keio Plaza window. Please ask for a room higher up if you stay here; only not too high if you're feeling a little on the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2004/8/9/7221/87310/hotels/Two+naked+men+jump+from+hotel">depressed side</a>.

<![CDATA[ We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/keio_plaza_kv.jpg" class="imgborder">Thanks to Flickr member <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/emaline/633356408/in/pool-hotelchatter/">Phonograffiti</a> for dropping this Killer view from the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Keio+Plaza+Tokyo/ian/106211">Keio Plaza Hotel</a> in Tokyo into the HotelChatter Flickr
