Incidental / cash deposit to pay upon check-in to a hotel in Narita or Tokyo (Japan)?

Question:

I'd like to know the amount in cash if I did not bring along a credit card / and amount they will charge to my credit card if i use it. I'll be staying in a twin room for about 3 nights. Thanks in advance :)

Answer:

In Japan it would not be uncommon for people to pay with cash (more people use cash in Japan anyway), anyway, either credit or cash, all is usually paid upfront at check-in. There is generally no predeposit then the rest paid at check out, generally you just pay all at check-in.
