## What is YadoSearch?

Find a place to stay in Japan from wherever you are, whether you are travelling or have just missed the last train.

YadoSearch searches Jalan net and Rakuten Travel at the same time, merges an inn carried by both into a single row, and shows the lowest price from each.

The interface is in Japanese, and both booking sites are Japanese services.

■ Four ways to search

・By the inn's name
・Around you (from about 1km to about 10km)
・By area (region → prefecture → large area → small area)
・Around a station

■ Filters

・Property type, lower and upper guide price
・Party size (adults, primary school children, and preschoolers in four bands by bedding and meals)
・About 60 conditions including hot spring, open-air bath, parking and pets allowed
・Sort order (price ascending or descending, Jalan net popularity, kana)

Filters apply to the Jalan net half of the results.

■ Inn details

・Vacancy and plans, with the rate for each night
・Map and directions
・Switch between Jalan net and Rakuten Travel

■ Favourites and history

Favourites, the inns you have looked at, and your past searches sync through iCloud.

Search on an iPhone, book on a Mac.

■ Requirements

iPhone, iPad and Mac.
