PMS users can now record the number of adults, children and infants on bookings made via the accommodation booking engine. Simply define the age ranges of each guest type, then set the quantities allowed for each room type. Once configured, new guests will be able to select the number of adults, children and infants staying from the applicable options, with the system automatically recording the breakdown when a booking is made.

Yatsugatake is located across Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures in Japan. Yatsugatake, which means “eight peaks” in Japanese, is a volcanic chain which stretches across 25 km from north to south with the peaks of 2,500m or higher above sea level. The expansive area has long fascinated Japanese tourists and alpinists as both an incredible highland hot spring resort, as well as a mountaineering and rock climbing mecca. Still a hidden gem in the international market, Yatsugatake is close to Nozawa Onsen which is popular among the international travelers, with its cold but sunny winter weather allowing the resorts to create perfectly groomed ski slopes ideal for ski lessons, and offering many attractive nearby destinations where you can delve into the history of Japan, such as Suwa Taisha Shrine.
Flywire, an online payment system popular among the RoomBoss users, shared a case study with AYA Niseko. Aya Niseko is a luxury ski-in ski-out hotel located at the heart of Hirafu area in Niseko, and the 90% of its guests during the winter seasons are from overseas. Payments from international guests can often result in high fees for both the resort and the guests. Flywire was a perfect solution for AYA Niseko which was looking for a payment option that would reduce transaction costs while providing a simple and secure payment experience for their guests. RoomBoss is also mentioned in the article as AYA Niseko’s PMS and online booking engine provider in the article. Please visit Flywire case study HERE to learn more.

Now most of the ski resorts in Hokkaido are open for the 2022-23 winter season! This is the first winter season after the Japan’s borders have opened again to the international guests. We are proud to be providing systems to Niseko, Rusutsu, Kiroro, Moiwa, Teine resorts and a myriad of independent resort businesses across the prefecture.
We are happy to have released a new system “RB CAR” on November 1st! RB CAR was developed as part of a DX (Digital Transformation) project sponsored by the Hokkaido Transport Bureau. The project aims to increase efficiency when rental cars are transported by carrier trucks to the starting point required by customers. As well as digitizing the order process, RB CAR can help maximize the number of cars transported by each carrier truck. We are proud to be working with the Hokkaido Transport Bureau and supporting the 18 rental car companies and 9 transportation companies who are participating in this exciting initiative.
Japan announces borders to return to normal from October 11. Travellers will once again be able to enter Japan without the need for a special visa, PCR tests or to be part of a tour. Long awaited and welcome news for the travel industry as a whole, and the 320 Japanese-tourism businesses that we support.
RoomBoss team members met with MLIT and representatives from 6 car transportation companies at MLIT’s Sapporo office. It was great to receive additional feedback from the transportation companies, to help shape the upcoming system RB is developing to assist them and rental car companies work together more efficiently.
