Watching highly-rated hotels across Tokushima for the Awa Odori (Aug 11–15).
Watched nights: Aug 11–15. Base: Tokushima Stn. The instant a highly-rated hotel frees up (a cancellation), Aki alerts you with a one-click Rakuten Travel booking link.
Tokushima Awa Odori (Aug 11–15) overlaps the Obon holidays, so hotels near the city's dance grounds sell out months ahead. Room supply in the city is limited, so it's book early or hunt for cancellations.
City hotels typically open for booking around January and sell out across April–May. Travel-agency blocks are released one or two days before the event, which can free up rooms.

Wait for a cancellation. Travel-agency blocks tend to be released one or two days before the event, so Aki watches Rakuten Travel automatically and alerts you the moment a room reopens. You book on Rakuten Travel.
No. Rakuten Travel has no official vacancy-alert feature. Aki is an independent, free tool that watches for those reopenings and alerts you with a one-click booking link the moment one appears.
