新しいホテルの予約開始時期は：すでに営業中のホテルはおよそ1年前から予約可能ですが、新しいホテルは開業の2〜3ヶ月前にならないと予約が始まらないケースもあります。こまめなチェックをおすすめします。

Booking Info: While established hotels typically accept reservations up to a year in advance, newly opening hotels may not begin taking bookings until 2–3 months before their opening date. We recommend checking back regularly for updates.

預訂資訊：現有飯店通常可提前約一年預訂，但新開幕的飯店有時要到開業前2〜3個月才會開放預約。建議您定期查看最新資訊。

예약 정보: 기존 호텔은 약 1년 전부터 예약이 가능하지만, 신규 오픈 호텔은 개업 2〜3개월 전까지 예약이 시작되지 않는 경우도 있습니다. 자주 확인하시기 바랍니다.
