But consider that you might actually give an honest answer about where you're staying (let's say a hotel) and then once there, discover it's not to your liking, or you just want to travel around a city (or country), and then find other accommodations later.

I can't remember with 100% certainty, but I think whenever I've been to Japan I've just put down my initial hotel location as best I can in Romaji, (or made something up) which half the time has ended up being something like "Capuseru Hoteru Kanda B, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo" and I've never been hassled over it.

I suppose in Japan, one could just as easily give the name/location of a Love Hotel, which as far as I know don't ever ask for identification or have you fill out any forms when checking in for a "rest" indicating who you are.
