Found out the hard way that hostels in Tokyo book up 3 months in advance

I was planning a trip to Japan last week and figured I could just grab a hostel bed a few weeks out like I do in Europe. Nope. Everything under $50 a night was completely sold out from March through May. I dug into some hostel booking stats and apparently Tokyo only has like 200 hostel beds total for millions of visitors. Ended up paying double for a capsule hotel near Shinjuku. Has anyone else hit this wall with popular Asian cities?
