Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about starting and operating Airbnb and Minpaku businesses in Tokyo
Starting an Airbnb in Tokyo requires obtaining proper licensing. You have two main options: Minpaku (residential lodging) registration or Ryokan (simple lodging) license. Minpaku allows up to 180 days of operation per year and requires registration with local authorities. Ryokan license allows year-round operation but requires meeting stricter facility standards and fire safety regulations. We recommend consulting with professionals to determine which option suits your property and business goals. Our team provides comprehensive support from initial consultation through licensing, setup, and ongoing management.
Minpaku (民泊) is a residential lodging registration that allows property owners to rent their homes for up to 180 days per year. It has simpler requirements but operational limitations. Ryokan (簡易宿所) is a simple lodging business license that permits year-round operation without day limits. However, it requires meeting stricter facility standards, fire safety equipment, and regular inspections. Ryokan is better suited for dedicated rental properties, while Minpaku works well for occasional hosting or properties you also use personally. The choice depends on your property type, location, and business objectives.
Yes, foreigners can start Airbnb businesses in Japan, but there are important requirements. You must have proper residency status that allows business activities in Japan. Property ownership or a valid lease agreement is required, and you must designate a management representative who resides in Japan and can respond to issues within 30 minutes. For Minpaku registration, foreign residents can apply directly. For Ryokan licenses, you may need to establish a Japanese business entity. Our team has experience supporting international property owners and can guide you through the legal requirements, documentation, and application processes specific to your situation.
Minpaku registration in Tokyo typically takes 2-4 months from initial preparation to approval. The timeline includes: property assessment and preparation (2-3 weeks), document preparation and fire safety inspection (2-4 weeks), submission to local government (1-2 weeks processing), and final approval and registration (1-2 weeks). The exact duration varies by ward and property conditions. Ota City, where we are based, has streamlined processes for lodging businesses. Delays can occur if documents are incomplete or facility modifications are needed. We help expedite the process by ensuring all requirements are met before submission and maintaining good relationships with local authorities.

Not Just Paperwork. Real Business Support.
Understand the difference before you choose a service.
Legal-Only Service
Traditional consultants handle paperwork and licensing — but once the permit is issued, you're on your own. No operational guidance, no revenue strategy, no ongoing support.
Management-Only Service
Property management companies handle day-to-day operations, but they don't assist with licensing, accounting, or the strategic setup needed to launch a profitable business.
Our Full-Stack Approach
We cover every stage — from licensing and setup to daily operations, cleaning, revenue optimization, and accounting support. One team, one point of contact, complete coverage.
Based on Real Operational

We launched our own traditional lodging in Ota City — navigating every permit, inspection, and platform setup ourselves.
We've experienced the exact challenges our clients face: slow approvals, guest communication, pricing fluctuations, and cleaning logistics.
