Your property earns. You do nothing.
Running an Airbnb in Japan isn't like running one at home. Language barriers, licensing laws, local emergency contacts – it's a full-time job. We handle every part of it, so you don't have to be on-call from across the Pacific.

Everything from first listing to last checkout.
Japanese law requires a local emergency contact and on-site manager for all short-term rentals. You can't do it fully remote – but we can. Here's what's covered under our management fee.
We manage the full license application process – whether that's a Simple Lodging (Ryokan) license for 365-day rental or a Residential, 30+ day rental. We know which zones allow which, and we handle all paperwork.
Professional photography, compelling copy, and strategic pricing across Airbnb and other major booking platforms. Your listing goes live looking like it belongs in a magazine.
Our bilingual team handles all guest inquiries, booking confirmations, check-in instructions, and mid-stay questions – in Japanese, English, and many other languages, around the clock.
We coordinate professional cleaning after every stay. Linens, restocking essentials, staging for the next guest. Cleaning fees are passed through transparently – you're never subsidizing it.
We're the local contact. If something breaks at 2am, our team deals with it. Routine maintenance, contractor coordination, and on-call emergency response – all without waking you up.
We collect all booking revenue, convert it to USD, and pay you out in dollars. You receive regular performance reports so you always know how your property is performing.
In ski towns like Otaru, Niseko, Hakuba, and Furano snow management is serious business. Entrance clearing and additional seasonal or roof-clearing services are coordinated by our team at transparent cost.
Property taxes in Japan arrive by mail in spring and must be paid in-person or at a convenience store. We can handle this on your behalf, along with monthly utility tracking – all from your reserve account.
Properties that look incredible book faster and at higher nightly rates. Our in-house designer can handle furnishing and styling for your STR before it launches – ask us about our interior design service.
How we get your property earning.
Once you've closed on your property (with us or otherwise), we assess zoning, license eligibility, and any compliance upgrades needed. We walk you through the options and costs before anything is committed.
If your property needs furnishing before launch, our interior design team steps in. STR-optimized layouts, durable but beautiful pieces, and a styling that photographs well. This is a separate service – ask us about pricing.
We handle all filings, inspections, and coordination with local authorities. Timeline varies by license type and municipality, but we manage every step and keep you updated throughout. Estimate 2-6 months.
Professional photos, optimized listing copy, pricing strategy, and live on Airbnb and other OTAs. Your property goes live with everything it needs to compete on day one.
From here, we run the show. Bookings, guests, cleaning, maintenance, snow. You receive your payout in your home currency and a regular performance report. That's it.
