Minpaku business generally refers to businesses that provide private accommodations such as homes or rental properties. In Japan, the June 2018 revision of the Residential Accommodation Business Law (Minpaku New Law) legalized "minpaku," in which individuals offer their self-owned or rented homes to travelers for a fee.
The private accommodations business in Japan is subject to a licensing system, and each municipality has different ordinances. If you wish to operate a private residence, you must first notify the competent local government and obtain the necessary permits and approvals. It is also necessary to comply with laws and regulations such as the Fire Defense Law and the Building Standards Law.
The private accommodation business is contributing to the expansion of Japan's tourism industry and is particularly popular among foreign travelers. However, problems with neighboring residents and noise issues have been noted, and care must be taken when operating such facilities.
There are various reasons for starting a private home-stay business, such as business for inbound tourists, measures for vacant houses, and utilization of properties available for rent.
