Airbnb could be the solution
What is Airbnb?
Airbnb is a community marketplace where guests can book spaces from hosts, connecting people who have free space with those who are looking for a place to stay.
Airbnb reimburses the hosts for covered property damage made by guests up to 80,000,000 Yen.
There are about 3000 Airbnb listings in Japan, of which, approximately 2000 are in Tokyo. Airbnb has huge potential to grow in Japan as the Japanese government has recently passed a law encouraging people to have guests at their property without a hotel license in anticipation of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
