Letting in Tokyo
Rules and licensing
The minpaku law caps private lodging at 180 nights per year, requires notification to the local authority, and many wards impose additional restrictions on which days of the week are permitted.
Tourist tax
A per-person-per-night accommodation tax applies above a price threshold.
How the year is shaped
Cherry blossom in late March and April, and autumn colour in November, are the two sharp peaks. Golden Week in early May fills quickly.
Who books here
Short stays with high turnover. Space is at a premium, so a well-organised small flat near a station outperforms a larger one further out.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
