Short-Term Rental (Minpaku)

Japan's Minpaku Law (住宅宿泊事業法, enacted June 2018) allows homeowners to rent properties to tourists for short stays. Local governments can impose additional restrictions.

Special Zone (Tokku)

365 days/year. National Strategic Special Zones (like parts of Osaka and Tokyo) allow year-round short-term rentals with no day limit. Minimum stay: 2 nights.

Allowed (Standard) This property

Up to 180 days/year. The national standard under the Minpaku Law. Registration with prefectural authorities is required. No additional local restrictions beyond the national cap.

Moderate Restrictions

100-180 days/year. Local government has added restrictions such as banning operations during certain periods (e.g., school days, weekdays) or in specific residential zones.

Strict Restrictions

60-100 days/year. Significant local restrictions. Common in areas with hotel industry lobbying or concerns about neighborhood disruption. May limit operations to weekends, holidays, or off-peak seasons only.

Very Strict

Under 60 days/year. The most restrictive municipalities effectively discourage minpaku. Kyoto, for example, limits operations to January 15 - March 16 only (~60 days). Consider a ryokan or hotel license instead.

Important: Minpaku regulations change frequently. Always verify current rules with the local municipal office before purchasing a property for short-term rental. A ryokan/hotel license (旅館業法) or special zone approval may offer better flexibility than the standard minpaku registration.
