FAQ

1

Which Tokyo areas do you currently serve?

No Tokyo ward is currently published as universally available. We confirm the address, required work, cleaning, and onsite setup before advising eligibility for each property.

2

What property information is needed for a consultation?

Share the address, building type, current filing or license, and bylaw status. StayJP accepts properties that are ready to operate; if an application is still required, we can introduce a partner administrative scrivener.

3

Can I change the management company for an operating Tokyo minpaku?

We can assess a handover. We review the current contract, OTA account ownership and bookings, guest support, housekeeping, guest ledger, and settlement rules, then define a transition that limits operating gaps. Whether reviews can remain depends on account ownership and each platform's rules.

4

How are Tokyo Airbnb and minpaku management fees determined?

We match the owner's retained work and outsourced scope to a revenue-linked 10%, 15%, 20%, or 30%+ plan. OTA and payment fees, consumption tax, housekeeping, and supplies vary by plan, so we confirm the location and requested work before explaining the applicable scope.

Check Service Availability by Address

Share the address, building type, and current filing or license status so we can discuss area availability and a post-contract operating plan.
