Frequently asked questions
Which plans are currently onboarding new units?
Service availability varies by region and property type. Current coverage areas prioritize certain plans, with other options expanding gradually based on supply and operational capacity development.
Do management fees include cleaning, OTA commissions, or payment fees?
It depends on the plan. On the 15% and 20% plans, cleaning and basic consumables are pass-through costs billed separately. On the 30% Full plan, StayJP bears cleaning and basic consumables (OTA fees, payment processing and taxes remain separate on every plan).
What happens if my unit is outside the current coverage area?
We treat it as a waitlist submission, document your pipeline, and notify you once we can open that ward. There is no guaranteed timeline.
Do you guarantee occupancy, ratings, or revenue?
No. We commit to transparent reporting, compliance support, and risk mitigation—not outcome guarantees.
Can I skip the compliance review if I already operate elsewhere?
Every application goes through the same documentation and cleaning capacity review regardless of prior experience.
How does performance-based pricing differ from fixed monthly fees?
Fixed monthly plans charge the same amount regardless of occupancy. StayJP's performance-based model tracks accommodation revenue, so low-season costs stay lower and the manager shares your incentive to grow revenue. Which model fits better depends on your property's expected occupancy.
What do minpaku management services typically cost?
Industry rates are typically 15-25% of revenue for performance-based plans, or about ¥30,000-¥60,000/month fixed. StayJP charges 10%-30% of revenue with no setup or fixed monthly fees (cleaning and consumables billed at cost).
What are the contract term and termination conditions?
The standard contract term is 12 months. You can terminate with one month's written notice, with no penalty. We also support handover of OTA accounts and guest registries when migrating.
One form for coverage-ready units, one for future pods
Neither option auto-approves. A human reviews documents and replies with realistic next steps.
Submitting either form does not guarantee onboarding or coverage timing.
We only escalate to contract stage after verifying licenses, cleaning capacity, and financial disclosures.
