FAQ
01
Q
Is it possible to operate vacation rentals in any area?
A
Vacation rental operation days may be restricted by local
ordinances depending on the property location.
Please provide the property address, and we will verify and provide an answer.
Q
Can any type of residence be used for vacation rentals?
A
Generally, it is possible to operate vacation rentals. There are specific facility requirements for interior properties. Please consult with us for further details.
Q
I heard there is a "180-day annual operation limit" for vacation
rentals.
Can it still be profitable?
A
Yes, it is possible to generate profits. Most of our
managed vacation rental properties operate within the 180-day limit and still generate profits.
Particularly in the Hokkaido market, it is possible to secure the owner's profit within this
timeframe.
Q
I've heard that vacation rentals can operate 365 days a year. How is that possible?
A
This is not through a vacation rental notification but
through obtaining a "Hotel Business License".
With a license, there are no restrictions on the number of operation days. We have obtained such
licenses for several properties.
We can handle all the necessary procedures for 365-day operation, including license acquisition.
Q
With hotels increasing, can vacation rentals really be profitable?
A
Yes, it is possible to generate profits. However, specific conditions need to be met for long-term profitability. Please consult us to determine feasibility.
Q
Why are there so many vacation rental properties in Sapporo city?
A
This is due to the specific market conditions in Sapporo.
The relatively low rent in Sapporo makes it more profitable for property owners to operate
vacation rentals rather than traditional rentals.
Additionally, the entire Hokkaido region, including Sapporo, is experiencing an increase in
inbound tourism, making the hospitality industry,
including vacation rentals, vibrant.
Q
What do you think will happen to the vacation rental industry in the future?
A
The competition in the entire accommodation industry will
intensify. Properties that cannot provide high-quality facilities will be eliminated.
While there was a time when any property would get bookings, the situation has drastically
changed.
To maintain high profitability, we need to constantly pursue competitive facilities and adapt to
ongoing changes.
