Rechtlicher Rahmen

national

Japan uses three principal lawful short-stay routes

Three routes, not one licence.

Operators must generally select: Inns and Hotels Act permission, Special Zone Private Lodging authorization where available, or Private Lodging Business Act notification. Each route has distinct property, day-limit and local-law consequences.

national

Private Lodging Act: maximum 180 lodging days per dwelling/year

Yes, 180-day ceiling.

A notified dwelling may lodge guests for no more than 180 days in the statutory year. Local ordinances can further restrict periods or zones.

national

Notified Minpaku must qualify as housing

Yes.

The dwelling needs kitchen, bathroom, toilet and washstand and must meet a residence-use condition such as current principal residence, being offered to a new resident, or being available for owner/tenant residential use from time to time.

national

Registered manager required when absent or more than five lodging rooms

Generally yes when statutory trigger applies.

A Private Lodging Operator must entrust all statutory management duties to a registered Private Lodging Administrator when the operator is absent while guests stay or the notified dwelling exceeds five lodging rooms, subject to narrow statutory exceptions.

national

Guest registry, ID verification and foreign-passport controls

Required.

Host must verify identity, record name/address/occupation/lodging dates and preserve registry 3 years. Foreign guests without a Japanese address require nationality and passport number and official guidance requires keeping passport copy.

national

Private Lodging Act requires reporting every two months

Yes.

By Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct and Dec 15, operator reports prior two months lodging days, guest count, guest-nights and nationality breakdown. Local rules can add items, as Kyoto does.

national

Inns and Hotels Act route requires permission but has no Minpaku 180-day cap

Permission required.

Paid lodging business under the Inns and Hotels Act requires permission and must satisfy category-specific public-health, building, fire and local requirements. Unlike notified Minpaku, the national 180-day limit does not apply.

mixed

Special Zone Minpaku exists only in participating local systems

Local authorization required.

Special Zone Minpaku can permit residential-zone lodging without the Minpaku Act 180-day annual cap, but local authorization and minimum-stay requirements apply. Official national comparison states at least 2 nights/3 days under participating ordinances.
