Japan schedules six-hour maintenance window for the official minpaku system

The official private-lodging system will be unavailable overnight from September 30 to October 1.

Japan's official private-lodging system will undergo scheduled maintenance from 10:00 p.m. on September 30 to 4:00 a.m. on October 1, 2026, Japan time.

Operators who need to access the system for time-sensitive tasks should complete them beforehand and avoid relying on the platform during the maintenance window.

This is an operational interruption, not a regulatory change.
