About STAY JAPAN

Our accommodation booking service doesn't offer the usual lodging facilities such as hotels or ryokan inns. Instead, we allow travelers to place reservations with more unique places, such as apartments, condos, modern houses, and even traditional Japanese houses. You'll get a full Japan experience like a local.

Here at STAY JAPAN, our hosts have put a lot of care and attention into preparing the best possible rooms for their guests. Select the room that best fits your stay and enjoy a relaxing vacation at a reasonable price!

Currently we only offer support for 4 languages: Japanese,Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English. Going forward, we plan to add support for more languages.

Excluding affiliated companies that have signed a confidentiality agreement with us, STAY JAPAN and parent company Hyakusenrenma Inc. will not disclose personal information for any reason other than its intended purpose without the express consent of our users.

At STAY JAPAN, most of our rooms are personal residences. We therefore use a reservation request system. First a notification is sent to the host to request use of their space. The host must then approve the reservation. (Your credit card will only be charged once the reservation is approved.) Please note that for some rooms, reservations may be approved immediately. Please refer to "What is Instant Book?" for more details.
