What problems should I pay attention to when investing in homestays in Japan?

Recently, more and more domestic customers have asked about Japanese B&B, and people still don't understand the new bill of Japanese B&B. Because it is an investment of hundreds of millions of yen, it is very necessary to know the relevant regulations of Japanese B&B in advance.

According to the statistics released by the Tourism Department of Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on February 27th, 200017, 7.35 million foreign tourists stayed in June of 200017, an increase of 23.5% compared with the same month of 20 16.

The goal of the Japanese government is to make the number of Japanese tourists reach 40 million before the Tokyo Olympic Games. Therefore, in order to popularize sound homestay services and solve the problem of insufficient accommodation facilities, the Cabinet meeting in March 20 17 decided the Law on Housing and Accommodation, which stipulated the operating standards for renting vacant rooms in ordinary houses and apartments to tourists' homestays.

The biggest change of the new bill is to open homestays nationwide and lift the ban on areas outside the national strategic special zones such as Daejeon and Osaka Prefecture in Tokyo. So don't worry about consulting guests who want to stay in Hokkaido before. Even if it is impossible to set up a simple accommodation in a residential area, you can run a homestay.

The new law stipulates that landlords who operate homestays must report to local governments such as prefectures and counties, and the upper limit of business days is 180 days, which means that each homestay can only operate legally for half a year.

For homestays that may cause the deterioration of the surrounding living environment, they can be shortened according to local laws and regulations formulated by local governments, but in principle, they are not allowed to be shortened to 0 days, which actually excludes the operation of homestays.

In addition, the adoption of the new bill stipulates that landlords have the obligations of filing with prefectures, health management, complaint handling and so on. To improve the situation that many homestays without business licenses cause troubles and disputes to surrounding residents.

When the landlord lives in a different place or the number of homestays stipulated by the government exceeds a certain number, the new bill requires the landlord to designate a hosting company for the homestay facilities, and only one hosting company can be entrusted. (Companies operating B&B custody need to register with the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and the registration fee is 90,000 yen, which is updated every five years. ), the hosting company and the landlord have the same obligation. The advantage of entrusting a hosting company is that the landlord can be exempted from the following obligations, which are transferred to the hosting company.

The new law also stipulates penalties for violating the new law. For those who violate the provisions of the new law, there will be provisions for certification inspection and punishment. If the landlord falsely files a record and refuses to accept the order to suspend business, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 6 months or a fine of not more than 6,543.8+0,000 yen.

Personal recommendation

It is best for the company to operate the special zone B&B 180 days or apply for a simple hotel qualification. For residential B&Bs, the reasonable calculation is March tourist season 180 days, April 165438+ 10 months, plus domestic holidays. The key to operating a hotel is whether it has its own characteristics, staffing, hotel management, sanitary waste sorting and cleaning.

The hotel in Japan in the future is an opportunity to remind everyone to pay attention to the management rules of the object and avoid blind investment.
