Vacation & House Rentals 民泊
‘Minpaku’ – a growth industry in Japan too
As with in other parts of the world, vacation rentals, known as minpaku, have grabbed a sizeable slice of the tourist accommodation industry, much to the chagrin of more traditional-style places.
Properties range from single private rooms to entire homes, from modern apartments in the heart of Tōkyō, to traditional machiya town houses in Kyōto, to farmhouses in the remote countryside.

House Rentals are another good option.
