What are the main categories of B Bs in Japan, and what are the types of B Bs?

Investing in accommodation facilities in Japan can be broadly divided into two categories: homestays, hotels, and inns.

1.Invest in a Japanese minshuku.

After the enactment of the Residential Lodging Business Act (the new Minshuku Law) on June 15, 2018, the regulation of lodging houses in Japan has become stricter. To operate a homestay, you need to apply for a homestay qualification, and you are only allowed to operate for 180 days a year. This has caused a lot of homeowners to take a critical hit.

"Only 180 days of operation" does not mean that you can actually do so many days, that is, the actual number of operating days will only be less. In addition, due to problems such as hygiene and noise, many condominium management portfolios in Japan do not allow the opening of a guesthouse.

2.Invest in a Japanese hotel hostel.

At present, many Japanese hotel investors will choose the form of acquisition, that is, buy a Japanese hotel with hotel qualifications and are in operation. As a popular business project, the hotel has low business risk and meets the requirements for business management visa application. However, the initial investment amount for a Japanese hotel ryokan is generally larger.

3.Invest in a Japanese bungalow.

Japanese inns have gradually begun to attract the attention of investors, mainly after the management of Japanese guesthouses became stricter. Japanese minshuku cannot operate all year round, but if you renovate the property you have invested in, you can apply for a simple inn license (but not a guesthouse license). In this way, not only can it be legally operated in Japan, but it can also be operated all year round without worries.

On the premise of ensuring a level of hygiene, the licensing criteria for bungalows have been relaxed to a certain extent.

If you want to keep your initial investment down, a Japanese inn may be the best option. If the bungalow is located in an area with high demand for housing, it is not uncommon to generate 2-3 times the income compared to the apartment investment. However, it is also important to note that unlike long-term rental properties, investing in a bungalow requires the purchase of necessary furniture and equipment such as beds, sofas, and TVs.

Japanese B&Bs are mainly divided into two categories: pension and stay home on farm, and the biggest difference between Western-style B&B and farm B&B is the identity of the operator and the price

1. Identity of the operator:

Western-style businesses are all white-collar workers with a skill in the private sector to invest in the industry, and adopt year-round professional operations, while farmhouse homestays have five forms: public, farmer-operated, farmers' cooperatives (farmers' associations) operated, quasi-public and third-sector (public and private joint ventures) operated, and there are professional operations in the main business, as well as sideline and part-time operations, but the main selling point is the provision of local characteristics and experience projects.

2. The price is different

Western-style B&Bs adopt the metropolitan hotel system (one night, two meals) as the charging unit.

1. General homestays.

This type of homestay is mainly a homestay, that is, a traditional homestay, which is characterized by being primitive, simple and authentic. The original is to preserve the original state of the building intact; Simplicity means that the appearance and interior of the B&B are not changed or less, and the original appearance of the house is shown to tourists; Authenticity means to faithfully display the architectural style and characteristics, and truthfully show the original state of life.

2. Boutique B&B.

Boutique B&B is mainly embodied in the word "fine". Different from ordinary B&Bs, on the basis of retaining the appearance characteristics of the original building, the interior decoration will be greatly adjusted, reflecting a state of "gold and silver".

First, the design is refined, and it is designed according to the needs of modern people's life.

The second is the use of fine materials, in the selection of materials and materials to pay attention to high-end.

The third is the characteristics of fine, reflecting the local customs, there is a cultural heritage. The beauty, comfort, and enjoyment of this kind of homestay are even better than those of high-star hotels.

3. Trendy B&B.

The author classifies the ancient villages and towns that have been restored and rebuilt according to the construction of exotic and famous villages and towns, and the homestays with clear theme and main line as trendy homestays.

First, it has cultural differences, where you can appreciate and experience the customs and customs of different places and foreign countries;

Second, it has systematic and cultural integrity, and can fully appreciate the structural system, architectural style and cultural customs of villages and towns. This kind of homestay is often the target of young people chasing trends.

Serviced B&B.

1. Single service type refers to only providing accommodation services, and this kind of homestay is generally close to large scenic spots, tourism comprehensive functional areas and cities, because the regional tourism functions are relatively complete, and services other than accommodation can be easily solved.

2. Comprehensive service type refers to other service needs that can be met in addition to accommodation, such as catering. Some B&Bs themselves are tourist attraction, in addition to solving the problem of food and accommodation, they also have functions such as sightseeing, leisure and health.

1. Art experience homestay: The operator will lead tourists to experience various artwork production activities, including pottery, carving, painting, clogs, jelly candles, sky lantern making, etc., tourists can create artworks by themselves and experience rural or modern art and cultural feasts.

2. Retro business B&B: The accommodation environment is renovated by ancient houses, or the style of ancient buildings is used as the design blueprint to provide tourists with a deep nostalgic experience.

3. Scenic resort homestay: It is a combination of natural landscapes or carefully planned artificial landscaping, such as the night scene of thousands of lights, the starry sky, the garden landscape, the grassland flower sea or the mountain sea, etc.

4. Rural experience homestay: In the traditional agricultural villages, in addition to the rural landscape to provide experience of farm life, and provide experience activities in agricultural production.

The current status of the B&B

With the gradual popularity of B&B, the business opportunities created by B&B are too attractive, and the business model that was originally defined as a family sideline business has gradually changed to a family main business model, and even real estate investors, neo-immigrants, etc.;

In the case of many competitors, the demand for quality, service and efficiency of the management competitiveness of the operation and management is slowly emerging, and the business of the homestay is very large, and because of this, it has slowly contributed to the evolution of Taiwan's homestay in the direction of refinement, luxury, professionalization and high service.

Precautions for staying at a homestay:

1. Pay attention to the interior and surrounding environment of the house.

Many houses tend to be beautifully photographed and warm, but the surrounding environment is often sad. Some ** looked like there was a lot of space in the past, but the actual space for staying was very small.

Houses in each city have different architectural features. Different housing structures create different living environments. Before moving in, if the homeowner doesn't show enough, you can ask to upload more of the surrounding environment**, or the street view around your house, in case of a sense of loss during the stay.

2. Pay attention to what the homeowner provides.

Many homeowners will indicate the amenities available in their homes. Because B&Bs do not provide towels, toothbrushes and other necessities like hotels, you must read them clearly before check-in, so that you know whether you need to carry daily necessities with you, and you don't have to consult the owner for such questions, saving time and efficiency for both parties.

3. Pay attention to **, **, check-in, unsubscribe and other information.

Unlike hotels, which have a 24-hour front desk, many owners have their own jobs, so the length of stay depends on the negotiation between the two of you.

In addition, the size of the house determines the number of people to occupy, so be sure to tell the owner of the house how many people you want to move in before moving in. If the number of people is exceeded, it will be necessary to see if an extra bed is available in the house, although there may be an additional charge for an extra bed. Therefore, it is best to ask clearly.

4. If time permits, communicate with the landlord.

Many landlords set up a password lock, when placing an order on the short-term rental platform, the landlord will give the check-in password, generally speaking, from the check-in to the end of the check-in will not meet the landlord himself, but you can communicate with the landlord in the middle, for example, ** or the Internet. So, don't be afraid to choose a shared home with your landlord, as it will give you more time and space to communicate with your host and get more travel experiences and advice.

I checked the Japanese wikipedia, and the difference between these two words is very ambiguous.

B&Bs are privately run hotels that are small in scale. I have a free house in my house and lend it to tourists for a few days. Formerly the landlord lived in a large yard.

Later, in consideration of hygiene, the landlord now lives elsewhere, and the tenant is in a separate building.

Hotels mostly refer to regular Japanese-style hotels, with pick-up attendants, which are more formal. The business scale is large, and it can accommodate large groups of people.
