Rules every host should know
In Japan, short-term lodging operates under the Minpaku law (up to 180 days a year), the Ryokan Business Act (year-round) or a special-zone licence. A clean, well-managed property helps protect your licence and your neighbours' goodwill. We work during standard daytime hours and follow your building's noise and rubbish rules.
How a turnover runs
After check-out, the cleaner strips the beds, cleans the bathroom and kitchen, vacuums, remakes the beds, restocks the amenities and checks the room against your list. Please let us know how you would like to receive confirmation, for example by LINE message or photos.
Why guest-ready standards are different
A short-stay guest judges a listing within minutes of arriving, and reviews tend to mention cleanliness more than any other factor. A turnover clean is therefore not a home clean: it is a reset to a fixed standard. Bed linen is changed or made to your layout, the bathroom and washroom are sanitised, amenities are replenished, the floors are cleaned, and the room is checked for anything left behind or damaged. Consistency matters more than depth, because every arrival should feel the same.
How we plan around check-out and check-in
Turnover windows are short, often a few hours between check-out and the next check-in, and cleaning in Japan is limited to daytime hours, generally between 9:00 and 17:00 in our bookings. You tell us the check-out and check-in times, or share a calendar, and we schedule the visit between them. One cleaner and a supervisor attend up to 1LDK and two cleaners and a supervisor from 2LDK, and we plan the visit to fit between your check-out and check-in. We confirm by message when the room is finished, and report any damage or missing items so you can respond before the next guest.
No minimum, and prices
There is no minimum number of cleanings: book a single turnover or a recurring calendar. On the first turnover we walk through the property with you and agree the checklist once, then follow your booking calendar. Prices are per cleaning and by room size: 1R/1K ¥26,000, 1DK ¥28,600, 1LDK ¥32,500, 2LDK ¥52,000, 3LDK ¥59,800 and 4LDK ¥65,000, tax and 23-ward travel included. Please check local minpaku rules and your registration or notification requirements, which are the host's responsibility. We are glad to talk through scheduling for several rooms in one building.
