Hi All,


Anyone tried air bnb in Tokyo? I am looking for one very close to subway (preferably near Tokyo station as this will be the station we plan to use most to move from Narita/Karuizawa/Tokyo/Hotel near Disneyland). If not Shinjuku, I just worry we will have problem navigating…

First timer, I tried browsing thru the app but from the way most hosts describe as near, looking at the map, they really don’t… so need expert advice which ones I should consider? Thanks a lot.

There were some discussions that air bnb are illegal in Japan and are being clamped down.

i would say, the best is to ask the host for the apartment`s postal code, then u can google to see if its near from the station.

pardon me, but why do you need to get airbnb? do u have a large group going with you?

Thanks for sharing. Not sure about this but when some colleagues shared its still business as usual.

Any recommendations for a reasonable priced hotels near subway?

Any recommendations for a reasonable priced hotels near subway?[/quote]Bloomberg article FYI. If you book something from someone who is not allowed to rent the place to us in the first place, then if something goes wrong, you have no legal recourse and you are not protected. But I suppose if everything goes well, then no problem. So really up to you. Enjoy your vacation.
