Your friends should give back that 12k Yen. Shame on your friend.
Japanese won't steal anything even is very expensive thing. Their moral level was very high and well educated since pre-school. They been teach found anything not belong must return to lost and found section.

Japan notes biggest ae 10000 Yen only.

Refer to Page 1

1st time to Japan?
If Yes then forget about Tokyo.

Just enjoy the Kyoto , Osaka , Nara , Kobe in 10 days.
Actually 10 days also not enough.
No need waste money going Tokyo.

Cheapest food can found was starting 350 Yen.
Refer to Page 1 for Sukiya Info.
Or others cheapest food are Yoshinoya.

Normal food such as Curry Rice or Ramen starting 1000 - 2000 Yen

Sushi starting 2000 - 5000 Yen

Luxury food such Kobe beef or Michelin star restaurant are stating 12000 - 40000 Yen

Similar on house design only but landscape are totally different. Gokayama are more peaceful. Then follow up Ainokura , Suganuma

Centrair only connected by Meitetsu only. Spring Equinox holiday won't making any congestion. If reserve seat coach are full then goes non reserve seat coach.

Done alot of times. Bridge only half way, then will goes underground. Bridge was boring like normal driving.

View at Umihotaru are good, watching ship crusine and best view are watching aircraft landing at Haneda.

This is not the place for discuss hotel booking or Airbnd.

I already report to Mod. All topic will moved to Airbnd Section.
Please Continue from there.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3268551

Too much. Entire Page 61.
It may not be removed as guide telling people Airbnb are not accept in Japan anymore. But futher discussion should not continue. This airbnb issue already discuss 1 month ago. It have enough info telling people stop using airbnb at Japan.

If I not stop it , it will goes 62 63 64 and more... Today M4A1 come , tomorrow another come , it will keep coming same reason. Then lost control like old currency disaster. Everyday full of people come asking same again.

Removed or stay depend on Mod hands now.

Can be done. Since you not interest on Takayama street part.
There are some Takayama street picture at Page 1 for refer.

Really a waste if no enjoy Takayama slowly.

Japan having 2 law.
One is Hotel-Ryokan Law which is controlled by Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Hotels and ryokans, even hostels are required to pass requirements for sanitary and particularly emergency evacuation such fires, earth quakes and etc. Facilities are inspected with government officers periodically.

Another law is for apartments and the real-estate leasing, controlled by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Even though the facility is a furnished apartment, it is unable to provide amenities. Tenants should be aware of the risk of uncertain situation. Learn about the emergency exit, the emergency shelter and the specified open place to evacuate. (Earthquake)

Apartment leasing with furnished has been limited with weekly or monthly agreement. [[2nd Law]] Airbnb apartments are showing over night rates like hotels. [[1st law]]

Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare & Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism having big fight. Prime Minister Abe still no give his final answer. Either ban it or fit it under which law

If Airbnb put into 1st Law....Host of Airbnb at Japan must upgrade thier house into Hotel Standard, must earthquake proof , fire proof , must have alot emergency evacuation. Every week periodically inspection by govt. This will cause host million of Yen. Alot Airbnb host will choose tutup kedai~~~

If Airbnb put into 2nd Law.....You need go through Apartment leasing with furnished agreement. Like a landlord rental a properties to you. You need pay deposit of 2 month rental , even you just stay 1 week. Sign paperwork at lawyer firm which saying you are rental this property. This also cause airbnb host tutup kedai.

Or Abe genius come out with 3rd law
