QUOTE(JooSeng @ Dec 9 2015, 10:25 AM) not sure what Iiyama and Niigata has to offer, but distance wise or travelling time from tokyo is almost half day. better split to one day. Iiyama is 1 hour 50 mins from Tokyo, and is only 10 mins away from Nozawa Onsen ski resort. No point going there for a day trip though, better to get a rail pass and go from Tokyo to Iiyama, then to Kanazawa and back. |

QUOTE(+h0m@s.. @ Dec 10 2015, 11:59 AM) guys anybody have any recommendation on where should I stay in Kyoto? will be going in April and most of the hotels are fully booked. Either be prepared to fork out 30,000 yen per night or stay in Osaka. Even Airbnb is expensive because everyone jacks up the price. |

Many AirBnB hosts are cancelling because they do not have the hotel license, which makes it illegal for them to rent out rooms to guests, except for hosts in Ota Ward in Tokyo, and even then it is limited to guests staying 6 nights and above.
Best option now is to look at accomodation in Osaka or Nara, Kyoto is just fully booked over that period. This post has been edited by lowyatter: Mar 1 2016, 02:13 PM |

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Mar 1 2016, 02:54 PM) From what I have read, home rental is exempted from hotel business law so they don't require license. With the latest announcement, no clear guideline is out yet except by Ota, so am wondering whether these hosts are jumping the gun? Without hotel license, you are limited to minimum 1 month rental, or 6 nights if your property is in Ota-ku.Since most Airbnb customers are renting for 1-5 nights, it means that most of the lodgings are illegal. |

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Mar 1 2016, 03:10 PM) illegal if they are located in Ota. At other places with no clear regulation, cannot consider illegal. It is best for them to at least issue a clear cut date. True, illegal in Ota and in limbo in other places until the regulation is enforced. Messy situation now. |
