FAQ
How good is the AI?
See real examples on our What’s Included page.
What if I don’t trust AI?
AI only answers what it’s sure about. Anything uncertain or sensitive goes to our bilingual staff, so issues never escalate.
Do you guarantee revenue?
No. We price with local market data to maximize annual revenue, but can’t guarantee results. That’s why cancelling is easy.
How do I cancel?
Submit the cancellation form. Your contract ends at the end of the third month. No cancellation fees.
Can you manage properties outside Kyoto?
Yes. We cover all 47 prefectures, so properties outside Kyoto Prefecture are fine too.
