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 Karuizawa?
Yes. We cover all 47 prefectures, so locations outside Nagano are fine too.
How much revenue does a Karuizawa rental typically earn?
Based on Airbnb results in the Karuizawa area from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026, typical monthly revenue is about ¥340,000 for a 1K/studio, ¥530,000 for a 1LDK apartment and ¥740,000 for a detached house. Results vary by location, occupancy and season, so revenue is not guaranteed.
Which parts of Karuizawa do you cover?
We cover Karuizawa Town (Old Karuizawa, Naka-Karuizawa, Minami-Karuizawa), Miyota Town, Kitakaruizawa and all of Nagano Prefecture.
Can I run my own villa as a rental villa?
Yes. Rental villa management is built in as an option within our flat ¥30,000/month (excl. tax) villa management service. You can block the calendar for your own stays so no guests can book, then use the villa normally and rent it out only when it’s vacant. We also handle cleaning after your private stays, so it’s easier than regular villa ownership.
Can rental income cover villa management fees and property tax?
Yes. Income from renting your villa can go toward your monthly management fees, and also toward part of your villa’s upkeep costs such as property tax. Renting only when it’s vacant helps you keep the villa while easing the financial burden (income varies by location and occupancy, so no amount is guaranteed).
I haven’t filed a minpaku notification yet. Can I still sign up as a first-timer?
Yes. We don’t file the notification ourselves, but we work with partner specialists to support you, so first-time hosts can ask with confidence.
