Airbnb Inc. is finally getting the green light to do business in Japan after years of operating in gray areas of the law.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Cabinet approved rules on Friday limiting home-sharing by private citizens to 180 days a year, according to the final draft of the legislation. The bill, which also leaves room for local authorities to impose their own restrictions, is now submitted for deliberation and approval by the Diet.

I hope this will allow singles and small families to earn a bit while helping travellers to find accommodation. I just don& like the people who rent houses and then sublet them over AirBnB. These people let residents trash the neighborhood, and also do not take part in the neighborhood activites like cleaning roadways, managing the trash station, and fire safety checks. If they want to sub let accommodation, they should register businesses and pay taxes too.
