Arrival guide

Everything between booking and check-out

A plain summary of the house rules and practical details from the Airbnb listing.

Check-in16:00–22:00
Check-out10:00

一Before you arrive

  • Send a photo ID for every guest through Airbnb messages by the day before check-in. Non-Japanese guests need to send the passport photo page, uncovered.
  • Tell the host your arrival time when you book. If it changes, let them know at least a day ahead.
  • Booking on the day? Send the IDs right after booking.
  • Minors who aren’t family members need a guardian’s ID. Minors can’t stay on their own.

二Checking in

  • Check-in is from 16:00 to 22:00 and fully self-service — follow the guide the host sends you on Airbnb.
  • Arriving after 22:00 is possible, but late messages may only be answered the next morning, from 8:00.
  • On holidays and busy weekends, cleaning can occasionally run past 16:00.

三During your stay

  • Please keep noise down, especially after 20:00. The building is on a residential street.
  • There is one towel per guest, and towels aren’t exchanged. The convenience store is a minute away for anything you run out of.
  • Wi-Fi is a fixed line shared by the building, so speed varies by time of day.
  • Unusually high electricity or water use is charged separately.
  • Rooms are for accommodation only: no parties, events, business use, pets or smoking.

四Checking out

  • Check-out is by 10:00.
  • There is no luggage storage after check-out — use the coin lockers at Tenmabashi Station.
  • Forgotten items are normally discarded, so check the room before you leave.
