Writer's picture: David LakeDavid Lake




A traditional Japanese-style Airbnb can captivate international guests seeking an authentic cultural experience. Offering tatami rooms, futons, and historical architecture creates a unique selling point that appeals to travelers.


Why Guests Love Traditional Accommodations


  1. Cultural Immersion: Many tourists want to experience Japanese traditions, such as sleeping on futons or staying in a home with shoji sliding doors.

  2. Aesthetic Appeal: Traditional homes often feature minimalist designs, natural materials, and a serene ambiance that attract guests looking for tranquility.

  3. Unique Experiences: Staying in a property with a history or authentic architectural elements, such as wooden beams or engawa verandas, offers a memorable experience.


Tips for Hosting a Traditional Airbnb


  • Maintain Authentic Features: Preserve elements like tatami mats and wooden fixtures to maintain the home’s charm.

  • Modern Comforts: Blend tradition with modern amenities like Wi-Fi and heating to attract a wider audience.

  • Highlight Heritage: Share the property’s history or regional significance in your Airbnb listing.
