Private Lodging Business (new Minpaku Act) / Inn & Hotel Business (simplified lodging) / Special-Zone Minpaku.
From local ordinances and fire-safety review to neighborhood notice — we handle every layer of opening a lodging operation.
We factor in each municipality's overlay ordinances to recommend the right permit type for the property and operation plan.
We handle change-of-use review, fire-protection classification, and pre-consultation with the fire department — preventing the "permitted but can't operate" trap.
Including the mandatory neighborhood notification for the Private Lodging Business and complaint-channel design. We design documents and operational flow with trouble prevention in mind.
We select the optimal permit or notification based on operating style, property, and locale.
Free eligibility check on first consultation.
