Tokyo also bans Airbnb, period. Something most people here don’t understand.

Japan (including Tokyo) legalized short-term rentals (minpaku) in 2018. However, there are reasonably toothy licensing requirements and you're capped at 180 days per year.

So Airbnb is facilitating illegal renting of properties?

Why wouldn't the government crack down on this?

Sorry as the poster above has said they’ve been legal since 2018. I had inaccurate out of date information.
