There’s good news for Airbnb hosts in Japan where the government has approved legislation that legalizes its service, and others like it, in the country.
The law, which was passed by Japan’s upper house on Friday, will allow home-owners in the nation to let out their property to paying guests for up to 180 days per year. They are subject to registering with local authorities who, in turn, have license to implement their own restrictions, Bloomberg reported.
