She's an inspiration- love how she found places that have value and restoring them for the years to come and sharing them with others. Maybe I'll get the chance to do the same before too long.
Her business partner is. I'm not sure exactly what she did.
Thank you for the lovely comment! We both worked extremely hard on this project for a couple of years and we are so happy to be sharing it with our guests.
Great interview! Any chance Hilary would shed some light on cost of setting up the airbnb and operating income? Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm not really able to share the details of everything at the moment, though perhaps some day.
Shu thank you so much for that interview. Lots of great information. I also understand that hospitality aspect too. I work at a hotel in Hawaii. So keeping that relationship with people are key and fun to do. Putting a smile on someone’s face. Aloha.
Glad it was helpful!
Where in Japan would you start a short-term rental business like Hillary did?

Thank you both for the inspiration ❤ Having been to Japan my first time in 2013, I've been thinking about retirement in Japan in the near future!
Thank you for the kind words. I hope you are able to achieve your retirement dreams :)
Love to hear that!
Yeah, Ito is cool, a nice alternative to Atami, and definitely "Showa retro".
"Karaoke Snack" isn't particular to Ito; all of Japan was like that in the 80's.
There's some classic onsen in town as well.
Great interview! what you said really resonates with me. keep it coming man...
Love to hear that!
These interviews are great!
Love to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you very much for this 🙏 very insightful 😊❤🪙
Glad it was helpful!
Nice!
Thanks for watching!
ATAMI is pretty cool spot, was there last summer, but definitely quiet and cheap condos for sale
Very inspiring I hope I can make that kind of career for myself as well. I want to manage Japanese long term rentals, short term rentals, laundry mats and maybe rental cars.
You can do it!
I so want to do something like this. I love different cultures and believe that you should go there to experience and be respectful, such things should be promoted.
I would love to do this too.
You should go for it!
I’m curious from other listeners, does the music add or detract from the interview?
great video, hello from Canary Islands
Thanks for watching!
I’m headed to Japan and would like to meet you. I am going to be setting up VRBO / AirBnB businesses there too. I converted a yacht in the florida keys from charter to only VRBO and it was very successful. I have done this with all my florida west coast properties too. Would love to discuss with you how I streamlined the flow and the costs to really boost margins. I see a great deal of potential in Japan. Hope to hear from you, love your channel and your guidance. I have just sold my home here in Florida so it’s time for the next chapter.
Hi! I would have really liked to hear about the finance side of things but was disappointed that you only asked one question about how she financed it, then answered it for her. As a potential investor, it's all nice to hear how she acquired and developed the property with her thought process, but it is also even more important to know what kind of numbers she makes. It is a feasibility factor when accessing whether to buy or not. Thanks.
That would be information you can find out for yourself
That free guide has VERY little actual actionable information... Its mostly just a google info
I’m asking this question before watching the whole video. Is it true that Airbnb in japan is only allowed to rent 6 months out of the year and you need a hotel license for the remainder of the year?
Basically true but local rules vary.
yes its called minpaku system
As others mentioned there is a difference between Minpaku (6 months) and full hotel license, however is some areas the difference between the applications are requirements aren't too significant. Some houses and apartments do not allow any short term rental, some allow 6 months only, and others allow for the full year. So, if the house is in an area that allows for the full hotel license then you might be able to acquire it without too much more additional work than the Minpaku license. In our case, the requirements were very similar between the two licenses. As was also mentioned-- local rules can vary widely by prefecture. I hope that is useful information :)
@@hillaryhewins9462 thanks I ended up consuming the entire video. I don’t think insurance was covered. Im wondering about homeowners and liability insurance. My wife is Japanese and we plan on moving back in 4-5 years. Im thinking about starting a few airbnbs and short term rentals in the countryside. Cheers and may your business flourish.
Yes
how much she pay?
soon japan will have a lot of homeless people because someone keep increase the prices
That's what foreign love to do right since yen is so weak
Negative. These are all homes that Japanese people do not buy ! Trust me. The Japanese do not buy old homes. It’s not like the USA
well, Japan has a housing surplus so that doesn't really add up.
Sure, we can go somewhere else to see what the place looks like.
I love the vinyl collection, someone has great taste!
Thanks so much for this lovely comment! We had an absolute blast collecting all of the vinyl for the house.
People in Seattle California NYC have this think out of the box creativity. I am the same Hate following a cookie cutter format Be original creative Do your own thing.
AIRBNB IS A JOKE IS JAPAN, SO EXPENSIVE
To much nothing talking ...all fealings and emotional
