Beyond being a personal retreat, an Akiya can also be a source of income. The rise of tourism in rural Japan has opened up new opportunities for property owners to generate revenue through short-term rentals and other hospitality models.

We'll discuss the viability of running an Airbnb, the regulations around short-term letting (minpaku), long-term rental prospects, and the concept of 'micro-hospitality'.
