Toru

Co-host in Hakone, Ashigarashimo District, Japan

I speak English and Japanese.

Listing setup
As a sales coach on the side, I will help you appeal to the owner's feelings and the charm of the facility.
Setting prices and availability
We will communicate with the owner to set pricing and booking availability periods that will lead to repeat guests.
Onsite guest support
We'll communicate in English to help you get great reviews from overseas guests. (Phone, Email)
Licensing and hosting permits
The Odawara Health Office, which is responsible for the Hiratsuka, Odawara, Yugawara, and Hakone areas, requires a lot of detailed information for their application, so we're here to help.
Additional services
The first step to getting a hotel business license is to submit an application for firefighting equipment. In particular, fire department applications in the Hakone area are quite difficult, and some fire equipment companies can't handle the response and run away. We will connect you to a company that can definitely get permission.

Very responsive host. The apartment is well located, easy to reach via bus, cozy for a couple. We loved to eat at “the gyoza center” which was 5 min away by car or 20 by feet!
