Yuichi
Co-host in Nikko, Japan
I was a host in Imaichi, Nikko City, for several years while guiding Toshogu Shrine.I stopped hosting due to changes in my circumstances, but I still connect with travelers a little as a co-host.I hope that the real-world information I've experienced as a host will help those who want to become hosts in the future.
I speak English and Japanese.

Listing setup
We want to make your listing more accurate and make it easier for travelers to choose from.I try to avoid problems with travelers and hosts on the day by writing down negative points.
Booking request management
Managing Instant Book isn't something you do.When a request comes, we'll send you a message between the host and the traveler.
Guest messaging
You'll be able to accommodate messages up to the day before.Due to my work, I may not be able to respond right away, so I ask the host on that day.
