Airbnb vs. Hotels in Japan, Why we QUIT One and Switched to the Other

We used to be big fans of Airbnb. In fact, we stayed in them for about a year straight. But after a while we noticed that the quality of service was going down and both the service fees and cleaning fees were rising. Here are the main reasons why in Japan, we now prefer hotels rather than Airbnb. We appreciate when you book through our Expedia affiliate link: https://expedia.com/affiliate/xVQ9hEf
