Empty homes deservethe value of travel.
Tabitime K.K. is a specialist team that revives idle real estate — vacant homes, machiya, and apartments — into accommodation chosen by domestic and international travelers. We handle design, construction, marketing, and operations under one roof. Over 150 owners trust us with stable yields. Kansai's leading minpaku operator.
Run by data and technology, not gut feel.
Tabitime combines continuous AI monitoring of market data with multi-format operating expertise across vacation rentals, hotels, and ryokan to deliver the optimal balance of ADR and occupancy to every owner. A new era of accommodation operations, a clear break from traditional manual management.
Read the market
with AI, always.
We recalculate 60+ signals — demand, weather, nearby events — every 30 minutes to find the optimal balance of ADR and occupancy.
Not just
vacation rentals.
We have a cross-domain track record spanning vacation rentals, hotels, ryokan, kominka, and even mid-to-long-stay apartments.
Design & renovation,
all in-house.
Working with partner registered architects and our in-house design team, we manage renovation, development, compliance clearance, and long-term maintenance end to end.
Support for the core
of investment decisions.
From acquisition diagnostics and yield projections to legal, tax, and financing, we offer the best solution for every bottleneck in the investment process.
For international guests too — travel that is safe, secure, delightful.
Hospitality is more than human warmth. Zero language barrier, zero arrival anxiety, zero late-night trouble — only once technology sets the basics right does true hospitality become possible. Tabitime designs the international guest experience with the obsessive attention to detail of an internet company in the social media age.
24h AI concierge
An AI concierge in 4 languages (JA / EN / CN / KR). Late-night issues, sightseeing questions, and hospitality — answered without keeping guests waiting.
Dedicated guest portal
Every booking gets its own URL. Check-in steps, property info, local sightseeing, cultural etiquette — everything you need for your stay, on one screen.
Online check-in
Photo and passport verification collected online before arrival, with guest registers stored digitally. Smart locks sync with bookings for smooth entry and exit. Operated in compliance with the Minpaku Act, SEZ minpaku rules, and the Hotel Business Act.
Deeply local guidance
Not guidebook tourist spots — shops, bathhouses, and artisan workshops handpicked by local staff. Cultural etiquette guides included, all created originally by Tabitime.
24h emergency support
Emergencies AI can't resolve — medical issues, lost items, equipment failure — escalate instantly to Japanese staff based in Osaka and Kyoto. Local staff are ready to be on-site quickly.
Hotel-grade housekeeping
Minpaku, run like a hotel. We apply hotel-grade hygiene and cleaning workflows to every property, standardizing quality across the portfolio.
“The AI concierge answered me in English within 30 seconds at 2 a.m. The un-touristy neighborhood was the best part too.”
“Perfect. Check-in took 30 seconds with facial recognition. The room was better than the photos. I'll definitely stay again.”
“The 24-hour chat replied so fast it surprised me. The floor heating was perfect too — cozy even on a cold night.”
“The staff's neighborhood recs — a local sento and a tiny izakaya — were spot on. The room itself was hotel-clean and full of small touches.”
“Bigger and cleaner than the photos suggested. The AI explained every appliance in our language. We're already planning the next stay.”
Operated lawfully and compliantly. Connected with leading partners.
The moment an empty home is
reborn as a place worth staying.
From rural kominka to city apartments, every property Tabitime takes on is reborn as a “stay with a story” — blending the character and culture of its location with the owner's vision, then evolving from there.

Since the day we founded the company in 2019, we have accumulated every booking, cleaning, inquiry, and maintenance record as structured data. Seven years of operating knowledge supports more than 700 rooms' worth of daily decisions through our in-house AI layer.
So that humans can focus on what only humans should decide — AI supports dynamic pricing, predictive maintenance, and concierge drafting with AI. We continuously lift RevPAR, sharply cut response times, and reduce complaints.
Dynamic Pricing
Demand, weather, nearby events, and OTA history recalculated every 30 minutes to keep improving RevPAR.
Concierge LLM
AI drafts replies to 4-language inquiries under human review, sharply cutting response times.
Predictive Maintenance
IoT sensors plus history detect failures early, greatly reducing complaints.

Where we began.Our Origin
In 2019, it all started with a single vacant home in Osaka. Seven years on, we have revived 200+ buildings and over 700 rooms, welcoming guests from around the world.
At the intersection of the vacant-home problem and accommodation operations, we have evolved TabiTime with the power of technology.
