Why it matters
The proposal is part of a trend among municipalities in Tokyo to tighten regulations on private holiday rentals. The ward has reported 3,775 minpaku facilities as of July this year, which has led to heavy workloads for public health offices.
Multiple cities, including Shinjuku, Kyoto, and Barcelona, are cracking down on private holiday rentals.
