We’ve been asked about this multiple times, especially by those who have heard us for the first time.

The answer is Yes and No.

Yes, similar in a way that KaguAruoo is a platform or an online marketplace that acts as a bridge to people who want lease out their fully furnished apartments and to those looking for a place to stay anywhere in Japan.

Also a No, because we provide long term leasing – our minimum stay is 7 days but this depends on the landlord if they wish to have a higher number of days for the minimum stay while on Airbnb, the hosts are only allowed to rent their apartment/property for 180 days in a year.  In addition, KaguAruoo has the cheapest fees.
