Our story · Stays by Tabitime
No holiday should go to waste.
A trip to Japan takes saving up, time off and a long flight. We started Stays by Tabitime with one simple wish: that everyone who comes here goes home happy, with nothing they wish had gone differently.
Four things that spoil a trip, and what we do about each
- 01
Arriving unprepared
Visas, airport transfers, IC cards, what to pack for the month you're coming. A before-you-fly checklist, and online check-in done from home.

A place that didn't fit
Bathtub, washer, parking, how many beds, how far to the station: shown plainly on every home, so you can pick the one that fits how you travel.

Not knowing the place
Guides to each machi, the part of town you'll live in: its food, its pace, how to get around, and what's worth the detour.

During your stay
Why machi?
Where you stay shapes the trip.
Machi is what people in Japan call the part of town they live in. Each of ours has its own pace, food and way of getting around.
