How Verify works
What the check does
From a listing’s registration box to the official list
Japanese listings show a home-sharing number (M and nine digits) or a hotel and inn licence with its issuing office. Verify compares it with the list that office publishes.
Search the published lists
Verify checks the permit lists published by the prefectures, cities and public health offices we cover.
Compare the record
The result shows the listed name, permit type, issuing office, address and the date of the list it came from.
Two answers stay separate. The official list tells you whether a permit appears on it and when the list was published. The listing match tells you whether the details you gave point to that same business.
Data source
Lists published by Japanese authorities
Verify reads the permit lists that Japanese prefectures, cities and public health offices publish. Each result names its issuing office, the list date and the credit the source asks for.
Common questions
Checking an Airbnb registration in Japan
How do I check an Airbnb registration number in Japan?
Copy the whole registration box from the Airbnb listing and paste it into the form above. Verify looks the number up on the list published by the office that issued it, and shows the record and the list date.
What if the listing shows no permit number?
Some offices publish their lists without permit numbers. Paste the registration box as the listing shows it, add the stay’s name and address, and Verify compares those with the list instead.
Does being on the list prove a stay is legal?
A record on the list shows the business held that permit on the list date. Compare the name and address with the place you plan to book. A list can’t confirm every operating rule or the stay’s current condition.
What if the stay is not on the list?
Not being on a list doesn’t show that a stay is unlicensed. Lists are updated on their own schedules, and we don’t cover every office yet. Check that the number was copied exactly, then ask the host or the issuing office.
