According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Japan Online Accommodation Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period (2025- 2033). Japanese digital platforms constitute the Japan Online Accommodation Market, where users search and compare, and finalize bookings for lodging facilities such as hotels and hostels and vacation rentals, and resorts throughout Japan. The market continues to grow because travelers increasingly use digital platforms, more visitors are coming into Japan, and people prefer to book accommodations from mobile devices. Travelers currently look for practicality together with an extensive selection of accommodations and immediate booking functionality that internet booking websites successfully deliver. Rolling demand becomes stronger due to tourism promotion by governments and modern mobile technology improvements in booking procedures.

A rise in hotel investment activity provided a boost to Japan's commercial real estate sector. In the second quarter, commercial real estate transaction value declined 25% year over year to 663 billion yen, according to CBRE. Despite the down quarter, hotel transactions accounted for approximately 40% of total commercial real estate transaction volume. Further, hotel sales in Japan increased by 49% year over year in the first half of 2024. Japan did not increase interest rates as most other developed nations did, which caused its currency, the yen fall to its lowest level since 1990. Therefore, Japan is on a high in terms of tourism due to the weakness of the yen, which has attracted increased numbers of international tourists.

Segments that transform the industry

Based on the Platform, the market is bifurcated into Mobile applications and websites. Among these, the Mobile Application segment is leading the market. Travelers increasingly choose on-the-go booking experiences as the main reason why Mobile Application drives the Japan Online Accommodation Market. Users are making increasing accommodation bookings through apps because they use smartphones prominently and have high mobile internet availability. Mobile applications provide users with immediate availability and custom suggestions, together with secure payment capabilities and loyalty platform access, which leads to an enhanced customer experience. Domestic and international Japanese travelers choose mobile platforms due to convenient features such as last-minute deals and in-app customer support, and location-based services that many applications provide.

According to the report, the Japan Online Accommodation market is highly concentrated within the Asia-Pacific region, with the most significant impact felt in East Asia, particularly in countries like Japan, China, and South Korea. Some of how this impact has been felt include:

A record 36.9 million international visitors came to Japan in 2024, up 47.1% year on year. The figure announced by the Japan National Tourism Organization is 5 million more than the previous record of 31.9 million set in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. The weak yen has proved to be a major incentive for many travelers to visit Japan. While in 2019, the exchange rate was around ¥110 to the US dollar, the yen has continued to weaken, going from ¥140 to ¥160 in 2024 and making Japan’s famous food, service, and other attractions a relative bargain. By country or region, the largest number of visitors came from South Korea, at 8.8 million (up 26.7%), followed by China at 7.0 million (up 187.9%), Taiwan at 6.0 million (up 43.8%), and the United States at 2.7 million (up 33.2%). The easing of travel restrictions supported the steep rise in the Chinese total, although this is still only just over 70% of the 9.6 million visitors from the country who came in 2019. The government has set targets of 60 million international visitors and visitor spending of ¥15 trillion in 2030. An increase in tourism would increase the Japan Online Accommodation market in the coming years.
