Gross bookings per Chiba listing averaged ¥2,032,741 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Chiba Prefecture average: ¥3,732,661), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Chiba listing brings in ¥229,000 in August, its best month, and ¥161,000 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 27% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.
August earns about 1.4 times what February does
Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ¥195,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
May 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in November 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, August is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Chiba Airbnb took in ¥2,032,741 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ¥110,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about ¥211,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ¥172,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ¥125,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ¥95,000 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ¥16,000. The 12-month ADR of ¥17,150 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Chiba it averaged ¥6,540 over the past year, from about ¥5,560 in a typical January to about ¥7,380 in a typical August.
