Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kure Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kure Airbnb took in ¥1,710,719 in the 12 months to May 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ¥98,000 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 ¥188,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ¥118,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ¥108,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ¥85,000 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.

How Kure's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kure listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ¥20,000 adds about ¥200,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ¥41,200 a night or more, against a median of ¥20,000. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about ¥159,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about ¥400,000, against ¥127,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kure listings average 4.64 stars, and 15% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about ¥271,000 a month, against ¥143,000 for the average one.
