Profit
Is an Airbnb in Amami Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Amami Airbnb took in ¥2,919,773 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ¥170,000 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 ¥305,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ¥140,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ¥181,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ¥146,000 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 Amami's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Amami listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ¥21,700 adds about ¥217,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ¥32,500 a night or more, against a median of ¥21,700. 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 ¥278,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about ¥594,000, against ¥198,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Amami listings average 4.82 stars, and 39% 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 ¥433,000 a month, against ¥243,000 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Amami?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Amami Airbnb grossed ¥2,919,773 in the 12 months to October 2026, 10% above the Kagoshima Prefecture average of ¥2,647,528.
