Gross bookings per Utsunomiya listing averaged ¥2,591,147 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Japan average: ¥4,522,153), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Utsunomiya listing brings in ¥468,000 in March, its best month, and ¥227,000 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: March leads November by 2%, and January sits just 1% below September, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 4.4 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.
March earns about twice what January does

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ¥338,000. 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 October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
August 2026 led on revenue and nightly rate; bookings peaked in May 2026. Across the past two years, March is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Utsunomiya Airbnb took in ¥2,591,147 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ¥147,000 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 ¥247,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ¥134,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ¥158,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ¥127,000 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.
