Gross bookings per Shinjuku listing averaged ¥4,763,282 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Tokyo Prefecture average: ¥5,293,571), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Shinjuku listing brought in ¥975,000 in November, its best month, and ¥491,000 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 2.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ¥1,330,000+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ¥756,000 or more, roughly ¥310,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ¥442,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ¥280,000 or less, about two-thirds of the median.
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.

November 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in October 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Shinjuku Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Shinjuku Airbnb took in ¥4,763,282 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ¥269,000 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 ¥464,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ¥320,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ¥296,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ¥232,000 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 Shinjuku's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Shinjuku listings are booked on 83% or more of their nights, against 69% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ¥22,200 adds about ¥222,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ¥35,400 a night or more, against a median of ¥22,200. 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 ¥444,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. November brought the average listing about ¥975,000, against ¥491,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Shinjuku listings average 4.72 stars, and 25% 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 ¥679,000 a month, against ¥397,000 for the average one.
