How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Wakayama?
Gross bookings per Wakayama listing averaged ¥1,594,688 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Wakayama Prefecture average: ¥2,260,684), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Wakayama listing brings in ¥248,000 in August, its best month, and ¥125,000 in February, its slowest. January runs within 5% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 four times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ¥397,000+ a month, about four times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ¥205,000 or more, roughly ¥110,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ¥97,300 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ¥50,900 or less, about half 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.

The typical Wakayama listing earns about ¥97,300 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Wakayama Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Wakayama Airbnb took in ¥1,594,688 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ¥88,000 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 ¥112,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ¥98,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ¥76,000 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 Wakayama's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Wakayama listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ¥12,100 adds about ¥121,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ¥19,700 a night or more, against a median of ¥12,100. 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 ¥148,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ¥248,000, against ¥125,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Wakayama listings average 4.71 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 ¥280,000 a month, against ¥133,000 for the average one.

Top-Earning Airbnbs and Hosts in Wakayama
The top-grossing listing, a one-bedroom unit at ¥144,913 a night (about 4.4 times the ¥32,900 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded. Leaving it out, the top earner in Wakayama, a four-bedroom home, took in ¥7,140,000 over the past year, about 4.5 times the city's average of ¥1,590,000. Three of the six listings below have two bedrooms or fewer, so size alone doesn't explain the top of this market.
