Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Shimonoseki listing earns about ¥167,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb revenue calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Shimonoseki Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Shimonoseki Airbnb took in ¥2,508,703 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ¥146,000 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 ¥273,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ¥124,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ¥157,000 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.

How Shimonoseki's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Shimonoseki listings are booked on 48% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ¥16,200 adds about ¥162,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ¥24,900 a night or more, against a median of ¥16,200. 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 ¥238,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ¥327,000, against ¥160,000 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Shimonoseki listings average 4.77 stars, and 26% 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 ¥386,000 a month, against ¥209,000 for the average one.
