Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Shimonoseki?

Gross bookings per Shimonoseki listing averaged ¥2,508,703 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Japan average: ¥4,240,725), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Shimonoseki listing brings in ¥327,000 in August, its best month, and ¥160,000 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 4.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ¥545,000+ a month, about 3.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ¥308,000 or more, roughly ¥140,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ¥167,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ¥62,700 or less, about 38% 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.

August earns about twice what September does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ¥223,000. 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.

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.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ¥18,800. The 12-month ADR of ¥22,661 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Shimonoseki?
