Frequently asked questions

Can I use it for room (lodging) reservations at a vacation rental?

No. KYOYO Stay is a service for booking shared facilities (guest rooms, meeting rooms, BBQ areas, saunas, parking, etc.) used by people who live in or stay at dormitories, vacation rentals and similar properties. We do not accept or broker room or lodging reservations, and we do not recruit guests. Please continue to handle lodging reservations, guest registers and ID checks in your own way.

What kinds of facilities is it suited for?

Facilities that are booked for a set time, such as guest rooms, meeting rooms, BBQ areas, saunas, parking, study rooms, music rooms, theater rooms and private kitchen use. Short 15- and 30-minute slots are also available, so it also works for taking turns with laundry and showers at busy times.

Which languages are supported?

Seven: にほんご, English, Tiếng Việt, Bahasa Indonesia, မြန်မာ, 中文, नेपाली. The language is chosen automatically from the phone's language setting, and residents and guests can also switch it on screen. Booking emails arrive in the same language (native-speaker review of the translations is in progress). The admin console is available in Japanese, English and Simplified Chinese.

Can I try it before signing up?

Yes. With "Try the demo", you can try the real admin console and the resident and guest screens without signing up. The resident and guest screens can be switched between 7 languages. You can also scan the QR code on the sample sign with your own phone and make a booking.

Can share houses use it for common spaces?

Yes. It suits spaces used for a set time, such as private use of the kitchen or living room, theater rooms, workspaces and visitor parking. Residents don't need to be registered, so there is no extra work each time someone moves in or out.

Do residents and guests need to register, or do we need a resident list?

No. They just scan the QR code posted at the property and enter their room number and name. There is no need to re-register at every move-in, move-out, check-in or check-out.

What counts as one "property"?

One dormitory or one building counts as one property. The flat fee per property does not depend on the number of shared facilities, bookings, residents, guests or team members.

How are usage fees collected?

Free facilities can be used as they are. For paid facilities, choose per property from "Settle with rent" and "Cash on site", plus "Online payment" for operators in Japan (residents and guests see only the options you choose). "Settle with rent" only records usage, and you can export monthly per-room totals as CSV.

Do operators and hosts pay the online payment fee? (Japan only)

No. Online payment of usage fees (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.) is available only to operators in Japan. Only the residents and guests who choose it pay an online payment service fee (4.0% of the usage fee + ¥20), and the full usage fee is paid into the operator's or host's account. You don't need to change your facility fees.

Can it be used in dormitories for foreign workers?

Yes. In Japan, housing costs for Technical Intern Training and Specified Skilled Worker residents are subject to rules, such as not exceeding actual costs and explaining charges in advance. If you charge separately for shared facilities, please check with your supervising organization, registered support organization or a professional. Many dormitories use it free of charge just to manage turns. Outside Japan, please follow your local rules.

What about residents or guests without a smartphone?

Managers and hosts can book on their behalf from the admin console. Phone numbers and email addresses are optional.

Can we pay by invoice?

Operators in Japan billed in JPY can pay by card or by invoice (bank transfer). Operators outside Japan pay by card in USD. Yearly billing ($290 per property) is also available.
