Hi @BedandStay0 welcome to the hosting community. In our short experience we have had with the community we have been very pleased.
We do agree to some extent with regards to the cancellation policy we are going to reevaluate this in three months when we get superhost status. We have lowered prices and made it as easy as possible to get a bunch of bookings. January 1st is our first evaluation date. You can read about the superhost criteria HERE!
We have not been to Japan but had some friend recently get back from a three week vacation there. They had an absolute blast. High on our priority list for sure.
Your listing: It is unique to go through your listing and other listings in Tokyo. There is such a big difference in what people look for in an Airbnb in the US vs Japan. With that being said take everything I say with a grain of salt.
I like how your first picture has all the amenities on it. I had never thought that would be an option. I'm assuming this is to help attract guests that are just skimming through the pictures quickly too catch their eye. In your pictures I would caption each one. It is one more way to communicate witha potential guest. If you take the time to do this, in my opinion, it shows that you really take pride in the place. The little things really do matter.
I really like how you show yourself and the neighborhood. It gives that personal touch that Kane and I look for when we travel. Did you design that last picture. It's great. You could have easily conveyed where everything was just by typing but that extra visual touch is nice.
I would add more color in your house. I like the flowers, but everything else is kinda plain. No keep in mind I am a huge color person and alot of people don't like color. They like neutrals and thats fine but if your trying to grabs someone's attention art on the walls is a great way to have the desired affect.
I would change the title to something more unique. Here is a great article I read on how to maximize naming your listing. Click HERE!
I would hire someone to do proffesinal photos. Airbnb has options now to hire a professional. I think pictures are the most important aspect of the listing. I believe people in general are very visual and with so many listings you need to stand out from the crowd with beautiful pictures that acurately protray the beautiful space.
Overall great home with alot to offer. I wish you the best of lock and look forward to future correspondance.
Cheers,
