In February 2026, TLL LLC launched urban-stay.jp, the official website of its own accommodation brand, Urban Stay. Urban Stay is the entire-home rental brand we started in July 2025; until now, most guests found us through booking platforms.
The website presents our properties in Tokyo and Kanagawa in Japanese, English and Chinese, and guests can check availability, book and pay on the site.
Key points
- In February 2026, TLL LLC launched urban-stay.jp, the official website of Urban Stay, the entire-home rental brand it started in July 2025.
- The site is in Japanese, English and Chinese, and guests can check availability and book Tokyo and Kanagawa properties directly.
- Building on what it learned running Urban Stay, TLL began offering accommodation operation management services in July 2026.
What is Urban Stay?
Urban Stay rents out each property as a whole home to one group per day, so families and groups can stay without sharing the space with other guests.
Every property has a kitchen, a washing machine and Wi-Fi, with 24-hour self check-in. Whether you stay a few days or longer, the aim is to let you live as if at home.
What you can do on the website
- See each property's photos, layout, amenities and house rules
- Check availability and prices for your dates and party size
- Book and pay (on the secure payment page of our booking system, Beds24)
- Check each property's minpaku notification number or ryokan licence number
- Switch between Japanese, English and Chinese
Many of our guests come from abroad, so each of the three languages is written separately rather than machine-translated.
Official website: urban-stay.jp
Urban Stay's track record, and our operation management service
By our own count, Urban Stay properties have averaged 91.5% occupancy (over the whole period) and a guest rating of 4.87 out of 5 from more than 256 reviews (source: figures published on our accommodation operation management page).
Since July 2026 we have offered the pricing, cleaning, guest communication and multilingual support we built running our own properties as an operation management service for property owners. If you are thinking of starting a minpaku or ryokan, or want to improve how yours is run, see our operation management service page.
Our history is summarised in the company history.
Frequently asked questions
Q. Can I only book Urban Stay on the official website?
No. You can also book through booking platforms; which platforms list a property varies by property.
Q. Can Urban Stay run my property?
Send operation management inquiries through our accommodation operation management page. Whether a property can operate as a minpaku, a ryokan or a special-zone minpaku depends on its location and zoning, so we start by checking those conditions.
