Autoritățile din Tokyo vor să limiteze închirierile pentru turiști din cauza gunoiului și poluării fonice din unul dintre cele mai vizitate cartiere

Shinjuku, a popular district in Tokyo, plans to ban over half of short-term rentals, mainly through Airbnb, due to rising local complaints. Issues include improper waste disposal, noise pollution, and violations of private property. The local government aims to amend regulations to restrict rentals in residential areas and near schools. This move comes as Japan seeks to attract 60 million foreign tourists by 2030, despite challenges posed by overtourism. Complaints in Shinjuku have surged by about 40% in the last fiscal year, prompting officials to take action to maintain a peaceful living environment.
