Unlocking the Future of Vacation Rental Investments: The Inn & Lodging Fest 2025

In the evolving landscape of investment opportunities in Japan, the Inn & Lodging Fest 2025 is lighting the way for aspiring investors by breaking misconceptions surrounding vacation rental investments. Organized by CF Consulting Co., Ltd., under the leadership of renowned investor Takashi Iinuma, this initiative aims to replace the entrenched belief that investing is merely a game for the rich. Instead, it advocates for an empowering society where every individual can explore investment as a viable avenue for supplementary income.

The Vision and the Journey

The event is tied closely with the release of ‘Survival Guide to Vacation Rental Investments’, a comprehensive book being published in October 2025, which sheds light on practical strategies and insights from eleven seasoned vacation rental players. Not only is the fest set to provide motivational seminars, but it will also honor the most promising vacation rental facilities with an award, thus encouraging best practices in the industry.

Since launching the crowdfunding initiative on August 1, 2025, the campaign has remarkably raised 97 million yen, far exceeding its initial target of 2 million yen as of September 16. The final event is anticipated to gather over 541 attendees, making it a significant milestone in Japan's journey towards investment literacy.

The Background: Challenging Investment Misconceptions

Japan faces societal challenges where a significant portion of its workforce believes that investing is solely reserved for the wealthy, creating a fear of financial uncertainty amidst rising living costs and stagnant wages. With risks associated with illnesses, job loss, or unforeseen life changes, a mindset shift towards embracing investment as a tool for financial empowerment is crucial.

Though investment education is accessible via literature and seminars, the need for a practical, participative learning environment is evident. Networking opportunities with fellow investors and success stories can inspire individuals to take actionable steps towards building wealth through investments.

The Importance of the Inn & Lodging Fest

The Inn & Lodging Fest 2025 is not just an event; it’s a movement designed to provide practical pathways for individuals to consider vacation rental investments. With the ability to start with relatively small capital and the immense potential of repurposing the 9 million vacant homes across Japan, the possibilities are endless.

Participants can look forward to:
1. Real-world insights from current industry players addressing practical methods to succeed in vacation rentals.
2. The first-ever Stay-Suran Award, establishing clear evaluation criteria for vacation rental facilities and recognizing excellence in hospitality.
3. Life-changing networking opportunities that could inspire attendees to think differently about their financial futures.
4. A roadmap guiding new investors on how to gradually increase their passive income, ultimately leading towards financial freedom and life transformation.

Why Support This Crowdfunding Initiative?

The crowdfunding project aims to revolutionize how Japanese professionals view investments, providing them the tools to cultivate a lifestyle rich in opportunities and financial health. The objective is clear: broaden the choices available to those who work diligently yet struggle financially.

In a world ripe with potential—evidenced by Japan being ranked as the most attractive country for tourism—this fest seeks to engage and empower individuals across the spectrum, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance at economic growth.

The Organizer’s Vision

Takashi Iinuma’s personal journey from despair during a tumultuous period of his life to a successful property investor fuels the motivation behind this project. He believes that each individual's small step can contribute to significant changes for themselves and their loved ones.

In his words, “If at any moment you think, ‘Maybe I could do this too,’ you already have what it takes to start. Take that first small step fueled by curiosity and courage, for it could lead to meaningful change in your life and those you cherish.”
