Solving High Hotel Prices with Innovative Monthly Stays in Japan

Expanding Solutions for Inbound Travelers

As Japan sees an influx of inbound visitors, the struggles with high hotel costs and the difficulty of booking the same accommodation for extended stays have become more prominent. In response, LALL Human Holdings' subsidiary, Lall Facilities, has launched a range of monthly apartment rentals designed to meet the needs of mid- to long-term travelers, including business professionals and students preparing for exams.

Increasing Room Availability

Beginning this May, Lall Facilities plans to increase its offering by launching three new units, with an additional 19 scheduled for June. Their goal is to operate a total of 50 units by the end of March 2026. This initiative aims to alleviate the burden of rocketing hotel prices and ensure availability for visitors seeking flexible housing options.

The rooms are primarily one-bedroom apartments located across key cities such as Tokyo, Kanagawa, Sapporo, Sendai, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe. By centralizing their operations around these urban areas, they cater to both local and international guests during peak travel seasons, such as the upcoming Osaka Expo.

Competitive Pricing Structure

Lall Facilities offers competitive pricing that varies by location and time of year, with rates typically ranging from 5,000 to 9,000 yen per day for one- to two-person accommodations. This pricing is approximately 16,500 yen lower than many traditional hotels, especially given the lack of service staff, which allows for more affordable stays.

In addition, all rooms are equipped with essential amenities such as beds, televisions, washing machines, kitchen appliances, and necessary utensils, enabling guests to settle in comfortably and start living immediately. Most properties are located within a short ten-minute walk from train stations, making access to transportation hassle-free.

Focus on Security and Accessibility

Guest safety is paramount, with features including auto-lock systems, intercoms, and regular key replacements for added security. The rooms can accommodate various types of travelers, including those moving or renovating, in addition to business travelers and students.

To attract new customers, Lall Facilities is currently running a limited-time promotion where followers on Instagram can receive a code to waive the initial fees for bookings made in May.

Booking Made Easy

Reservations can be made through their website, with a clear step-by-step process for inquiries, quotes, applications, and electronic contract signing. This convenience supports their mission of ensuring a smooth and efficient booking experience.

1. Inquiry: Interested parties can select preferred properties and check for availability.
2. Quotation: A detailed quote is emailed, and clients can respond to move forward with the booking.
3. Contract: An electronic agreement will be provided for signing.
4. Payment: Clients complete the payment via bank transfer or credit card.
5. Key Collection: Keys are delivered via mail or can be collected in person.

As a way of boosting outreach, the company is ensuring their website offers multilingual support in English, Chinese, and Korean to assist foreign travelers. Additionally, Lall Facilities aims to leverage social media for spreading awareness about their unique accommodation solutions.

Future Expansion Plans

Recognizing the ongoing challenges in the hospitality industry, Lall Facilities is determined to contribute to a new form of lodging that prioritizes customer needs over traditional hotel services. While they currently have a strong presence in the Kanto and Kansai regions, future plans include expanding into more regions through strategic partnerships with their parent company.

As they strive for growth, increasing the number of available properties nationwide will be crucial in providing innovative and practical solutions for anyone needing short- to long-term housing in Japan. The company intends to solidify its position as a reliable accommodation provider amidst the changing dynamics of the travel industry.
