That's a bit of a shame. I get where they are coming from, but the place in Ueno my girlfriend and I rented out was cute and we didn't hold any wild parties, even if I did get the evil eye from some old guy in a convenience store.

Agreed it's a bummer for people who are chill and looking to see another side of a place.

How did it go for the trash ? recycling rules ? balcony usage ? Did you check/pass the kanranban ? Genuinely, resident building are so different from hotels I wonder how smooth it is for the residents to have random oversea people passing by even only 180 days a year, even if they are polite, well educated and well intended.

  Also stayed exclusively in Airbnbs when traveling in Japan. The hosts usually explained the rules how to sort the trash, including the removal the cap on the water bottles, and showed where to put the trash (on this random trash pile next to the building). Not sure about the balcony usage, but I'd would probably use common sense and not be yelling there or using it in the middle of the night. Also I don't smoke but seems as smoking goes, the rules were pretty liberal in Japan. I don't see these being issues, if the host explains the customs, obviously you cannot expect that everyone knows all your countries rules. On a side not its interesting how many different ways there is to sort trash.

  Iirc there was a binder with rules/info including trash/recycling rules. I think it was street pickup one of the mornings, but it’s been a year. I assume you meant “kairenban” - I don’t recall there being one but it may have been in that binder. I can assure you we were quiet and did our very best to follow the rules, but as I said above, I understand your discomfort. I’m personally not a huge fan of AirBnB, but I wasn’t in charge of booking lodgings for those nights. Even so, it was a nice experience.
