Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm the solo dev behind Minpaku Map. I built this because every foreign friend buying property in Japan hits the same
wall: "Can I actually Airbnb it?" No English tool answered that at address resolution — so I made one.
What makes it different:
- Not a translated Japanese portal. English-native copy, USD/JPY conversion, sqm+sqft, PDF reports in EN/中文/한국어.
- Legality is the primary answer, not a footnote. National law + Tokyo 23-ward ordinances +
Osaka/Kyoto/Fukuoka/Kobe/Naha/Beppu/Kutchan rules are encoded from actual municipal PDFs.
- Real Airbnb performance (Tokyo, 34,419 listings) — the number buyers actually care about.
Pricing:
- Free preview (no signup): Kyoto only.
- Free tier (email): all 47 prefectures, unlimited searches.
- Pro $19/mo: Airbnb overlays + PDF reports.
- Agency $99/mo: API + MCP server.
Ask me anything. I read every comment today.
One heads-up: I'm a Japanese-speaking solo developer. I can respond in written English and go deep, but I don't do
voice/video interviews in English. Written Q&A is the format I can deliver on.
