Kyoto City in Kyoto Prefecture has ordered the suspension of operations of the private lodging facility “kansha Arashiyama,” operated by an individual, for violating the obligation to submit periodic reports under Japan’s Private Lodging Business Act.
The operator is Mr. Shinya Takeda, who filed a notification in November 2018 and had been operating the facility.
The Private Lodging Business Act requires operators to submit a performance report on lodging results every two months. Because the operator failed to submit the periodic reports by the deadline and did not comply with a business improvement order, the city issued a 30-day business suspension order and imposed an administrative fine of 50,000 yen based on the relevant municipal ordinance.
Since February, Kyoto City has tightened measures against those who violate the obligation to submit periodic reports. This is the first time in the city that both a business suspension order and an administrative fine have been imposed for violating the reporting obligation.
