Airbnb Japan Inc.

(headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda, hereinafter referred to as "CCC"), a planning company that offers lifestyle proposals, will open an Airbnb Cafe for a limited time from Friday, October 26th to Monday, November 19th, 2018, within SHIBUYA TSUTAYA in Shibuya, a cultural hub for music, art, and more.

Airbnb Cafe is part of a campaign called "Travel to Various Homes," and was planned with the hope of letting people all over Japan learn about the new travel possibilities offered by Airbnb, which is available in 191 countries around the world. Based on our global mission 'Belong Anywhere', it expresses the idea that anyone, anywhere can find 'home' with Airbnb. The store is a space where you can experience new possibilities for travel, utilizing Airbnb, which produces the entire trip through "home sharing" and "experiences."The living room corner will be a place where you can relax and enjoy your trip, and there will be a photogenic space where guests can enjoy themselves freely.A corner of the store's bookshelf will be set up with a selection of books centered around travel within Japan, based on the theme of "A book that will give you a sense of travel and bring you into contact with the lifestyle and environment that breathes life into the local area."In addition, we will be offering two types of Airbnb original drinks and food, and distributing Airbnb experience coupons. In addition, during the period, songs themed around "travel x music" will be broadcast as background music in the store in collaboration with music media "Spincoaster," and every Friday night from 8:00 p.m., a "Weekend Session" will feature DJs active in the Shibuya area. SHIBUYA TSUTAYA, located in Shibuya, a cultural hub, will be offering a variety of content that will allow you to experience the joy of traveling that is unique to Airbnb.

Additionally, talent Daisuke Miyagawa has been appointed as an evangelist for Airbnb Japan. In the future, in order to spread the appeal of traveling through Airbnb to more people, we will have participants stay in Airbnb listings in Japan and spread the appeal of Airbnb through their own experiences.

In addition, Airbnb will begin a nationwide caravan on the same day, the 26th, visiting 10 cities across Japan, including Hokkaido, Osaka, Shimane, and Fukuoka. This caravan will see Airbnb's caravan cars travelling around the country, providing a venue for meet-up events where people interested in Airbnb can communicate with existing Airbnb hosts, with the aim of promoting the unique culture of each region and connecting people.

Through this initiative, Airbnb and CCC aim to raise awareness of the new appeal of travel and encourage more people to take advantage of it. The travel options are endless. We believe that the new travel experiences offered by Airbnb will make traveling in Japan even more enjoyable. Airbnb will continue to plan and implement events and campaigns to share the new appeal of travel.
