Minpaku reception & emergency-response providers in Kyoto City
Kyoto Prefecture
Kyoto City runs mainly on 簡易宿所 (Hotel Business Act) and minpaku (Housing Accommodation Business Act). For 旅館業, staff must be stationed inside the facility while guests stay; an off-site front desk is allowed only for small-scale facilities (one guest room, one party of up to 9). Owner-absent minpaku need a face-to-face ID check inside the property and an on-site response manager stationed within a 10-minute walk (about 800 m by road), covering at most 5 rooms at a time.
