民泊
의미: Private lodging — staying in someone's home or apartment, like Airbnb.
Japan's term for the home-sharing/vacation rental phenomenon. 民泊 became a hot topic in the mid-2010s as Airbnb expanded in Japan, leading to the 2018 民泊新法 (Private Lodging Business Act) that regulated the industry. The term carries both excitement (affordable, unique stays) and controversy (noise complaints, neighbourhood disruption, impact on hotel industry). Now a standard travel option alongside hotels and ryokan.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- ホテルに泊まることを「民泊」とは言わない — 民泊は個人の住宅に泊まること (Staying at a hotel is not 'minpaku' — the term specifically means staying at a private residence)住酒店不叫「民泊」——民泊是指住在个人的住宅里（住酒店不叫'民泊'——这个词特指住在私人住宅里）Alojarse en un hotel no es「民泊」— el término se refiere específicamente a hospedarse en una vivienda particular (Alojarse en un hotel no es 'minpaku' — el término se refiere específicamente a hospedarse en una vivienda privada)호텔에 묵는 것을 「民泊」이라고 하지 않는다 — 民泊은 개인 주택에 숙박하는 것 (호텔에 묵는 것은 '민박'이 아니다 — 민박은 개인의 주거 공간에 머무는 것을 말한다)
흔한 실수
- Not knowing that 民泊 is regulated in Japan — hosts need registration and there are limits on operating days
- Confusing 民泊 with 民宿 (minshuku) — 民宿 is a family-run guesthouse, while 民泊 is peer-to-peer home sharing
