民泊
含义: 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.

常见错误
- 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
