When we use the word “livelihood” in Japanese, it is often used to describe not just the material aspects of life, but also the everyday way of life in a broader sense, including mental satisfaction, quality of life, and happiness. Life, too, seems to be a word associated with “livelihood.
When we use the word “dwelling,” we often include feelings about the place itself where we reside, as well as the feelings of security and comfort that we gain from living there.
For example, expressions such as “comfortable dwelling” and “arranging a dwelling” imply that one values not only the building itself, but also the life and comfort of the place where one lives.
For long-term business trips, training, and other spot short-term use, the hotel/monthly subscriber service, a new housing alternative to renting, is likely to be a very attractive option for a clientele with specific needs. This service is likely to catch on for the following reasons
- Flexibility: Traditional rental contracts are inconvenient when the duration is uncertain, such as for long-term business trips or training programs. Hotel/monthly subscriber services allow for month-to-month contracts, giving you the flexibility to choose your housing.
- Convenience: Hotels offer the advantage of basic amenities such as furniture and Internet access, allowing you to start living right away. Cleaning and front desk services are often included, making life hassle-free.
3. Cost-effectiveness: While initial costs (deposit, key money, etc.) are usually required when signing a rental contract, these are often not required with hotel/monthly subscriber services. In addition, utilities and internet fees are included, making it easy to keep total costs low.
4. Support for diverse lifestyles: With the spread of remote work, more and more people are enjoying “digital nomadism” or “workcations,” in which they work while flexibly changing their living locations. For these people, hotel/monthly subscriber services can be an ideal option.
5. Increased demand after Corona: People’s lifestyles have changed dramatically since the pandemic, and the use of extended-stay hotels has increased. This trend is likely to continue and will increase demand for subscriber services.
Given these factors, hotel/monthly subscriber services could gain popularity, especially in urban and business areas. Of course, the key factor will be whether the quality of service, pricing, and location meet the needs of users.
