About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
JM STAY Inc.
We offer a "live like a local" stay in Tokyo.
Our homes are designed for families and groups looking for space, comfort, and a more relaxed way to experience the city.
We currently operate two properties, each located in a different area of Tokyo.
Our Story
JM STAY was founded in 2024 by husband‑and‑wife duo Jotaro and Maya Shirai. Jotaro spent years around the globe as an energy‑plant engineer. Those journeys taught him two things: the richness of other cultures —and the quiet depth of his own. Determined to share “the best of Japan” in a responsible way, he first launched a vintage film‑camera business that gave new life to timeless tools. Today that vision has grown into JM STAY vacation rentals. We restore unused homes and apartments, blending Japandi design with modern comfort so guests can experience: the elegance of Japanese craftsmanship, the rhythm of the four seasons, and the warmth of local communities.
