## About

Founded in 2020 and based in Tokyo, Japan, NOT A HOTEL plans, sells, and operates shared ownership residences, manages reservations and property usage, provides hospitality services, supports ownership transactions, and offers mobility services connecting transportation with residential stays.

In August 2026, NOT A HOTEL raised JPY 10 billion in series C funding from investors Toyota Invention Partners, SBI Holdings, SBI Investment, TT Lion Partners, and Sequoia.

NOT A HOTEL inc. offers buildings for a single purchase (360 days) or share purchase (30 days). The buildings are designed by interior designers and set in a garden or near a beach.  After paying the first deposit (35% of the selling price), NOT A HOTEL Inc. concludes a sales contract and the client is now the owner of NOT A HOTEL, which they can convert into a hotel when not in use.
