matsuri technologies

matsuri technologies is a Tokyo-headquartered technology company that develops and operates StayX, a software-based system for turning single-use rooms into multi-use spaces. A property that would conventionally be let on a two-year lease can instead be operated for one-night stays or one-month short-term rentals, with the software covering online customer acquisition, real-time inventory management, price adjustment and AI-supported cleaning management so that facilities can be run with few or no on-site staff.

The product suite is organised around the StayX platform and m2m modules: m2m Core for centralised pricing, m2m Systems for CRM and AI chat, m2m Inventory for inventory and logistics management, m2m Check-in for unmanned check-in and smart locks, and m2m Operation for on-demand cleaning management and AI-based quality checks. For guests, multilingual messaging, payment, check-in, identity verification and check-out are handled in one flow; for owners, goods and inventory management, cleaning dispatch, asset management and revenue/expense data are consolidated and updated in real time.

Alongside software, the company runs booking platforms and its own accommodation brands. Platforms include Sumyca, a smartphone-based short-term rental marketplace covering both housing and lodging and listing third-party properties as well as its own; Ichiji Kikoku.com (一時帰国.com), aimed at people based overseas returning temporarily to Japan; and Otameshi Dousei (おためし同棲), a trial-cohabitation service with no upfront costs. Its accommodation brands are stayme for urban facilities and S-villa for regional/vacation properties. Distribution also runs through OTAs such as Airbnb and Booking.com.
