What It Is

ADDress is a “housing subscription” multi-location living platform operated by ADDress Inc. Rather than enterprise management software, its core offering is the ability to book around 300 homes across Japan and some overseas locations using monthly tickets. It is aimed at remote workers, weekend short-stay users, people trying out relocation, and those interested in local community exchange, positioning itself somewhere between travel, shared housing, and dual-location living.

Core Features

The platform offers property search, maps, themed lists, property details, room reservations, and ticket management. Properties are often detached houses, guesthouses, share houses, inns, or entire homes, and generally come equipped with Wi‑Fi, furniture, appliances, kitchens, and other living facilities. Some rooms include desks, chairs, and monitors, making them suitable for workations. A distinctive feature is the “yamori” house steward system: yamori handle property management, support check-ins, and connect members with local communities. There are also member-only Facebook groups and community activities such as “club activities.”

Pricing

Pricing is based on a monthly subscription. The Community Plan costs ¥980/month and includes 2 nights per year. Ticket plans include 2 tickets for ¥9,800, 5 tickets for ¥19,800, 15 tickets for ¥54,400, and 30 tickets for ¥99,800. In general, 1 ticket covers 1 night within Japan, and tickets can be carried over for up to 6 months. Initial fees, deposits, key money, utilities, and internet costs are included in the monthly fee. Some properties may charge extra companion fees, heating fees, laundry fees, or accommodation taxes, with payment methods potentially including on-site cash or bank transfer.

Pros and Cons

Pros include a clear fee structure, the ability to change plans monthly, broad property coverage, and a reduced sense of unfamiliarity when “staying for just one night” thanks to the yamori and community elements. For remote workers, it offers a relatively low fixed-cost way to explore living in multiple regions. Downsides include the fact that popular dates may not be available; shared living can compromise privacy and quietness; facilities vary significantly by property, and some may lack air conditioning or have temporarily unstable internet. From a SaaS perspective, the available text does not disclose APIs, enterprise permissions, third-party system integrations, or security certifications.

Best For / Access from China

It is suitable for people living or traveling in Japan who want to try dual-location living, scout areas before relocating, work remotely, or socialize with local communities. It is less suitable for teams that require hotel-like service consistency, strict privacy, or enterprise-grade business travel management. Access from mainland China is not stated in the source text, so it is considered unknown.
