Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays, experiences and services that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.

"The problem with politics—I don’t have a better system, but it’s 50-plus-one. You have to divide them and get plus one. And it is inherently a divisive thing, and Airbnb’s mission is inherently unifying. Do you know the number of Trump supporters who stayed in a house of a Kamala Harris supporter over the course of the election? Millions. Do you know the number of Democrats, Republicans that live together and don’t even know they’re Democrats and Republicans? When you travel, it’s one of the few times in your life that you’re truly open-minded.” - Brian Chesky
Across Japan’s countryside, approximately 9 million homes sit quietly, steeped in history but standing empty. By 2033, one in three rural homes could be vacant. To help change that, we launched the Akiya Design Project with the Japan Kominka Association and cultural icons Kiko Mizuhara and Rola. Together, we restored traditional kominka homes in Kyoto and Ibaraki, transforming them into spaces where travelers can experience authentic Japanese culture firsthand. This project isn’t just about beautiful design. It's about reviving rural tourism, preserving cultural heritage, and supporting local communities. These kominka may be off the beaten path, but their deep history and sense of place make them destinations in their own right. A reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful travel experiences lie far from the familiar.
