How to navigate to the Airbnb home

Problem of locating Airbnb home

1. The Japanese Airbnb host may be unaware of this problem : non-Japanese who do not speak nor write Japanese trying to find their home with a rental car.
2. Once you have booked your Airbnb home, you will be given the address by Airbnb. Do not use this address. Instead, ask for the address in Japanese from the host. Use it in Google maps : it's accurate.
3. However, the post code given is not sufficient as I've mentioned before that I had a difficult time finding the first Airbnb home, because the GPS brought us to a slightly different area.
4. Then use Google Maps to search for a nearby establishment, like shops, restaurants, supermarkets, with a telephone number.
5. Or ask your host to find you one that’s closest to his home.
6. From Google Maps, establish a walking path from this establishment to his home and print it out.
7. Use Satellite View also to view the location in Google Maps. Look out for any easy to identify landmark close to the Airbnb home.
8. Ask him also to send you pictures of his home (view from the road), if possible.
9. With that tel number, you could navigate to the closest establishment or his home, and trace your path on Google Map to find his home.
10. Good Luck !
