The purpose of this paper is to compare the results of the 2017 Questionnaire Survey (2017QS) and the 2012 Questionnaire Survey (2012QS) to examine the secular change of the characteristics of the guest house. Specifically, we compare the results of both surveys and pick up only survey items for which relatively large changes were confirmed. As a result, three main points became clear. The guest houses in-creased rapidly after 2015. The proportion of guest houses, managed as corporations, have doubled. Guest houses using telephone and mail as a means of reservation have decreased significantly. On the other hand, guest houses using the Internet as a reservation means are rapidly increasing. In some guest houses with shared rooms, all of their beds were capsule beds (results from 2017QS only).
