I don’t really get the rationale. You’re effectively pursuing longer term tourists who are cheaper in spending habits on average and presumably want non-hotel housing. Maybe that’s a win in Tokyo but it’s not obvious to me why.
I guess it’s about having some short-term tax revenue from younger foreigners to help the state deal with an aging population. Since nomads eventually move away, the state does not include them in any pension system.
I guess although I believe a tourist visa for the US and some other countries is 90 days so I assume the incentive is to fly under the radar for that period (eg no coworking space) and then go somewhere else.
