When should I use 外国人向けの24時間警察登録ルールの説明?

Staying at an Airbnb or a friend's apartment Arriving late at night to a non-hotel residence

What should I do first?

If staying in a hotel, they handle this automatically (always confirm 'Have you registered my passport?').

What if the first fix does not work?

If you miss the 24-hour window, go to the police station immediately and apologize; usually, they just issue a warning for first-timers. If the host refuses to provide documents, book a cheap hotel for one night to reset your registration status legally. Keep the physical paper registration slip (Accommodation Registration Form) safe; you may need it at the airport.
