Legal short-term apartment rentals in Japan are kind of broken due to one month plus minimum stay requirements. Airbnb fixes an actual problem here.

I use Uber pretty much exclusively these days, but in Japan it doesn't make sense: in central Tokyo, you can hail a cab in seconds on any major street, and outside it, the nearest train station will have a taxi rank. And if you go out far enough that you need to call a cab, then Uber's unlikely to serve the area either.
