Work-Holiday Visa: Residence Registration and Airbnb

My life circumstances unexpectedly changed at the start of this year and I have found myself in a position to travel for a while. I'm still weighing up my options, but I'd very much like to do a short work-holiday in Japan. The plan would probably be to stay for three months: one month in southern Japan, one in central Japan, and one in northern Japan. I am not planning to stay more than 90 days.

I'm aware that residence registration is required 14 days after arriving in Japan. The most reasonable thing based on my plan so far (although I'm very open to changing things!) would probably be to rent a different Airbnb each month as I move, but I'm a little worried about how that will go with the registration requirements as I won't have a 'permanent' address. Does anyone have experience with this?
