What happens in a love hotel in Japan?
Love hotels have been a part of Japanese culture for decades and offer a unique experience for couples looking for a romantic getaway. There are two main types of love hotels: standard and themed, which provide amenities such as beds, showers, televisions, air-conditioning, and sometimes even karaoke machines or gaming systems. Visiting a love hotel is quite different from staying at a regular hotel with no need to check-in or fill out paperwork. Popular amenities offered include comfortable beds with high thread count sheets, flat screen TVs with streaming services, mini-bars stocked with snacks and beverages, private bathrooms with luxury bath products and mood lighting systems. Prices range from around ¥3 000 - ¥10 000 per night (approximate US$30 - $100) and there are rules such as no smoking indoors that must be followed while staying at the facility.
