Have you ever heard of a Japanese “Love Hotel?” It’s a special hotel where they have full preparations for couples to "have a lovely time together". There are plans for "items" to nurture your love that you would not find at a normal hotel, and "break/rest" plans to stay for a few hours instead of staying overnight.
You might be thinking… Well, I'm not traveling for that purpose during my trip to Japan, so I guess it doesn't matter to me…
But actually, even if you don't have plans for its original purpose at all, there are still reasons why I recommend you to experience staying at a Love Hotel once!
So today I will explain about how Love Hotels were born in Japan and the five reasons why I recommend you to stay at one. The five reasons will get more and more important towards the end, so I hope you can fully enjoy watching this video.
By watching this video you’ll be able to deepen your understanding towards hotel culture in Japan, and might be able to enjoy traveling Japan even more.
I’ve once heard from my friends before that there are love hotels outside of Japan too, so please let me know in the comments if your country has any.

About the soundproof stuff. In my apartment in Japan, my neighbors would hear when I watched UA-cam on my computer. They asked me a few times who in America I was calling, thinking the English coming from my computer was me talking to someone back home. I felt so bad! I can definitely see why people would love the soundproof-ness of these hotels.
Either the walls are thin af or you just increased the volume to the max using some high quality speakers
For a week travel in Kyoto i would suggest to get a reservation for a hotel for check in monday check out Tuesday leave your luggage at a metro with key and lock tuesday night life in kyoto and then Wednesday to Thursday you get a stay in a love hotel prepaid and Friday to Sunday a reservation back to your hotel.
Minimizing cost. Also. Reserve in a hotel where there's dry cleaners so that the clothes you wore on Wednesday Thursday won't be a worry.(suggestible hotel with dry cleaners: Mitsui Garden Hotel)
Airbnb house in kyoto might come into 60$/night while stay love hotels at 70$/night + hotel at 50$/night but the amenities and the free to worry mindset is worth the case and it balances out. It will also allow you to feel the lifestyle of a modern japanese couple in its oldest cities.
@@Hunter-im3tg or the neighbors have really sharp hearing
Considering that such hotels are soundproof and have cheap rates, wouldn't these attributes be great for bands to utilize then? The distance from transportation might be a hindrance that could completely outweigh those benefits but I can easily imagine demos being recorded or band practice being conducted in such places.
From what I’ve seen on UA-cam, they’re not that soundproof. It seems some utilise fans and stuff to hide the sound of next door rooms. Maybe luxury love hotels would be more sound proof.
@@rachelcookie321 - Depends on which ones you're staying in, yeah. Like... mostly based on area, really. Don't expect any silence anywhere in the Kabuki district but in higher-end places, you're usually going to be fine.
If your better half is a screamer she will be heard, at least I was told.
Holup, soundproof, high flux of people...
Why does it sound like a perfect place for murder?
Brilliant and totally Rock and Roll!
I love how "it's more than 10 minutes from a station" is somehow a quality/convenience sign here, meanwhile me, the provincial german, is happy if the place has a bus line that frequents the village more than once an hour.
Meanwhile, in America… It’s 15 minutes by car to any local town for groceries for me as-is. Walking would take probably closer to an hour, with no sidewalks and twisty roads with terrible drivers.
Buy a motorcycle man
I'm also a "provincial German" and this was my thought as well haha. Seriously, the bus comes just a very few times a day and walking would take way too long.
In Thailand there're ม่านรูด (Marn-rud: which directly translate to "draw curtains"). You can say that its a kind of "Love Hotel" . The room is typical of a 0-1Star hotel, but what's special is each room has a dedicated parking space in front of each room. Couple would just drive their car in to this parking space and the staff would close the curtains behind to prevent others to see the vihicle, license plate or who're in side. Pricese are base on staying time, "temporary" (2-3Hrs) or "All night" (check out by 9am the next day). However, often enough these hotels weren't just used by couples but all sort of people, ranging from businessman looking for a cheap place just to spend the night, low cost traveler, to mob or gangster use it as a meeting place to conduct illegal business.
Amazing
Spending the bhat for trennies
They have a Jacuzzi in some of these too.
And it's totally anonymous no check in. All drive through.
Just wondering, would that place be perfect spot for crimes? 🤔
Very interesting reasoning behind the concept of a Japanese "love hotel" as a place where married couples can get away to themselves. In the US, the closest thing would be what were nick-named "no-tell motels" which were seedier, out-of-the-way, low-class rooms which were most often used by people having illicit affairs. Fees could be negotiated hourly, and the owner was expected to be discreet and respect the anonymity of the guests; but there wasn't much in the wat of amenities, and there could be criminal elements present as well. Married couples on vacation would go to more reputable, high-end hotels where they could get pampered with amenities.
Love hotels were not made specifically for married couples, just couples. Which is a much broader term (thus different demographics, including in economical sense). And they were, and still are frequently used for affairs.
The other US option is the “fantasy suites” hotels, which are packaged as more romantic and less seedy than the pay-by-the-hour no-tell. The rooms are usually themed (heart-shaped in-room jacuzzis for instance) and tend to be near popular tourist areas to cater to vacationing couples having a romantic getaway. The one in our area advertises jungle, medieval, and pirate themes. Never tried it but everyone jokes about it.
Motels on the west coast primarily house people in difficult living situations. I remember being a security guard for a motel 6 at the start of the pandemic and most of the problematic homeless people often had a room there.
The US has one hotel chain that only allows married couples to stay in the rooms, the rooms each have their own pool, and amenities, like private 2 car garage.
My father used to call them "tail motels".
I stayed in a "love-hotel" at my visit in Japan 2019, but it was more of an accident, I didn't plan to stay at one, since it feel it's somewhat weird to stay at a "love-hotel" on your own. I booked trough booking as I always do (for my own convenience
when travelling), and in this perticular scenario, the"love-hotel" was the cheapest option. And as you said, it's quite comfortable and luxurious considering how much you are paying, but as you also mentioned, this hotel was located quite a bit outside the citycenter, and there was some inconvenience to get to the city.
However, I as lucky to find some nice Japanese youth that drove me to the citycenter while I was asking for the direction to the station to take the public transportation, while I was at a convenientstore.
Interesting you were able to book a love hotel online. It seems typically you can’t book love hotels ahead of time and you just have to show and see what they’ve got.
A fourth caution that you should note Shogo, is that some hotels may be homophobic. An all girls night at a love hotel isn't unusual but some of them will reject an all guys group, even if they are clearly tourists.
I learned from a different UA-camr recently (who did a single video trying out a bunch of love hotels) that this has been illegal for several years, but despite this 2 of the 6 they tried did refuse service because it was 2 guys filming (them being foreign might have played a factor in ignoring this law). And this seemed to be more common for love hotels that seemed to be better quality; the one they went to that had terrible reviews and was filled with bedbugs let them in just fine.
@@rajamicitrenti1374 was it Chris and Connor?
I was wondering how LGBTAI+ friendly or not they might be including amenities which accommodate for different sexualities etc.
@@rachelcookie321 Yeah. I just feel wierd about advertising UA-camrs on other UA-camr's comments.
@@KraftyKreator 🤮
One of my dreams is to visit a few love hotels in Japan. However, I'm sad to hear they're getting rid of the flamboyant styles. The extreme ones actually got my attention cuz there are those of us who like to turn our bedroom experience into a theme park. I sure hope I'll still be able to enjoy the crazy ones someday.
In Brazil, there are "ordinary" hotels and also those called motel, witch indeed are just for hookups. Also, these motel are a greater idea than an hotel in a quick travel or one night only. They're cheaper, safe and privacy is mandatory.
Eu pensei que motel tivesse em todo lugar
Why would you want to hookup with a witch? She'd cast all kinds of spells on you!
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu cheap girls, probably
@@frds_skce Huh?
Opa c ta bão?
I stayed in a love hotel the last time I went to Japan and it was great. The room was amazing and really comfortable. We nearly missed out on sightseeing just because we were enjoying recuperating in the hotel so much.
Your way of presenting each video makes every topic you talk about interesting. Keep it up Shogo!
My spouse and I stayed in a love hotel in the Philippines. It was cheap and clean, but the most amusing “amenity” was a one way mirror between the shower and bedroom 😂
Did you mean a two way mirror? A one way mirror is just a regular mirror. A two way mirror is when a person standing on the one side of the mirror can see the other person on the other but they can’t see them back, just a reflection like a regular mirror. It’s used for spying and for observations like interrogation rooms etc. normally.
@@KraftyKreator Yes, two way mirror is what I meant, thanks!
Isn’t it cheaper to just make a one way mirror though.
That reminds me of the time my wife and I visited Munich, Germany. The shower and bedroom shared a wall but the wall was transparent glass! My wife fell asleep after a busy day. I flipped on the TV and watched a quiz show whose hostess was provocatively dressed in leather. She would invite men to call in and answer a question to win a prize. I understood quite a lot of the German language so I knew exactly what was said. One of the questions was "Name a German city with 5 letters in its name." A very shy fellow called in. He replied "B - E - R - L - I - N". It was so funny! She ripped him so badly.
Makes me think of the hotels in Final Fantasy when the party stays over.
Love hotels: perfect for couples, friends, and people trying to save the world
My wife and I stayed at a love hotel in Osaka during our honeymoon. Shee booked it for the price and for the supposed size of the room. We got there, and though it was a bit far from the city center it was the best hotel we had during our entire stay. Large room, large bed, breakfast included (delivered into a little slot), and the best bathtub/shower I've seen in my life! Oh! It also had a slot machine and massage chair! Much better than the 10x10ft Tokyo hotel
In Brasil we have love hotels too, they are called "motel". The same spelling as motel in the USA, HOWEVER BE AWARE. The meaning is different, and the suits are desing whit the purpose of love. They have options for short periods, like 2, 3, 4 ou 6 hours. And option for the nightstay. But u need to pay attention to the checkout time because it changes from motel to motel.
Ia falar agora que o nosso motel é bem diferente do motel americano kkkk
same here in philippines we call cheap hotels: motel
@@AmFFFers Oh in Brazil motels are not cheap hotels. Here, motels are these love hotels. They can be cheap and pretty shitty, but can also be super fancy and expensive.
@@incanusolorin2607 oh i see., here it's either 1-3 stars only that's why it's just cheap quicky motels.
I imagine tourists having some suprises when going over there.
When I was stationed in Korea I stayed at several overnight. I even used one for an eight day vacation, I found a lot of them to be very comfortable and affordable. I did not go for any of the “special designs” of the room other than the jacuzzi tubs.
I’ll never be speeding up your videos to 1.25 or more.
Youre so calming, the way you talk, your patience.
Your videos settle me down every evening.
I appreciate your work, keep that up!
a ten minute walk to train stations is considered inconvienient in japan? in my country that is considered a short walk!
Yeah ten minutes is even a short walk in the UK.
I definitely learned something today, and Shogo, this is why I love and respect your channel. Honestly, I thought Love Hotels were filthy cesspool of bodily fluids and are for unsavory people who wanted to get a little freaky deaky with their Sneaky Linky and then go on about their business. As always, Shogo, thanks to you, I have a better understanding of the Japanese Love Hotel Culture! ✌🏾😉✌🏾
The first "short stay" hotels I saw were on highways in America so people could sleep for a short time on a long drive. I've seen hotels in Australia which have short stays so people who arrive late on an international flight can have a cheaper rate for a short sleep before a morning domestic flight. But Japan is the only place I've seen love hotels.
You should have added the caution, two or more Men will be turned away from staying at several love hotels despite them technically not being able to do that.
One common thing in U.S. hotels is that items in the mini bar are overpriced and are a way for the hotels to make additional profit. Of course towels, shampoo and soap are provided (minimally). But looking at the images of the display of amenities, they remind me more of a U.S. mini bar arrangement, and thus I am curious if there additional fees for using any of the in room amenities.
From what I know of is you are only charged for things you order like food or “extra stuff” for your private time
I believe there are vending machines in the love hotel rooms with soft drinks and beer, and even love accessories. But those come at a price that are conveniently charged to your room and the prices are much less than US hotel mini bar prices. The goal of the love hotel is to have you stay longer, so the ameneties and food and drinks and all are all there to make you want to stay longer.
Some love hotels even have complimentary food and drink for you to take to your room. Almost like a US hotel sundries shop. But in the love hotel's case, they're free
I mean... if my wife and I ever could go to Japan... we'd be... uh, resting. So... yeah, it would kind of behoove us to stay at a love hotel.
Great video.
😂
😉😉

I was stationed in Yokosuka back in the early 90s. There was a love hotel near the base I was stationed at. Very impressive room. Huge bathroom with a glass wall so you could watch your gf/bf take a shower (very kinky)
I just remembered that Nintendo attempted to get into the love hotel business before they settled down with toys business and eventually, video game.
wait what... imagine them demanding a love hotel
Did you learn that from Matthew Taranto's "History of Nintendo" song? That's where I learned it from.
Nintendo copyrighted a porn parody of Super Mario once, which means that the video is an *official licensed* Nintendo porn.
@@ariannablove I don't know about that particular video but I learned about Nintendo's history from DidYouKnowGaming.
As much as I watched Shogo. I swear, he has never grinned as much as in this video... HAHAHA
And, as we know from "The Wolverine", they have really cool themes, like "the nurse's station", "the dungeon", and "mission to Mars". Try to find that in a regular hotel anywhere.
There are also themed love hotels in the Philippines, and they usually charge rates for 2-4 hours. Some of the bigger chains have recently been rebranding into more family friendly accommodations.
This was super interesting! When I visited Tokyo we stayed at what was advertised as a Ryokan / business hotel. My friend was slightly concerned that we might have accidentally booked a love hotel, but based on this video... no, it was not a love hotel but I surely will consider them when I visit Japan next time!!
I went to a love hotel in Japan with my fiancé a few times during a 3 week trip. We were sharing an airBNB room with two friends and unfortunately the particular airBNB we were staying at had roaches and rats.
So for a couple nights to be alone my fiancé paid for an overnight stay so we could get some sleep and take showers without other people in the hall needing it.
The bed was super comfy, they had all kinds of phone chargers, the bathroom was super nice, you could control the lights and heat however you wanted, the bathtub had jets, and there were amenities galore.
Make sure you get energy drinks beforehand though, my poor fiancé missed a couple days of the trip after the first stay we had because he was so tired.
But I still give that love hotel 11/10!
@@gigachad4811 there was a box of “balloons” and “oil” ready if you needed. And there were things like toothpaste and soaps too!
I think Love Hotels are there to resolve an issue caused by the architecture. Even apartments tend to have thin walls (not just traditional houses) where you might be able to hear your neighbours talk or have s*x (the older the building is, the more prevalent the issue seems to be..) So if you live in an apartment building and don't want to let your neighbours hear you "enjoying your wife" you are pretty much forced to go to the love hotel.
Sure, there are houses with better insulation and that might have thicker walls, but you will pretty much need to make sure of it before moving in and you will need to check with the real estate agent..
With the cheap rates, soundproof rooms, and many amenities, I was wondering why people don't just stay at them instead of the traditional hotel. Then you mentioned the "once you leave the room, you can't really go back in" and the way you post-pay instead of pre-pay, now it makes sense.
Hey Shogo, just wanted to say I plan on coming to Japan some time in the near future and gotta say as a country bumpkin from the states; your videos really help me understand what I want to do. Especially on the sword shop video! Really makes me appreciate the beauty of your culture. Keep it up and hope I could run into you someday.
Here in Germany we have something called "stundenhotel" what translates to "Hour-hotel" that is what comes closest to a Japanese Love Hotel :)
Shogo is a man of culture, hehehe 😏
I swear I love this channel XD
Never fails to put a smile on my face ❤️
In the US, there are two kinds of love hotels. One kind just motels that charge a lower rate by the hour, and are generally found in poorer neighborhoods. They are often nasty places most wouldn't sleep in.
The other kind (I'm thinking of Sybaris) are marketed as "romantic weekend getaways" for couples. They often have themed rooms (although Sybaris kind of doesn't, unless you view the theme as being "pools").
The other thing that serves a similar purpose in the state of Nevada are brothels, but in a brothel, the room is essentially a prostitute's office, and you won't be doing any sleeping there.
I realy love how wholesome Shogo is.
I keep on wanting to like the vid throughout your videos, but then I see I already have liked the video. So much quality and enjoyment.
This sounds like the best option for my SO and I if we ever make it to Japan. I've been wanting to visit Kyoto for sooo long so keeping my fingers crossed that dream will become a reality someday. 🤞🤞🤞
Your informative abilities are matched only by your quiet wit, sir. Marvelously presented.
I would love to check out a love hotel for "research" purposes, but I would be nervous to enter a love hotel by myself or if I'm traveling with family members.
Just fyi, you can't go into love hotels with children. It's no problem to go by yourself though.
Dude. This video was both informative and hilarious! Kudos to the editor!
interesting and informational at the same time! thanks for making this video. especially appreciate the subtitles
Thanks for the insight Shogo.
Also like the new intro✌
I like the way you speaks and the explanation very clear pronunciation
These are some high quality videos. Really aprecciated it!
I like how you explain things and yuor speech is very clear!
Shogo I love your voice after a long hectic day...you have such a lovely family. Thank you for educating us who find your culture fascinating...its deep roots in history and your respect for each individual sure could teach us westerners a thing or 2. Have a spectacular weekend friend
In California, we have a few novelty hotels for couples, but not for short stays and not cheap. The Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo has theme rooms, many with boulder walls and/or water features, and is popular for romantic getaways. My husband and I also love one Bed and Breakfast where there are theme rooms like a 1950's drive-in movie or pirate ship. This last is discrete in that anything that comes to your room (breakfast, etc) goes into a box you can access from inside without opening the door.
14:25 That's me! Been watching the news on this like a hawk. It seems like a visit to Japan is a pipe dream at this point. It's unfortunate - but I really hope they allow for tourism soon.
Great and informative video as always :)
Yet another amazing reason to Visit Japan 😏
My biggest concern about these particular "hotels" are sanitation/health procedures because of certain human fluids and items like beds coverings, towels washcloths etc. Just knowing what the "hotels" primary use is makes me think I'd have to carry a blacklight to run a sanitation check before I could determine if I would use a room. Or it could just be me I would feel very uncomfortable using any of these hotels because of the reasons mentioned.🤨🤔🧐
Golden tip! Thanks for the video!
Great job dancing around the topic of the original purpose of such places. I have seen that variety is another reason to stay at such places. Many will have special themes to their rooms, and I've seen a video by another presenter of one that had its own water slide.
Are you talking about Emma (tokidoki traveller)?
@@rachelcookie321 yes, that was the one.
I went to one once that straight up had "adult entertainment" onThe TV when we walked in xD it was unexpected, but hilarious haha
Thank you..will definitely consider love hotel for my next trip
The topic dodging was hilarious. Keep it up!
I had to push my Japan trip from March of this year to March of next so hopefully I'll be able to make it then! I'm definitely planning on staying a night at a love hotel and I'm so excited!
Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️
Such a great video, you had me laughing a lot!
In the U.S we have something kinda similar, though not nearly as luxurious or as accommodating.
They pretty much exclusively have the easy check in/check out policies and low prices.
Very interesting video. Love this channel
Just discovered your channel. I'm glad you've managed to get to 1 Million subs 🤘🏻👏 Really enjoying these videos. Also, I watched that video where you talked about the condition you've been struggling with. I sincerely hope you can recover and remain strong.
I love your channel so much，thank you❤
That intro is great, Shogo-san!
Thank you for the educative video.
this is an unexpected video.... I didn't know there were reasons to stay at a love hotel
Well presented, Shogo! Educational and interesting 🤔.
Let's go Shogo! I'll never probably get to see Japan so thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your videos.
I like the discretion of your descriptions. Though the purpose of such facilities is clear in your words, still you are able to draw a courtesy curtain. Arigato gozai mashita, Shogo San!
Here in Israel, we have something very similar. They call it a "tsimmer" (pronounced tsee-mer). Some are fairly cheap and some expensive, but they are designed for couples' special time. It started because like in Japan, people tend to live with multiple generations in the same household. A reason most people don't discuss is that there used to be very little divorce here, and many people here marry for social reasons rather than love. So "cheating" (quite often open marriage) is extremely common here. The unspoken norm is that once you are married and make babies, you've done your job and you're free to dally as long as you're discreet about it. Tsimmers provide this discreet way of having a comfortable place. Like in Japan, you'd rarely see the staff if ever. You just swipe your card.
I had never thought that Israel's cheating culture is similar to Japan's. Interesting.
@Rainbow Rose Princess Mishti It’s different if the marriage is arranged or you married because of family pressure and don’t love the person especially if you are both going about doing the same thing although it’s probably societally ok for men and not for women..... but I don’t know or not just a guess as it’s like that in a lot of cultures unfortunately.
@Rainbow Rose Princess Mishti you mean they never cheated that you know of. That's what being discrete is about. One does what they do, and the family doesn't know.
@@KraftyKreator here, it is considered somewhat more acceptable for men than for women, but Israel is fairly modern except for religious people. So people of all genders and orientations do what they do, with levels of "downlow" dependent on family and drama potential. Modern as it is though, an Israeli woman's public image is supposed to be a kind of frigid harpy who rules her household with an iron fist. The person who lures her out of her shell is supposed to feel like the lone dragon slayer or something.
Like Las Vegas, what happens in "LOVE HOTEL" stays in "LOVE HOTEL"!
Excellent essay 😃
In Germany love hotels are called Stundenhotel ( hour hotel ) because you can rent a room by the hour. I have never been to one but they have a bad reputation for being unsanitary. As brothels are illegal but prostitution is not, they are (as far as i know) mostly used fro that purpose.
Even Nintendo owned/operated a couple of love hotels before entering the videogame industry.
Why you wanna know? Seems a little sus to me 🤨.
@@SoapyTeaLeaves English please
@@PLATESWEEPER I’m not even talking to you, what is the point of your comment?
@@PLATESWEEPER I don’t know why people like you feel the need to have to stay stuff like that, as if anyone cares.
@@SoapyTeaLeaves You mean why I know? It is common knowledge at this point. I really don't know what is your problem.
Very informative!
This was very informative. Now I feel I should visit Japan just so that I can stay at a love hotel, without leaving the hotel at any point until I have to return home.
They're nice hotels. I love finding the cool stuff they provide. One my friend and I stayed at had an AMAZING bathtub with really cool lighting. Wish I had taken advantage of it like she did.
This was informative
I am from Croatia, and here we don't have "Love Hotels"; but when I first read the Title and heard you speak for the first few Seconds until I realised what you are saying, I thought that you are talking about Hotels that are Brothels! Anyone in Croatia would think about a Brothel if you say to them "Love Hotel"!
I'll never make it to Japan to see it but I love watching videos that discuss the Country.
This was a funny but yet intriguing video of a thing, I didn't expect to see on your channel, Shogo. 😁 I have no partner, but why not visit by myself, if I get to visit Japan in my lifetime.. 💜
I love watching your videos
We have those as well and call them Moteles in Puerto Rico. They vary in quality, some are raunchy some are really classy and a nice experience.
Hello Shogo!
This video is very interesting and now i am considering to try staying at a love hotel when i visit Japan one day 😁. One quick question, is it safe to stay at the love hotel? I don't know the exact situation in Japan, but i read that there are many hidden camera placed in love hotel room for example in South Korea (and possibly other countries too).
Thank you 😀
The cleanliness there🌀..💬
Now I realize the hotel I stayed in when I was in Japan was a love hotel. Very luxurious and nice. Though it’s a bit far from transportation. I’ll come back again when traveling is free of restraint.
Considering that Japanese flats have walls so thin that you can hear a fly crawling on the other side, I can certainly understand why people would want a quiet, comfortable place for romance.
interesting. nice to know. sounds great.
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, Shogo. I have watched many of your videos and shorts.
Never knew of the many details of love hotels, especially about them being used by solo people.
Here in Puerto Rico, these kind of hotels are called "moteles". Each room has a private garage where you park your car. Room service is through a special privacy window. I do not know about the stay rate and check-in/check-out process, though, since I haven't had the chance to stay in one. Yet.
They do offer many amenities for couples. They do have a seedy reputation, since they are a spot for illicit couples to have their alone time.
Although spread around the island, they are most concentrated in a municipality in the center, where the oldest road crosses through, connecting the capital with the south.
Brilliant I wouldn't have thought of that!! And I so much want to visit Japan more than any other country in the world before I die!!!! 🌍🙄
This will come in super handy if I'm ever not single and manage to make it to Japan.
Hi Shogo, you produced a great video as usual!! :-) Since you mentioned that most "Love Hotels" are at least 10 minutes from public transit, can you please talk about rental cars -- how much they cost and what fees people have to pay to travel via automobile?
An hotel where I'm able to give myself some love with a gigantic tv filled with videogames and food that comes to my bedroom. That sounds really nice. All out night of gaming with some lovely japanese food
So Shogo decided to reveal some *real* culture to us ;)
I'm just kidding, nice video as always!
"Culture" i know what u meant about that XD
Shogo is a man of culture after all
Here in Mexico we have motel, and each room has its own garage and prices varies depending of how much exclusivity you want, the only bad thing is the hygiene because the location, and there are a few motels in my town that improved a lot because these are located near the historical old town
Yes,in my country has some,Sarkem and Gang doli
I'm going to be moving to Japan for work soon, on short notice. I may be there for a very long time.
Thanks for making such great cultural guides, they are really helpful. I'm learning as much and as quickly as I can before I move in May. Hopefully I can learn enough of the language and culture to fit in.
I remember booking 2 rooms back in 2018 at a love hotel for me and 3 of my friends for a two week vacation it was a great experience and all 4 of us loved it. P.s. we were in Tokyo on the north western side cant remember the name of the area sadly but my wife(one of the friends) and I plan on going back in 4 years for our 5th anniversary
Since I saw these come up on UA-cam channels, (Popular subject to cover) ..I've always thought they'd be really useful places to hole up in the event I had a migraine or exhaustion (Or I suppose anxiety attacks like I used to get very often) otherwise ruining my day: dark curtains, simple food easily available, drinks, pretty ideal place to wait for dusk, I think. :)
There are Japanese-style love hotels in Taiwan. The concept exists because Taiwan has for decades been an important commercial/business/tourism hub for Japanese.
