Love hotels
Hotels that offer double rooms for short time periods of usually two hours during
the day and for the whole night (usually from 10 pm to 10 am). As the name
suggests, the main purpose of love hotels is to provide couples with a room to
spend some undisturbed time together.
Love hotels can be found all over Japan. Many of them can be easily recognized
because of their strange looks. In Tokyo exist some districts where many love
hotels can be found side by side.
A stay overnight costs about 8000 Yen. The room fee for two hours during the
day is usually a little bit lower, while on weekends, the prices can be much higher.
The reception at a love hotel is very anonymous. The guests usually choose a
room on a board by pressing a button and then pay at a little window where the
receptionist behind cannot be seen.
The rooms are equipped according to their purpose with large double beds, a
television offering erotic programs, a nice bathroom, etc.
Many hotels can be found at Love Hotel Hill in Shibuya.
