In Japan ‘Love Hotels’ are a lot like roadside motels, designed with the express purpose of facilitating ‘relations’ between Japanese couples who still live at home, and have no access to a bedroom away from their parents.
You can take a ‘REST’ at a love hotel – one hour, a cheap rate – or enjoy a full STAY which is up to eight hours and more expensive.
The Akasaka Love Hotel Haikyo (Haikyo is a Japanese term that means ‘ruin’) in Tokyo reminds us of the importance of that old adage: ‘location location location.’ Situated at the far end of a strip of Love Hotels on the Lake Tama ring road, it’s clear this place suffered for lack of passing traffic.
