Japanese hotel sells room for 70p if guests agree to be livestreamed

A Japanese hotel is offering a room for just 70p a night – but there’s a catch.
Guests that stay in room 8 have to agree to livestream their stay on YouTube, in return for a room rate of 100 yen, or $1.
“This is a very old ryokan and I was looking into a new business model,” hotel owner Tetsuya Inoue told CNN.
It’s not the first time a quirky hotel concept has opened in Japan.
In July, the Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu launched the Superior Cockpit Room, which includes a 90-minute cockpit simulator experience.
