Japanese hotel offers stays for 71p - but they will livestream you sleeping

The Asahi Ryokan in Fukuoka has set up a 24-hour livestream in one of its hotel rooms, so that viewers can watch the the entirety of the guests' visits.
The hotel is run by Tetsuya Inoue, 27, whose grandmother owns the property.
When the hotel room is vacant, Tetsuya posts a livestream of himself working in the office, with signs in Japanese and English to explain to viewers where he has gone when he leaves the room.
