What are love hotels? Simple definition:

A love hotel is a type of short-stay hotel found in Japan operated primarily for the purpose of allowing couples privacy to have sexual intercourse

Now that we know what love hotels are lets discusses them a little. Love hotels are meant for couples to engage in sexual intercourse, but why go to a love hotel? Two main reason’s paper thin walls in Japanese apartments, and regular hotels are to pricey when you only need a few hours at most. Japanese love hotels come in many shape’s and seizes from normal love hotels, to wild and weird ones which were going to disscuss below.

School girl fantasies it just wouldn’t be Japan with out them so of course this cliché had to have a love hotel theme.

Hello kitty love hotel, well not much to say here but if you don’t mind having intercourse in kawaii room then this is for you!

Alien abductions, yes people are into this so why not have an out of this world experience and try this love hotel out.

Train groping, something which many fantasize about, but dare not do can not live out their fantasizes slap free and jail free.

Like anime? This room is for you, anime and manga pictures decorate the wall’s as an added bonus handcuffs are included. ( Wondering if otaku would bring their 2D waifu’s here)

Pictures portraying the Edo period Japan decorate the room. The room is of ” Historic Japan” Japans Edo period was know for sexual deviation

Saved the most disturbing for last. This Love hotel theme is of a carnival, a place for pedophiles to live out their fantasies in closed door’s.

For Atsushi Nakanishi, jobless since Christmas, home is a cubicle barely bigger than a coffin — one of dozens of berths stacked two units high in one of central Tokyo’s decrepit “capsule” hotels.“It’s just a place to crawl into and sleep,” he said, rolling his neck and stroking his black suit — one of just two he owns after discarding the rest of his wardrobe for lack of space. “You get used to it.”The rent is surprisingly high for such a small space: 59,000 yen a month, or about $640, for an upper bunk. But with no upfront deposit or extra utility charges, and basic amenities like fresh linens and free use of a communal bath and sauna, the cost is far less than renting an apartment in Tokyo, Mr. Nakanishi says.

Hotel Shinjuku 510’s capsule hotels are roughly 6 ½ feet long by 5 feet wide. Each capsule is furnished with a light, small TV with earphones, coat hooks, a blanket and a pillow. Other possession’s like clothes are kept in lockers. The hotel does feature a common room with couches, a dining area and washrooms.
