Can you guess what the main reason for the couples to stay in a room without windows??? Mmmm...I was considering this sort of topic might not be suitable for our blog, but this is actually a type of accommodation widely spread all over Japan. So I think it is not fair to omit Love Hotels in my blog entries.
Yes, you can see all kinds of love hotels in almost every downtown areas, and along the major roadways as well. Some of the hotels are designed like an castle, or a large ship, or wrapped gift box. I bet you'll find those funny...
Believe or not, the history of love hotel is very old. It can be tracked back to the Edo period when Samurai still existed, and all the Japanese were wearing kimono and the top knot hair style. Actually the origin of today's love hotels were used mostly for prostitution.
By the way, since the fee is rather cheaper compared to a regular hotel, and since no reservation required, love hotels are occasionally used by backpackers and business persons to stay, but some of this kind of hotels refuse same-sex couples and single person to stay.
If you are interested in discovering this type of hotels in Japan, you might be better check it!?
