• Love hotel

    December 11, 2022 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    When originally booking online I wanted a place as close as I could get to Kakogawa and this looked like it was close. Only upon arriving and having to get a bus then walk a fair while with my luggage did I realise it would not be a great place to stay. I got the lady to change the booking to one night instead and found another place close to the train station in Himeji for tomorrow. Interesting but I guess it makes sense that this has been the only place which didn't ask for ID or passport for the booking.
    The love hotel was very dated but was an interesting experience. There was a PlayStation, karaoke machine, Video on demand movies and of course most channels were censored porn. There was a wand next to the bed with condoms supplied and 2 small vending machines, one for drinks and another for toys/pills.
    The outside bath was nice so I got some sake and drank that in the bath to relax, then played some games on the PlayStation.
    I originally thought the rooms were quite soundproof but let's just say not enough for the night, the neighbours were quite loud and kept me awake for a while.
