Unknown Japan: Highlights for the Curious Travelers

Love hotels

While we’re on the topic of unusual accommodations in Japan, here’s another that deserves an honorable mention. Love hotels. Yes, as the name implies, these romantic spots are geared toward couples. While many traveling couples simply want a nice, clean room in which to spend the night, keep in mind that there are themed rooms based on some rather bizarre and kinky subjects. Since most of these hotels don’t have front desks, you will generally have to pay via a machine that gives you the room key.
