Japan is well-known for one of the most erotic country in the world. Some report that the more society develop financially, the more it gets erotic.WEll, who knows.
Japan got a lot of strange business regarding sex industry.
One of them is "Love hotel"-Hotels specially designed for couples to mate. It is said that its becuz houses in japan is too small to have night activities . Normally, Love hotels do NOT provide any prostitution. When I told this to my foregin friend,he was very confused then what love hotels are for,and badly disapointed.
By the way,Today's topic is not love hotels,but its "Video Viewing Rooms(Video Box,個室ビデオ、ビデオ試写". I wonder how many websites introduce this in English,lol.
well,in video box, you ll find a lot of small rooms,as small as toilet box.In there, there is basically chair,TV,computer with earphone(important). Its pretty much like Internet Cafe in Japan.
But the big different is,,surprisingly,,, the facility is specially for "providing a space for men to masterbate"! In the ground floor, there are lots of lots of AVs to choose from. After you check in at counter, you go to a room ,like video rental shops, then u choose some and take them to your small box room. You play the DVD with your computer with earphone(some box room dont require earphope thanks to soundproofing ) ,and lastly, ENJOY YOURSELF! I took my oversea fren there .He was terribly surprised and commented "I have never imagined that masterbation can create such business like this."
This can be a good place to sleep.
It provides shower, and even flat chair you can lie down, and it costs about 3000yen for 12 hours stay including one usage of shower and towel .So it is quite quite reasonable for hotel standard in Tokyo.
When I stayed at one of them, I found a piece of paper stating "We compete with hotles".
Its very clean,but I felt it was too cold with aircon at night. No branket.
the biggest problem is NO key! You can lock the door from inside,but you can NOT lock the door from outside(no key).. so when you want to go to toilet,when you go to shower room,when you change DVDs,anytime you are away from your box, there is potentially danger of theft. Ur bags or wallet in ur bags might be stolen. I think it is the biggest problem for travellers who normally bring big luggage.
Another problem is ,nt only in video viewing rooms but all over in japan, language problem. Staff probbly explain system of facilities ,but i think he can not speak any english..
Well, I do NOT recommend Video Viewing Rooms for tourists,but maybe it is itneresting to know japan got such crazy but uique place to relax,enjoy and sleep. well,Of course it provides hourly rates, so if u are intrerested in such place, maybe its good to try for 1 or 2 hours.
This is a brand I stayed once before.
