Visit One of Japan’s 25,000 “Love Hotels” (they’re probably not what you might be thinking!)

If you think the title’s referring to a Japanese version of a Red Light District, you’d be wrong — sort of…

Love hotels are specially designated places where “couples” can go for a little privacy.

These places aren’t anything like your typical Hyatt or Best Western though, and they’re certainly not a dingy off-the-beaten-path sort of dive that you’d pay for “by the hour” either.

They’re actually quite nice. Clean, well cared for, if not a little bizarre in some cases. A perfect place for you to spend a night or two with that special someone.

Check out this review video for an inside look into some of the glamorous and even downright quirky atmospheres some of these hotels offer in their rooms! (profanity warning)

My, oh my. Did he say there are 25,000 of these hotels — just in Japan?

Love hotels are big business obviously, and I could think of worse places to spend time with a loved one.

How about you?

The themes are really interesting. Check out these rather bizarre themed hotel rooms:

And hey, nobody’s gonna judge you if you want to spend time with hubby at the “Hello Kitty Suite” or the “Gundam Room” at the Hotel Grand Pacific. That’s what fantasy and role play are all about.

Will you, or have you ever spent time in one of these Japanese love hotels?
