How To See Japan In One Week: Part Seven


So you're wondering about our accommodations during our vacation???

Well, we're not really partial to hostels, though a few nights were spent in private hostel rooms. For the remainder of the time, we opted for the classic Lobu Hotelu!

Okay, Love Hotels are obviously a humourous idea to begin with, but just imagine the laugh-factor when you end up with one circa 1955 that screams ELVIS! Here's an overview of the rooms we stayed in; some classy, some themed, some hilarious.

Staying in a Love Hotel with ones mother isn't always easy. Sometimes the parking attendant doesn't say "Konnichiwa" before he rudely states: "Two women: NO!" Other times, as was the case in our second Osaka accommodations, they are happy to welcome us. In this case, the parking attendant was so enthusiastic about having us that he supplied us with a 50% off coupon for our return to Osaka. We happily took him up on the offer (after a lengthy search for the hotel) and were even happier to receive complimentary beers as well!





Please note that a few hotels weren't included as they fared fairly normal.
