muikabochi 208 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Was just talking about this with someone last night. Pretty strange that as far as I can think, there are no love hotels in Yuzawa. The nearest one I can think of is near the Shiozawa Ishiuchi IC. Then the next nearest ones further out I can think of are in Muikamachi. But still very few here. Was wondering if some towns basically don't allow them? Or if there's much opposition to them. Not that I want to use them of course you understand. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 There are a few around here. I think it's just a function of population density and whether or not you have a highway nearby. I haven't used one since I was... young, dumb and full of .....c....... Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well, you'd think near to Yuzawa IC would be a fine spot to have some. Busy IC, esp. in winter, and tons of people using it. Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Someone wanted to make one near where I live. They weren't allowed, local groups protested and apparently won. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 there were a few down in Shonan where I used to live, right on the beach. i didn't use them, well cos I had my own place, but a few friends did and said they were pretty nice inside. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Given all the internet porn it's really a wonder that there are any love hotels still in business. Guys just aren't the horn dogs like pre internet times.. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yuzawa is a long long way to go for a shag. I would have thought five minutes into Saitama or Chiba would be far enough to avoid bumping into the neighbours or someone from work. There's a bunch of them outside Nagoya around Inuyama, again probably for the same reason. Love hotels make their money by letting the room several times a day. You're not going to get many "rest" customers miles away from the city in Yuzawa. fwiw, I know that at least one large Japanese high-class hotel in Hakuba has an official policy of not contacting people about lost property in case they were visiting in secret. If its just an overnight stay, you just go as Mr and Mrs whatever and no-one (with a brain) asks any questions. Every hotel is effectively a love hotel. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well, I often go past the one near Shiozawa Ishiuchi IC. Almost always during day time. And I always take a cheeky look in to see if the curtains are down for each room (meaning there are cars in there). And of course cheer someone if they pull out from the love hotel into the road in front of me. Based on those observations, I would say that it does pretty good business. I would say there's more traffic using Yuzawa IC than there is Shiozawa Ishiuchi IC too. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Re: the eyeball licking, the story about Japan you're supposed to believe this week is that some otaku walked home 800 miles in 10 days to Tohoku after being mugged at a trading card conference in Kyushu. That's three marathons a day for 10 days.... Link to post Share on other sites
