Here’s some good information about love hotels in Japan and Asia. I have personally gone to many in Korea and I have to say, they are like 1st class luxury “humping” hotels where you can pay for how many hours you use.
|
The love-hotel industry is one of Japan’s most profitable. It accounts for more than ¥4 trillion a year, a figure nearly four times than that of the profit of Toyota Motors, double that of the anime market, and a trillion yen more than the annual takings of the Japan Racing Association.

|
Supporting this are 30,000 love hotels nationwide providing places for the 500 million visits that take place each year. Some 1,370,000 couples use a love hotel daily (1 percent of the total population of 127 million people on any given day), and one research project has calculated that half of all sex in Japan takes place in a love hotel, and that consequently a large part of the country’s offspring is conceived in one.

Here’s an interesting architecture in Japan you must check out when you are there.
| The insane architecture you see above is the aftermath of a baseball stadium being abandoned in Osaka Japan; a new opportunity revealed itself and brought a bit of green regeneration to the urban jungle. |
| Judging by the ticket sales, people Osaka didn’t seem to care too much about baseball, so in 2003 the stadium was abandoned. Notwithstanding this, being situated near the Namba Train Station (the first stop from Kansai Airport) has its advantages: it is a place of great economic importance and the site therefore couldn’t go to waste. After several ideas and plans, the site’s owner, Nankai Electric Railway finally decided to convert the area into an amazing rising garden complex: the Namba Parks. |

Here’s an interesting landmark in Japan, the Atom Bomb Dome!
At the beginning of the Hiroshima
area economically, Hiroshima responded to the need for a central facility
through which to expand trade routes. Plans were drawn up for a commercial
exhibition hall on the banks of the Motoyasu River. Construction was completed
in April 1915, and the new building was named the Hiroshima Prefectural
Commercial Exhibition HMI. It was formally opened to the public in August that
year. In 1921 the name was changed to the Hiroshima Prefectural Products
Exhibition Hall, and again in 1933 to the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial
Promotion Hall. During the war, as Japan’s economic fortunes worsened, the hall
was commandeered for such governmental, quasi-governmental and rationing offices
as the Chugoku-Shikoku Public Works Office, the Hiroshima District Lumber
Control Corporation and others. |

Here’s some Japanese drinks you will have to promise me to try if you goto Japan.
| 1. Hoppy- Now, Hoppy is actually a beer flavored non alcoholic drink. If anyone’s tasted beer, it’s bitter aftertastes can make you feel like throwing up. I don’t know why anyone would want to have a non-alcoholic drink that tastes like beer? I thought ppl drink beer because it’s a cheap source of alcohol. But this drink sorta defies it purpose for me. But I suppose, it’s easier to accept that some peoople just like the taste of beer. The only beer that I can tolerate and actually like is Bud Light. I guess Hoppy is mainly a mixer drink - most commonly with Shōchū (a Japanese distilled alcoholic beverage). |

Check out some of this really crazy rice field art in Japan! (I wonder if they do this for fun…)
| Rice field art in the country of the rising sun. Each year these guys make new images on their field by planting rice in different patterns making various images. They use different sorts of rice for color. The result is amazing as you can see. It’s a pity they only last as long as it’s time to harvest the rice.- |
