Love Hotels: Japan’s (not so dirty) Secret
First things first: this is a Love Hotel. If you don’t know what that is, I recommend looking it up. There is definitely a certain connotation regarding Love Hotels, which is why this is so incredibly affordable. But I have to say: this was one of my favorite experiences in Japan. The room was over-the-top themed, yet way more luxurious and less tacky than I anticipated. It was absolutely immaculate and clean and far more spacious than any room I booked in Tokyo. It’s also right in the heart of Umeda and close to everything.
The staff are very accommodating but you will absolutely never see them. They value discretion and privacy in this type of establishment so if you run into a staff member in the hall they will literally turn the other way and run to hide behind a curtain.
The one strange thing is the lock system: they don’t give their guests keys and you have to buzz in to open your electronically locked door… that includes leaving the room too. I will admit, the idea of being locked inside my room outside of my control is strange and scary, but I never had a problem opening the door.
I am now recommending Love Hotels as my number one tourist secret to all my friends visiting Japan. Pay no attention the sexual nature of the place (or do! Do you!) and you have a really amazing and luxurious stay right in the heart of downtown Osaka.
