Love Hotels

27th April 2013

 

 

From the Azalea Festival Ground - we walked through the Yanaka district - an old part of Tokyo passing through streets with little arts and crafts shops, temples and cemeteries dating back to the 18th century or older. We passed by a temple on the grounds of which is  where the founder of the modern Tokyo Medical School was buried.

 

We took the train at Nippori Station and stopped at the next station to check out some of the 'love hotels' near the station. As most Japanese homes are small in size - courting couples are served by these 'love hotels' where rooms can be booked for a duration ranging from 2 hours to up to 12 hours. Some of these hotels have different themes to suit their customers taste.
