Saitama might well have a reputation as a boring suburb of Tokyo but some places aren't as dull as they sound.
Japan might also be a nation with 25% older population but the seniors can't be accused of being anything but active.
One man was recently arrested for being a little too vigorous, in fact. 64-year-old Yoshio Shimazaki of Utsunomiya in Tochigi had some urges and knew where to do go to sort it out. He went to Saitama.
In November 2011 at a love hotel in Kawaguchi City he gave a female high school student ¥20,000 and then had her perform bondage play with him. At the time the ...
Recently the netizens of Japan got a chance to have an online Q&A with someone who used to work as a cleaner at a love hotel. Here's a summary of what they were asked and how they responded.
The person claimed to be in charge of making up the beds after guests were finished with their stay.
Q: There's no cameras, right?
No, only in the corridors and parking lot.
Q: Did you ever bump into guests?
Sometimes. But usually we were hiding away somewhere until the guests left.
Q: Can you hear the groans?
If the inner was left open we could hear. We could hear in front of the door.
Q: Is ...
Love hotels. Sites for naughty sex between adulterous couples, couples who still live at home, and of course plenty of liaisons with prostitutes too.
A little known fact is that one in four occupants of a love hotel is now said to be over 65, and the love hotels are adapting to these seniors.
With the Baby Boomer generation hitting retirement, seniors mean big business for everyone.
Seniors, though, naturally like to take things easily, so many hotels are offering longer versions of the so-called two or three-hour "rest" periods, so seniors can get the daytime cheap rate at their own ...
Our peers at fellow erotic blog Tokyo Reporter recently posted an interesting extract from a Japanese tabloid where a lady with a ten-year career in cleaning love hotels recounts some curious episodes.
“Once in a room I found an A4 size notebook left behind by a customer. It contained a written exchange between a man and a deaf women. First they introduced themselves. She wrote that she was working as an instructor for a school for the deaf, divorced, with one child.
“The two had apparently met via an ‘encounter site’ online.”
A woman using the pseudonym Kana Kogure, a 10-year ...
Ever fancied living in a Tokyo love hotel? One company, Tokyo Style CC, offers you the chance!
We just spotted this story over on the blog JapanTrends.com. Tokyo Style CC has converted a small, tucked-away love hotel in east Tokyo into a customized, designer set of apartments.
Although Shibuya and its love hotel hill are likely more conspicuous for foreigners, there are actually far more hotels in more dubious areas like Nippori.
Many of these are pretty run-down places and you wouldn't catch young couples dead in them.
You can see the results of the renovation ...
Japan is well-known for having lots of modern "religious" groups (shinshukyo), organizations that are registered as religions and pay none of the nation's hefty corporation tax.
Most are kind of vague spin-offs of Buddhism but spend most of their time dabbling in business, such as schools, baseball teams, golf clubs, real estate, health insurance and so on. Rather than believers in the strict sense of the word these religions have members, who are often employed by the organization as well.
Occasionally these are notorious, such as Aum, the cult group which carried out the sarin attack ...
Last week we saw really stormy weather in Japan, not just once but twice. Windows smashed. Trash was blowing everywhere.
One unlikely side effect of the weekday storm is that there were more guests than usual at Tokyo's love hotels. Yes, this kind of unusual weather is the perfect excuse for some hanky panky.
On April 3, many people were advised to leave work early but some took a different approach to seeking shelter from the forces of nature.
While most girls would have been worrying about the state of their hair and clothes due to the wet and blustery weather, the excuses the guys ...
Face with a male population overworked and too stressed for sex, or so-called "herbivore" soushoku danshi (草食系男子) guys who care more about shopping than pussy -- is it any wonder that local ladies are seeking solace...in each other's arms?!
That's the rumor!
I just read that lesbian OLs ("office ladies", i.e. the girls who slave away in Japan's air-conditioned, anonymous offices) are on the increase, according to employees at love hotels. And of course they see ALL of society pass through their doors.
Says one employee:
I've been working here for 15 years and in the ...
A 25 yr old college student and a 16 yr old schoolgirl used an internet dating site to sap a man's bank account.
According to Zakzak, the accomplices met on the dating site, got along well and came up with a plan to use the same site to make some extra cash. The high school student was in contact with several different men and targeted in on a 26 year old business man. They met and quickly decided to go to a love hotel. Once inside, the college student entered, forced the businessman down and hand cuffed him. The two accomplices got about ￥20,000 ($220) and then took his ATM card ...
Last week two girls were arrested in Shinjuku's notorious Kabukicho sex district for credit card theft. The pair of femme fatales stole the card from the dead body of a man they had been cavorting with in a threesome.
Naturally these ladies are suspected of being ladies of the night, not least because they are Chinese! The dead gentleman was a 46 year-old who had been picked up on the street by the 46 and 35 year-old ladies, and together made their way to a nearby love hotel.

However, somehow he ended up dead and they took his credit card, withdrawing over five ...
