A love hotel is a short-term accommodation for adults that emphasizes privacy, convenience, and amenities. In practice, this means discreet entrances, quick check-in terminals, and rooms with amenities not found in typical business hotels (e.g., oversized bathtubs or Jacuzzis, mood lighting, large-screen TVs, karaoke systems, massage chairs, and sometimes themed décor). There are also two common price types:

Kyukei (break): A short stay, usually 2-4 hours. Ideal for an afternoon break or pre-dinner relaxation.

Shukuhaku (accommodation): An overnight stay. Check-in is later than at a typical hotel (e.g., late at night), with check-out in the late morning or early afternoon.

How to Check In

Many love hotels in Susukino emphasize anonymity. Here’s the general process:

Select your room using the touchscreen panel or wall display.

Receive a card or code or receive instructions at a discreet counter.

Go straight to the elevator. Many accommodations will escort you straight to your room, eliminating lengthy front-desk interactions.

Payment is often made at check-out using an in-room self-service kiosk or a small lobby window. Many accommodations accept cash and major credit cards, with some offering contactless payment.

Tip: If you’re using the system for the first time, ask for “one night, please” or “accommodation (shukuhaku) / shukuhaku onegai shimasu.” If you’re only staying for a short time, ask for “break (kyukei) / kyūkei onegai shimasu.” Our staff are experienced and will be happy to assist you.

Price Basics (What to Expect)

Prices vary depending on the room type, day of the week, and season. In Susukino, the following services are generally available:

Breaks: Usually last a few hours, reasonably priced for convenience.

Accommodations: Rates are comparable to mid-range city hotels, with surcharges for larger themed rooms, weekends, and holidays.

While the exact price will vary depending on the hotel and your dates, plan to stay within the same budget as a comfortable city hotel. When you consider perks like private spa baths, karaoke, and late check-out, these are often cheaper than luxury boutique hotels. If you’re traveling during a major event like the Snow Festival, arrive early to secure a room.

Can I make a reservation?

In the past, many love hotels didn’t accept reservations and operated on a first-come, first-served basis, with a sign indicating the number of guests staying. However, these days, hotels allow online or phone reservations, especially for overnight stays and higher-grade rooms. If you’re thinking of a specific theme or special occasion plan (such as anniversary decorations or dessert plates), look for hotels that clearly state “reservations accepted.”
