Love hotels are short-stay establishments operated for the purpose of allowing couples a little privacy to get it on and can be found almost anywhere in Japan.
Stereotypical love hotel customers are young couples still living at home or middle-aged businessmen who use them for illicit affairs. However, many love hotels have recently begun to see an increase in elderly customers, a trend which some in the industry consider a “gold mine.”
