"There are many things to do other than sexual relationships." Unexpected love hotel...Foreign media also said, "Surprised." [This is news]

Recently, foreign media reported that young people in Japan visit the "Love Hotel" and enjoy various leisure facilities such as karaoke in addition to sex.

CNN released an interview with French photographer Francois Frost, who conducted a road trip on the theme of love hotels across Japan on the 21st local time.

"As a result of the visit, most love hotels had no windows or fake windows," the interview said. "We were protecting privacy by using self-service check-ins and other design features."

"After the Japanese government outlawed prostitution in 1958, Love Hotel has boomed as an alternative facility for prostitution," Frost said, explaining the history of Love Hotel.

"But today, love hotels have mainly couples living in apartment houses as their main customers, rather than having anything to do with the prostitution industry or infidelity," he added.

"Recently, young Japanese people are visiting the Love Hotel to protect their privacy," he said. "These days, we are paying attention not only to sexual intercourse, but also to leisure facilities such as karaoke and nightclubs."

Love hotels are relatively common in other Asian countries such as Korea and Thailand, and some hotels and motels perform similar functions.
