Putting the 'hot' into 'hotel' consenting adults get free sex toys, can hire maid or schoolgirl costumes - and have access to the 'Teddy Bear Room'. Massage lotion, condoms and sex toys aren't common freebies in most hotels that Brits check into on their holidays. But then we're not used to the culture of 'love hotels', short-stay hostelries run purely for the purpose of sexual activities. Love hotels are a staple of Japanese culture, but they have long since mesmerised the West, offering loved-up Japanese the chance to check in and turn on for hours at a time.
The Japanese culture fan is originally from Maidstone in Kent, but since he moved east on the Jet Programme to become a teacher, the expatriate has created an online hit with the popular YouTube channel Abroad In Japan where he showcases the weird and wonderful from the Eastern nation. The year-old, who has lived in the country since Japan , says their popularity is not surprising, "given how many families in Japan live in multi-generational households". Heading to a discreet hotel The Hotelion in Sendai , the capital of Japan's Miyagi Prefecture, Chris reveals the aforementioned kinky kit featuring Honey Drops body massage lotion, Big Honey condoms and a bright pink sex toy which looks to have ladies in mind.
There is also a cosplay catalogue for lovers to hire costumes, including schoolgirls and maids - the most popular of the 50 selections. Chris orders a princess and air stewardess uniform, and then explains that the food and drink menu is reasonable in an attempt to lure guests to stay longer than they had planned - thus falling foul of the 'pay as you stay' system of room rental.
Many of the love hotels include jacuzzi baths, and Chris' also features mood lighting in the bathroom. Tellingly, the unscented soap is perfect for people who want to visit the hotel secretly and evade detection by others in their lives. Chris reveals that the weirdest element of the hotel, it had to be a "Teddy Bear Cave". From the costumes to catalogues filled with escorts and 'amateur wives', the swanky pad offers everything a guest could ask for in the seduction line.
