Love hotels or “rabuho” are the Japanese equivalent of a “no-tell” motel, where couples can spend a couple of hours (or the night) together in privacy. The idea was born during the post-war period, where young couples often still lived with their families and needed somewhere for their special romantic moments together. The Hotel Love was the first of its kind to open in Osaka in 1968, which was followed by thousands of love hotels opening across the country. The hotels normally have hourly as well as nightly rates. Stays are typically anything from two to four hours, or overnight until around 10 am. Scroll below to view some of the best love hotels in and near Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Japan.
