Hotel Fūki

Osaka


There are few love hotels like this one left in Japan. The decor riffs on the courtesan boudoirs of the Heian era (794–1185), late 19th-century Europe and the swinging sixties. The more elaborate rooms (one has a bed in a wooden boat) cost ¥8950; there are pictures out front. Note that check-in is not until 7pm.
