This dude must have spent 20 minutes, while i was there anyway, stretching in all manner of ways on a park bench in Yoyogi Park.

Love Hotels are plentiful in Japan and when i say plentiful i’m not joking. I can’t speak for areas outside of Tokyo but considering their popularity here i’m thinking other major cities would be just the same.

Within a few minutes of most major stations in Tokyo there’s a bevy of Love Hotels for the couples wanting to spend a bit of quality time together. Living arrangements in Japan are very different to that from back home, with many adults staying in the family home up until marriage and even after depending on your locale.

So what do couples do when they want to get a little jiggy? … They go to a Love Hotel.

“Apparently” the prices vary depending on where you are, i.e Kabukicho where there’s lots of nefarious activity, and night life in general, it will be much dearer than say Hon-Atsugi, where i work, where there’s less flow through traffic (girls) and more than likely less spare $$ floating around. As to be expected, the quality of the room is going to vary with the price tag.

It’s pretty easy to spot a Love Hotel and many have really classy names in English so just look for a tacky sign with rooms by the hour and you’ll be on the right track. If you’re Japanese is good enough and you’re prepared to do some planning then why not use the “LoveHoMap” site, catering to several of the bigger stations on the JR Yamanote Line.

Update - Gallery added to the bottom of the post.

It’s hard to imagine Aki Hoshino (ほしのあき) could ever look bad but with a stocking on your head even the best looking girls look pretty ordinary.

But i can’t do a post on Aki Hoshino without showing a picture of her at her beautiful best. For plenty of great pictures of Aki Hoshino you can check out the gallery over at Kineda

It is just a coincidence the last 2 posts have been on Bikini Models, a busy weekend which finished too quick with too much rain yesterday meant i didn’t get out and about and see the next stop on the JR Yamanote Line this weekend.

Having said that, i do have a soft spot for Aki-chan and she’s officially on the list of people i want to meet while i’m living in Japan, and i’d also be lying if i said this is the last time she’d feature on this site.

If you liked this you’ll probably like Aki Hoshino as the first J-Babe Of The Week and also the J-Babe Of The Week series in general.

Upcoming Japanese Bikini Model Hirano Aya has either done something very smart (publicity wise) or very stupid indeed for the photo shoot for her upcoming 2009 calendar.

And now how it should be worn.

First seen on Tokyo Mango

I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, Shibuya is the place to be. Whilst on my way to meet Billy for a few beers i ran in to Tila Tequila and she was nice enough to stop for a photo.
