Tokyo love hotel rents out schoolgirl uniforms based on actual elite Japanese schools
Japanese love hotels, as we know, come in all shapes and sizes, with every manner of themed room imaginable seemingly available somewhere, though the most adventurous examples tend to be found out in the countryside rather than central Tokyo.
They also increasingly offer a wide range of amenities, especially bathing and food items, though also karaoke, video game consoles, WiFi, and tanning beds — and even Dance Dance Revolution.
Twitter user Zoe recently spotted an interesting service available at a love hotel in Uguisudani, the east Tokyo neighborhood with a particularly high concentration of cheap and dirty love hotels.
Guests can rent replica schoolgirl uniforms. The 18 different outfits are based on actual uniforms from schools around Japan, so you can live out your fantasies of a session in a love hotel with a student from one of the elite schools by dressing up your partner.
The first uniform is free, while extra uniforms are available at a cost of ¥500 each. You order from the room by calling down to the front desk. Unfortunately, Zoe did not specify which Uguisudani hotel he was staying at, though searching in Japanese for hotels in that area that offer cosplay options seemed to bring up only one — Hotel Savoy.
As observers have pointed out, the uniforms are labeled with the thinly disguised names of actual elite institutions like Shirayuri Gakuen High School in Tokyo’s Chiyoda ward or Ferris Girls’ Junior & Senior High School in Yokohama.
