Landing early? A love hotel 'rest' gives you a bath, shower and bed for hours

Instead of waiting for hotel check-in after an early economy flight, one couple booked a 3-hour 'rest' at a love hotel: big bath, good shower, amenities, massage chair and a bed to nap in, for far less than an extra hotel night.

Check first: Couples-oriented; some love hotels refuse same-sex or solo guests or foreigners. Rest (kyukei) rates vary by time and area.
