Love Hotels Make Twice as Much as Anime - Anime News Network
From Anime News Network:
According to research cited in Japanese Love Hotels: A Cultural History, by Sarah Chaplin (242p. published by Routledge, available from Amazon), 30,000 Japanese love hotels earn more than 4 trillion yen per year in profit, which is twice the profit of the Japanese anime market. Approximately 1% of the Japanese population checks into a love hotel every day, and according to one study, 50% of all Japanese sex occurs in love hotels. Source: The Japan TimesFour TRILLION yen. That's about 34 BILLION dollars. Yikes.

So I can only guess the only people who can check into these hotels are Native, not foreigners.
Are these hotels similar to what we call rooms by the hour where people get hooked up just for the proverbial F buddy or is this something more like a house of ill repute?
Do they take reservations? What's check out time?
