About the Guide
About the Guide
LOVE HOTEL GUIDE JAPAN is a guidebook that presents Japan's love hotel culture as a travel destination in its own right. It's not a search engine, and it's not a review site.
About the Stars
Stars aren't a scorecard of amenities or price. They reflect how strongly our editors felt "I want to come back" after an actual visit.
Selection Criteria
Every hotel featured here has been visited and experienced firsthand by our editors. This isn't an exhaustive directory — only places we'd genuinely recommend as a destination.
How We Evaluate
Signature Scores aren't a comparison of facilities — they're a record of how a stay felt. They reflect our editorial point of view, not a general industry standard.
Editorial Policy
This guide does not accept payment from hotels for coverage. Stars, scores, and placement are never influenced by advertising or partnerships — they reflect our editors' independent perspective.
About Affiliate Links
Some pages include links to booking services. We may earn a referral fee for bookings made through these links, at no extra cost to you, and it never affects our ratings or which places we feature.
