It's ''hard'' to have anything approaching an adult relationship in Japan. Especially the Japan of anime. Once you get past the obstacles of [[Loser Protagonist|attracting any attention]], actually getting around to [[Meet Cute|encountering an amenable romantic interest]] without [[Naked First Impression|blowing it from the get-go]], running the gauntlet of [[Love You and Everybody|finding]] [[Love Letter Lunacy|true]] [[The Nose Bleed|love]], and sidestepping [[Love-Obstructing Parents|typical]] [[Childhood Marriage Promise|anime]] [[Mayfly-December Romance|romantic]] [[Cannot Spit It Out|obstacles]], there is still one suprisinglysurprisingly difficult issue.

Japan is crowded. Japan is expensive (well, Tokyo's expensive, and [[Creator Provincialism|nowhere else counts]], right?). As a result, even if you're of age to engage in certain physical activities, you probably don't have any private space in which to do that and not get caught. You may even be living with your parents, which is a [[Parents Walk in At the Worst Time|whole other level of uncomfortable]]. Even if you can manage a rendez-vousrendezvous, your six-''tatami'', underlighted, cluttered room with the one-person futon isn't likely to inspire romance. And unlike your North American counterparts, you likely don't own [[Auto Erotica|a car]] and only advanced, highly acrobatic positions tend to be possible on a bicycle, even with the kickstand down.

So, what's a couple to do, at least without acting like a [[Hentai]] pair (iei.e. [[Making Love in All the Wrong Places]] ) and using any location within two minutes walk of where the mood strikes?

Enter the love'''Love hotelHotels'''. Over the last number of years, the love hotel industry has become quite profitable. They are locations which specialize in providing a place for a couple to have sex.

* In [[William Gibson|William Gibson's]]'s ''[[Idoru (Literature)|Idoru]]'', several characters rent a room at a Love Hotel, mostly to make use of their room's internet connection.
