Need a few hours of alone time with that special someone? Then you should visit a ridiculously named love hotel.

The Japanese website goo ranking conducted a survey to determine Japan’s funniest love hotel names and the results are in!

Care for a rest?

The survey was published on January 2nd and is based on the answers of 250 mean and 250 women. The total amount of love hotels on the list is 49. However, because much of the humor in these names gets lost in translation in this article we’ll be looking at the top 5, plus some of the strangest and most humorous entries from the bottom 44. So, without further ado, let’s get started with number 37.

37. Hide and Seek Club

Very appropriate. A lot of hiding goes on in love hotels.

I hope pink mochi doesn’t cause people to choke to death like the regular kind.

(たぬきＬＡＮＤ – tanuki LAND)

Given

that tanuki (raccoon dogs) are often depicted as having large

testicles, I can’t help but think this is a reference to testicles…

Don’t you hate it when beavers feign ignorance?

Great for those that need to brush up on their human anatomy.

4. The Demon Bag of the Raging Tanuki

Think of this as the love hotel version of “Who’s on First?.”

2. So…

(と、いうわけで。 – to, iu wake de)

49 votes

Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture

As

in, “So… you wanna go to a love hotel?” Both subtle and direct at the same time. While not the funniest name on the list, it is definitely

one of the more clever ones. If you’d like to see this hotel’s website you can check it out here. They have a nice “equipment” page.

1. Banana and Donut

(バナナとドーナツ – banana to donatsu)

52 votes

Ogi City, Saga Prefecture

I have nothing to add, the name speaks for itself. And yes, that is their real logo that you see in the upper left of the screenshot you see above.

If you’d like to check out their website you can do so by clicking here. They have quite an extensive food menu and plenty of pictures of their rooms.

So there you go, now you know the funniest love hotel names in Japan. Hopefully, you were able to find one that you can visit next time you go to Japan, even if it’s just to be able to say that you stayed there. Don’t worry, these hotels all offer overnight stays as well and usually their rates are very reasonable. In fact, many times they are cheaper than a regular hotel. Plus, you can take advantage of all their special amenities!
