*LOWER YOUR VOLUME* [Mr. Shishido moaning]

If you need the toilet quickly, you need not run around the room,

如果你需要快速上廁所，你不需要在房間裡跑來跑去。

There's a reason there's an estimated 37,000 love hotels across Japan,

日本全國估計有37000家愛情旅館，這是有原因的。

worth around 40 billion dollars to the nation's economy.

I mean, it can be difficult to enjoy such luxuries as privacy and intimacy

我的意思是說，要享受隱私和親密關係這樣的奢侈品是很困難的。

when you live in a multi-generational household with walls made of paper.

當你生活在一個多代同堂的家庭裡，牆壁是紙做的。

Now you could go and blow your pocket money by running off to a standard business hotel.

現在你可以去吹吹你的零花錢，跑到標準的商務酒店去。

Or for just 20 bucks, you can stay for two hours in what is

或者只需要20塊錢，你就可以在這裡呆上兩個小時，在什麼是

essentially a miniature soundproofed theme park.

基本上是一個微型隔音主題公園。

I've covered love hotels a few times over the years now,

這些年，我已經報道過幾次愛情旅館了。

and I'm always fascinated by the wacky and absurd room designs used to entice couples,

我總是對那些用來吸引情侶的古怪而荒誕的房間設計感到著迷。

but recently through a charismatic friend who owns a chain of love hotels in Sendai,

但最近通過一個在仙台開愛情連鎖酒店的魅力朋友。

I was given the opportunity to see behind the scenes for the first time ever

with an all-access pass to a brand-new love hotel.

In this video we'll explore three different themed hotel rooms,

在這段視頻中，我們將探索三種不同的主題酒店房間。

discover what tactics love hotels employ to keep customers staying for as long as possible

發現愛情酒店採用什麼策略讓顧客儘可能長的停留在這裡？

and have a look behind the curtain to see the management systems put in place

並在幕後看看管理制度的落實情況。

Simply put by the end of this video, you'll be an expert on all things love hotel.

簡單地說，通過這個視頻的結束，你會成為一個專家的所有事情愛酒店。

And like me you'll probably wish we had a similar alternative outside of Japan.

像我一樣，你可能會希望我們在日本以外也有類似的選擇。

Before we go though, I've recently noticed

不過在我們走之前，我最近注意到

YouTube has been doing a pretty poor job promoting Abroad In Japan videos,

YouTube在推廣《出國日本》視頻方面一直做得很差。

And I suspect it's got something to do with the swearing,

and the lack of fluffy gumdrop rainbow bunny rabbits needed to satisfy YouTube's algorithm.

以及缺乏滿足YouTube算法所需的蓬鬆的膠捲彩虹兔。

If you are subscribed to the channel, be sure to hit a notification bell

如果你訂閱了該頻道，一定要打通知鈴。

And it means you'll actually get notified, when the new video is released.

這意味著你將真正得到通知，當新的視頻發佈。

You'll be very much at the front of the queue,

and not at the mercy of a spectacularly flawed algorithm.

而不是任由一個漏洞百出的算法擺佈。

So the first thing you usually see when you walk into any love hotel

所以，當你走進任何一家愛情酒店時，你通常首先看到的就是

When I select options, the types of room and the length of your stay,

當我選擇選項時，房間的類型和你的逗留時間。

We have four different types of room depending on the size

根據房間的大小，我們有四種不同類型的房間。

and then beneath that you can see the price.

You can see here the short-term price, the short stay price.

你可以在這裡看到短期的價格，短期停留的價格。

‎¥‎2,900 for one to two hours of stay

or you can stay the whole night for ‎¥‎6,500.

或者你可以花6500日元在這裡住一整晚。

it's a lot cheaper than the usual business hotel.

比一般的商務酒店要便宜很多。

Once you've got your ticket, and you've chosen your room

一旦你拿到了你的票，你選擇了你的房間。

and your length for your stay, come over to the desk

以及您的逗留時間，到服務檯來。

Notice how you can't see the staff at love hotel.

注意，你怎麼看不到愛情酒店的工作人員。

You don't need the staff, they don't need you.

你不需要員工，他們也不需要你。

So, this is our first of three rooms, room 221.

所以，這是我們三個房間中的第一個，221房間。

I have no idea what's behind this door, but, well here we go.

我不知道這扇門後面有什麼，但是，我們走吧。

Looks like it's gonna take us a while to, um..

Although the corridor, the maze-like corridor,

雖然是走廊，迷宮一樣的走廊。

Let's go and pursue things a little bit further.

You imagine like coming back here a little bit drunk,

你想象一下，像回來這裡有點醉。

trying to find your way to the bed and then just being kind of like,

試圖找到你的方式 在床上，然後只是一種像，

Apparently the owner, Shishido-san, who's a rather kinky rascal,

很顯然，老闆志志堂先生，是個相當淫蕩的流氓。

he likes to put these everywhere because, in his own words:

他喜歡把這些東西放在各處，因為，用他自己的話說：

"You never know where you gonna end up in a love hotel room".

"你永遠不知道在愛情旅館的房間裡你會在哪裡結束"。

We haven't even made it to the bed, and it already, we've had

我們甚至還沒有做到這一點，在床上，它已經，我們已經有了

some possibilities here - for other places to sleep.

這裡有一些可能性 - 其他地方睡覺。

Anyway, let's carry on and hopefully one day we'll find the bed.

不管怎樣，我們繼續吧，希望有一天我們能找到那張床。

one cushion, two cushion, three cushion...

一個墊子，兩個墊子，三個墊子... ...
