Love Hotel in Ikebukuro
The Hotel Fooo in Ikebukuro is a “Love Hotel” which means you usually don’t check in to sleep. Depending on the time of day and how much you pay, most patrons are required to leave within 4 or 5 hours. Run by the Happy Hotel Group, ホテル Fooo (フゥー) is right across the street from a Buddhist temple and cemetery (本立寺) that I was checking out. If you look closely, you can see I didn’t bother to get off my bike to take this photo. My A’s hat rested proudly on my head at the time.
