I Went to a Dodgy Japanese Dinosaur Love Hotel

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Would you guys stay here? I’m on the fence! It was great fun, but the doors really changed my opinion 😬 ALSO about the doors! This is how we didn’t notice about the lock: Every time we left the room before, we called to book things like the bath or the leisure space, or going to the lobby, so they unlocked the door and we didn’t realise. Then they told us to call from the phone in the hallway to be let back in, which seemed ok. But then trying to open the door for Sarah and it being locked from the inside too made us realise, and we called to confirm and they said yes call us every time you want to leave or enter your room. Hope that makes sense!

[@chiwogi9734]

I would! It looks fun, but like you said, if there were a fire or earthquake…

[@XSemperIdem5]

It was all fun and games until the prison door. That's enough for me to not stay there. And the fact that you apparently weren't even warned about this makes it so much worse. Like, I want my money back because you didn't disclose a safety issue level of bad.

[@XSemperIdem5]

@@davidbee7394 every other hotel has do not disturb signs. They could have made some dinosaur themed do not disturb sign that said something like "do not enter, excavation in progress" and that would also be a good pun for a love hotel.

[@gautrstafr]

I would though the door thing is weird, shouldn't lock you in. It should only lock you out

[@svenp.8378]

Nice theme hotel, but loked doors are a tital NO Go

[@julesdr1169]

Y'know what, at least they didn't half-ass it. They had an idea and full sent it. I can't even imagine how much all of those animatronics/live aquariums/hallway short-throw projectors cost (a ridable raptor in your room!). And if you don't mind the decor, the room seems to have a lot of amenities, like a sauna booth, lie-down shower along with the big jacuzzi type bath, and the massage chair. Not even mentioning the rides, arcade games, onsen, and free and discounted food!

[@TokidokiTraveller]

I know it was actually really good? The only thing was the doors! Like it felt super messed up not being able to leave your room without calling the front desk… but everything else, although janky, was super fun!

[@julesdr1169]

@@TokidokiTraveller Yeah, was so fun watching you and Sarah! Apart from the door incident, I'm glad you both seemed to actually enjoy the stay.

[@redorzed]

But you went out twice to go upstairs and get food ? Is it only autolock after a certain time? Rest of the video was great fun 👍

[@sadoldguy4380]

@@TokidokiTraveller It has to be some kind of crime prevention, particularly theft and certain"paid" activities.

@@sadoldguy4380 I though that too, but if you're scared that much for your stuff, maybe not open a hotel. People still have to pass the lobby before leaviing so locking up people seems very unnecessary (and dangerous)

The auto-lock at the door is definitely a tragedy ready to happen. I would also feel very uncomfortable with it.

[@bulbasaurusthe7th841]

As a socially awkard person who usually intentionally organises things to need the least posible human assistance? Yes, I agree.

[@DiggingForFacts]

I honestly don't even know how they'd be getting away with that in Japan. I can't think of a single country I've been where any fire inspector would be fine with "this door auto-locks off your route to the nearest fire escape."

[@BladeRedwind]

@@DiggingForFacts Yeah, that makes ZERO sense to me. I'd honestly try to report them.

[@travellingtanuki2645]

I’ve been here, the lock that auto locks is at the top of the door and you can break a plastic shield over it to manually unlock it. It even says ‘in case of emergencies, smash this cover and unlock the door’. That said it was an unpleasant surprise to have to be let out like a toddler 🙄

[@FuryousD]

@@travellingtanuki2645 i mean that just seems unnecessary and time consuming if u are in an emergency u want to get out asap and not be fucking around with smashing something to get out of a door that should not be locked automatically.

[@arcticblue2]

Yeah, every love hotel I've been to has had the auto-locking doors. Very annoying especially since now some love hotels are trying to market themselves as normal hotels and attract visitors. The only one I've been to that didn't auto lock was because the place was pretty run down and the door was literally broken. In case of a fire or something, the doors are supposed to automatically unlock. There may also be an emergency button somewhere in the room that will unlock the door. Still seems like a huge fire safety risk though. Fire safety is something Japan doesn't really seem to consider all too seriously - every single Don Quijote I've been to is also a disaster waiting to happen and the convenience stores with swinging doors that open inward to store also seems unsafe (if you have a crowd of people all trying to leave in a panic, it can become difficult or impossible to pull the doors open to leave due to everyone cramming near the door)

[@FuryousD]

that seems like so much of a safety hazard,, i get in a love hotel people want their privacy but that is why u have doors that u can lock manually even in regular hotels, automatically locking the doors is something u would expect from a prison not a hotel.

[@lngun]

I get the feeling that this wasn't originally a love hotel, but along the way they decided to market themselves as one.

[@MegaTrolleybus]

There might have been a clearance sale of assets from a dino themed amusement park that went under or something. Owner(s) bought the junk and slapped together this tacky abomination. Room looks nice though.

[@MrNateM]

If it was, there was a major, major renovation. A hotel room that is more than 50% bathroom with fixtures like a shower table and two person jet-tub means only one thing. The dinosaur stuff is a lot cheaper than all of that stuff.

[@paddington1670]

I would have really enjoyed staying here when I was 8. Now? well it's somewheres to sleeps me head.

[@Splitt13]

The most important question: Do they offer dino shaped chicken nuggets on the menu? xD Or veggie nuggets, you get the idea. Dino shaped crispy stuff.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

They don’t! They should have sacrificed one of the hundred animatronic dinosaurs in order to have budget for Dino nuggets

[@BurittoSandwich]

No dino nuggies no business

[@jacksons1010]

Wild guess - the hotel was built to be family-friendly, didn't do so well, and now they are trying the "love hotel" concept?

[@mememaster147]

I wouldn't be surprised if some people park their kids in play area for a couple of hours while they use the room.

[@becks5867]

Oh my word! This place looks like so much fun, but so bizarre it’s got kid things, and they’ve gone to so much effort with the dinosaurs for a love hotel. It’s like they had two developers: one wanted a family hotel, the other wanted a love hotel.

[@Marshmallow_Embers]

I'd assume because parents bring their kids then go do the deed, and pick em up. That's the only reason I can think of.

[@Ariplaygames]

Fun theme but the door thing is unsafe and insane. I dont know about the laws in japan but that definitely doesnt sound legal

[@acmenipponair]

I guess in case of emergency they will unlock the doors. I would say this unlocking from downstairs is mostly for privacy reasons, so that no staff or other person can get inside your room while you are on it and had forgot to lock the door.

[@FuryousD]

@@acmenipponair i mean u can do that with regular doors that have locks on them, why does it have to be an automatic lock?, if u forget to lock the door that is on um having them automatically lock makes it feel like u are a prisoner not a guest.

[@Eidlones]

@@FuryousD Apparently, it's to help prevent people from leaving without paying, on top of protecting privacy (People crossing paths in the hallways while leaving/coming in). It's pretty common for love hotels

[@FuryousD]

@@Eidlones i mean any normal person wouldn't leave without paying, and as I said if u want privacy u lock the door yourself. If its a private hotel then people who shouldn't be there shouldn't be there ie paparazzi so there shouldn't be any worry of bumping into someone else who isn't in the same situation as u ie wanting privacy.

[@Eidlones]

@FuryousD Well, "to keep people from not paying" is stated as one of the main reasons why they do it, so, I assume it's been an issue before. Especially considering the quick in and out nature of the place. The privacy isn't about people walking into your room. Japan is a very closed off society in terms of personal things. It's not about paparazzi, it's about people knowing that you're there. That's why they have private car parks for love hotels, and even plates that go over your license plate to maintain anonymity. The ideal is that no one knows you were ever there, regardless of who you are. Despite how brazen they are with decorations what such, they're still considered very taboo in Japan.

[@prekatori]

This doesnt really look like a love hotel, except for the no staff check-in

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Yeah there was the adult toy next to the bed, adult videos on the Tv, and other sexual things you could order from the menu. I think they should ditch that stuff and unlock the doors, it would be a lot better 😅

As always the chaotic energy is top-notch and super fun to watch! Loved the bit where you tried to play the Jurassic Park theme lmao

[@XSemperIdem5]

I actually like how they went all out for the whole experience even as you're making your way to the room. If anyone ever rode the Back to the Future ride at Universal Studios, that whole experience just getting to the ride as they split you into groups and go through different steps. But this place lost me with the prison door. Nope. What if whatever controls the staff uses to open the doors fails in an emergency? What if a fire starts inside the room for whatever reason?

[@pH15cHy]

It's a liopleurodon charlie, a magical liopleurodon 🤣

[@TokidokiTraveller]

I was SO CLOSE to adding in that audio haha I regret not doing it

[@Meh_Lone_Bah]

I think they locked it bc it is sharing the same hallway as other new guests who get to experience the flashing lights and the ambiance of the projector screen. They didn't want the ppl in their rooms to come out to ruin the experience for the newcomers. But that is scary they locked u in and can't get out. There should be a separate door and hallway for the guests to go in and out and leave the hallway experience as a one-way street and u can't go back out there again

[@alexshaw8167]

This is a good point!!!!! It was late at night at the time but it’s a love hotel so I guess that’s probably normal. They had no problem leaving earlier in the day!

[@LaNoir.]

I don't thiink any experience justifies to be locked into a room

[@terri3715]

it has nothing to do with the experience, this is how locks work in the majority of love hotels.

[@icollectstories5702]

I think the point is to make sure you are not seen by any other guest. You might not run into your spouse, but perhaps your boss?🙈 The illusion of confidentiality is important. Personally, I'd trust my boss more than the staff.

Just when you thought you'd seen every love hotel in Japan.

[@countertony]

I'd be interested to hear a response from the hotel chain on the door-locking thing, if you wanted to reach out to them either "as a member" or as a reviewer. At a bare minimum I'd hope it'd be like office pass-card security, where where they fail unlocked if the power goes out or an alarm is tripped, but I'd also be hard-pressed to imagine a situation that warrants having to call out to leave the room under any circumstances (get back in, sure, but leave?) so I'm not going to trust them to have thought about failing safe.

[@MrNateM]

It's to allow then to track who is coming and leaving the room. Love hotels in urban areas are pretty much where prostitutes ply their trade, and given the anonymity of love hotels and the nature of the folks who run prostitution orgs, there's a lot of potential for security concerns. Of course, the door situation creates a separate sort of concern, but the way people in Japan think about the situation, it seems like they're generally ok with that tradeoff. (oh, I shouldn't understate the fact that they don't want people letting a ton of people into the room to rip off the hotel either - that's no small factor.)
