金融危机当道,日本的情人旅馆业却逆市蓬勃发展,一派生机,也许在经济萧条时期,人们更需要情爱的慰藉吧。

They say you can't put a price on love ,but that doesn't mean you can't try. Despite Japan's deepest recession since World War II,the country's love hotel industry has hardly missed a beat. Don't be fooled by the showing socks. Love hotels are serious business. An estimated $40 billion year industry.Just off the highway near the town Besola lies the Bonita Hotel which pose 250 percent occupancy.That's right, each room is rented 2 and a half times a day.

"I would hate you in terms of recession prove,but it certainly has proofed both Brazilans for the last 6 months."

Steve Mansfiled operates 6 love or leisure hotels,he prefers to call them .Generally,they share certain features.First privacy.

"You just choose room and you go to room through yourself"

"So you check in without ever sproken with anyone." So it's your tone.

Rooms may offer Karaoke,video games ,custom suvinier and offer a bit of luxury.

"We have the television there, so I guess them to enjoy a float cute bath and television at the same time."

Business is good enough,Mansfields is looking to expand.

That's not even in a big city."Now prices in Tokyo are a little bit higher.This room for example run you about $190 for the night. What you get for that well.Your king's price bed,your big screen,flat screen TV ,feature mini bar ,you see just there.And a few things you don't see in every other hotel room.Got over here a gigantic cozying and on this side your personal sauna."

Why have love hotels done so well despite the recession.It's a natural human desire she says. Her boyfriend added even these days on the weekend, every love hotel is full.You can't stop sexual desire.But it's not all about sex .According into this very candied man.

"I go to a love hotel when I'm drunk.Don't feel like going home ."
Whatever the reasons they come to love hotels ,you don't take more than deem prospects to break the moon.
