I was lost in tokyo, every hotel was booked. I got lost on my way to the hostel and the doors closed there at 10:30pm. After wandering for a few hours I stumbled upon a love hotel. It was about 12:30am, every legit hotel was booked and I asked if I could have a room. They refused me service cause I'm a foreigner. I'm serious to. She pulled out a card that said something like "Because we can't speak English, we refuse to book a room to foreigners."

I WAS HOLDING CASH IN FRONT OF HER FACE!

Only use them if its a last ditch effort. Actually scratch that, if you have a last ditch moment, go to a 24hr internet cafe and stay for the longest you can; usually 5 hours. They vary between 500-1000 yen per hour and you'll have your own cubicle. I contemplated this after the love hotel mess.

Plan out your trip better than I did. But if you don't plan it well, you get cool stories to tell people when you get back.
