Balian Resort Forest Ikebukuro

For a slightly kitschy “love hotel” experience, head up to Ikebukuro (a few stops up the Loop Line from Shinjuku) and check out the BaliAn Resort Forest Ikebukuro. It’s a “premium love hotel” with a tropical theme.

[BaliAn guest room]

In the minds of some Japanese people, the island of Bali is associated with romantic holidays and naughty getaways. This explains the tropical Bali theme going on here. Sure, as soon as you walk out the door, you’ll find yourself in Ikebukuro, which is a far cry from Bali, but it’s a fun fantasy while it lasts.

There is a variety well-kitted out rooms including some with large bathtubs (of course) and wide-screen TVs etc. There’s also a lounge with free snacks and drinks. It’s hardly luxurious but it’s fun and the rooms are well kept.

So, for a bit of a lark and a good story for the folks back home, why not take a trip to BaliAn?
