AN ABANDONED Japanese love motel featured bizarre rooms for randy couples like a bonking boxing ring and fairground-shaped beds.
A British explorer has searched through the derelict motel found two hours outside of Tokyo and snapped pictures of the disused rooms.

Ben Stevens, 30, looked through the “well preserved” themed rooms that reportedly haven’t been used for nearly a decade
But, he said he “wouldn’t want to run a UV light over anything”.
The Spaceship Love Hotel was for randy couples who needed privacy away from their families in a country where generations would live in small houses together.
But it also operated as a kinky brothel for anyone wanting to fulfil a fantasy in one of the specialist rooms.
Themed rooms include a boxing ring for warring couples and even a Playboy casino room shaped like a roulette wheel.
Another room features carousal horses that rotate around the outside of a bed in a carnival themed room.
A futuristic themed room had a moving space ship and shiny mirrors all over the walls to see any aliens probing each other.
Another fairground themed room has a raunchy red chair which two people can sit in and a spinning wheel someone could be tied up to and spun on.
The hotel was abandoned in the late 1990s as social norms and lifestyles changed in the land of the rising sun.
Cambridgeshire man Ben found the bottom floor of the building has since burnt out in a fire – but the rest of the motel was largely untouched.
He said: “It’s just not something that not many people would get to see in person – let alone it being abandoned.”
Since it was abandoned it has become a favourite of urban explorers who like searching through the raunchy rooms.
In 2019, a Dutch explorer also searched through the motel – but found it in a better condition at the time.
Bob Thissen said: “In Japan you often get multiple generations living in the same house, so people used to come here to have some privacy and fun and get a break from their busy life.
“You can only find love motels like this one in Latin America and Asia.”
To avoid having to talk to staff and keep the intimacy going, lovers could put their cash into a pneumatic tube which would be fired into another part of the hotel.
With that they could order drinks or whatever they desired for their time in the motel.
Guests could also communicate with staff by phone or a radio system that allowed them to call down to the workers.
Another love hotel in Japan features a dancing DDR SuperNova machine for couples who want to dance together.
Hotel chain Hotel Eldia have sites across Japan, with a wide variety of rooms that aren’t the kinky sort.
Punters can play air hockey, do rock climbing, and beat bongos all from their hotel room as they spend time on their own.
But, it does have ‘specialist’ rooms with couples able to do naughty karaoke, dirty darts and a virtual reality Playstation.

A WOMAN has revealed what it’s like to spend the night in a Love Hotel in Japan.
When Fiona Wang and her boyfriend James spent two weeks travelling around the country, they knew they had to stay in one of the famous Japanese hotels.
Japanese Love Hotels are a type of accommodation in the country where guests are given privacy to allow for intimate activities.
For Fiona and James, their curiosity drove them to spend a night in a the famous “hookup” spots – despite not being the target market for such facilities.
In a video Fiona posted on Instagram, she showed users how the check-in desk had a frosted screen that protected the privacy of the guests from reception staff.
The 27-year-old lifestyle content creator and Co-founder of the Fluid Project was shocked at the amenities the hotel had to offer.
Fiona told Sun Online Travel: “They [the Love Hotel] had skincare, hair care, multiple straighteners, face masks and condoms.”
Compared to other types of accommodation in Japan, Fiona’s Love Hotel room was spacious too.
She said: “The rooms were also great, there were movies, you could dim lighting, there was karaoke machine and background music of your choice.”
The bed had a control panel where all of these features could be changed with just the touch of a button, and there was a massage chair in the corner too.
