There were several around the towns where we lived in Northern Japan.
There was one down an unmarked dirt road a couple of miles into the country, in a thinly wooded forest.
It was organized like a toy village, with quaint tiny pink and white cottages, with gingerbread architecture. Each had a little entrance porch, and was only big enough to contain the front sleeping area, and a bathroom behind. The central area was for parking. And an "office."
The story was, Japanese businessmen would bring their secretaries there for the "lunch break."
I never found out how much they rented for.
Given the tightly controlled Japanese cultural norms, I never understood how people did this. It was an "open secret." They weren't Puritans, by any means.

Did you see any of the "Love Motels" in Japan?
Not this year, but in Osaka last year, probably yes.
