  • I stayed at Hotel Korakuen/ホテル公楽園 in Niigata Prefecture. It’s the most affordable accommodation in the area, attracting enthusiasts from all over Japan with its vintage vending machines and arcade games. You can’t book a room online; reservations are only accepted over the phone in Japanese. They do not accommodate reservations in English, which is why there’s hardly any information about Hotel Korakuen in English.

    12:00 "Nearby means a 1-hour round trip on foot", I'm already in love with your dry humour. 😅

    Amazing how even the most dank and creepy Japanese motel seems so much safe than most places in western countries.

    Bonjin is brave like samurai warrior. No dingy hotel with broken vending machines scare him!!

    A plane, a train, and a death defying 30 minute walk, shows your commitment to your followers. I guess the journey is worth it for the wallpaper alone.

      Walking 30+ minutes in japan is pretty common

    this is the first time i see japan's actual rural community. also the unmanned train station is something out of a horror novel or slice of life.

    Nissin needs to bring more of their products to the US. I see a lot of things in your and other creators videos, and I get rather jealous that I can't experience those foods myself.
    Thank You for allowing us to tag along on your trip.

      We need more products over here in the UK, too. You can find a semi decent selection of cup noodles over here, but more would be nice.

    As soon as you arrived at the hotel I recognised it as Korakuen! It was in the first episode of an excellent Japanese comedy drama series called Nihon Boro Yado Kiko, where the two main characters are touring Japan and can only afford to stay in shabby hotels. As the video mentioned there are many shabby hotel enthusiasts who seek out old run down hotels to stay at. Awesome video, thank you for going there! 😃👍

    What an interesting hotel! Scary, yes, but I appreciate the efforts they make to maintain the old vending machines. In any other country they would be long since discarded.

      Japanese version of The Bates Motel.😯😯 I just couldn't sleep there. I would go visit the vending machines & book it to another newer hotel.

    That motel looks really intriguing. I would like to visit it, for the ancient vending machines, because that totally something that makes Japan so special for me (for all the "crazy stuff"). It looks like in the middle of nowhere however. I dont mind that everything very old, as it is clean. What I definitely dont like however, it that apparently everything smells of cigarette smoke. That is a definitive no go for me. Still, thanks a lot for sharing.

    Please if you go back there, can we take a look at more of the machines? The gaming ones too. I love seeing what games they somehow have in such obscure places. Like that time I spotted a Metal Slug cabinet on a rare ferry route tiny arcade room.

    Disappointing that you had to fly there and they have so little to offer. Im guessing their customers are mostly truck drivers who just want a cheap room.

    It is comforting to know that you can still find a plain old hotel in Japan that is not some 21st-century, sterile, magna-strewn, overpriced nightmare.
