  • 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.

    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.

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

    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.

    The "toasted" sandwich is made with bread that was toasted when the sandwich was assembled, then reheated later by the vending machine. I wonder if there are any modern vending machines that can toast the bread and assemble the sandwich on demand. If a vending machine can make pizza from scratch, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

    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.

    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.

    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.
