Staying at a Hotel with Vintage Vending Machines in Japan

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.

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

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

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

Wild that you FLEW , not to mention all the other travel, to eat some sad sandwiches. I admire your dedicaion!

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.

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.

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.

Great video, you captured the mood of a quiet old motel in Japan reminded me of 80's movies. Keep it up, maybe try talking I always want to hear peoples voices in a vlog.

I really enjoyed watching this video, love the vintage atmosphere and the yummy looking food! Thank you for taking us along in this exciting trip! Please keep it up and stay safe out there! 🙏🏽

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.

@kathrynblack9152 3 ай бұрын

I agree. The smoke smell definitely kills it.

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.

@LyingSecret 3 ай бұрын

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.

You are way braver than I am. I would take one look at the building and turn around.

I don't like hotel doors that open outwards; it's unsafe. 😂 Geeze Louise, a can of beer in my city in Canada costs $3.45!

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.
