Totem sponsored by Oki
I have previously blogged about sponsors being present in shintoist temples, and how even Coca-Cola has its own presence in the Meiji Jingu temple. Outside of the Meiji Jingu temple there are also many totems, tablets, torii gates… which are sponsors by local companies or donated by individuals. Normally the company names are written with Japanese characters and company logos are forbidden. However, sometimes there are exceptions, like for example this totem that caught my attention with the logo of Oki, the renowned electronics and printer manufacturer.

Love Hotel Cosplay
In the Love Hotel in the pictures “costumes”/Cosplay are available to be worn by the girls. It is something offered by many love hotels, however I have never seen Cosplay being offered for boys. You have to pay an extra fee to be able to use these costumes, but on the other hand Wii and DVD Players are available for free in all the rooms. They also give you a free drink to your choice. Which costume would you choose for your girl? Bunny? Schoolgirl? Nurse? Maid? Secretary?
