"Crying Rooms" Start at $84 a Pop for Tokyo's Weeping Women
If you get stressed out in central Tokyo, then you could bust it by walking into one of their interesting "crying rooms" which is complete with "soft tissues, make-up removers, steam eye-masks, warm sheets and a selection of soppy movies," according to rt.
The Mitsui Garden Yotsuya hotel in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo offers female-only rooms, and has also started another one for women to weep in private.
Each one has some unique services, including 12 heart-rending movies such as Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks, and another set of weepy manga comics from the Japanese publisher Maruzen, said the hotel's spokeswoman.
Targetted at women to help them overcome their emotional problems and weep their stress away, the hotel can be booked at 10,000 Japanese yen per day (around $84) and will be available until August 31.
More unusual stress busters include cuddle cafes called Soineya, which is a "sleep together shop" offering customers "a chance to rest in the arms of a young woman for a fee" although sexual advances are not allowed.
Currently a room costs around $85, according to jezebel.This is a specific promotion price that will be open only till August 31, after which the room rates will either shoot up or disappear.
