Nobody could pay me enough to stay at a hotel like that. I wonder if they've ever had anybody die on them from hypothermia??

The summer passed and fall set in and I was shivering just as much as the people around me, at those same +5 C temps! *grin* When I arrived in Japan in January ’90, coming from Ontario which had temps of -35 C with the windchill, the +5 C temps were “warm” enough for me to walk around in short sleeve shirts much to the amazement of the shivering people around me.

"atsu, atsu, ... demo samui" ^^ -3°C is cold if you're not accustomed to it, especially if you don't wear clothes. In Germany, the lowest temperature this January was about -30°C, fortunately not where I live. ^^ I only had to endure -12°C. I loved his reaction in the bath.

Here in eastern Canada, we had a bit of a cold snap last week where the daily high temps never got above minus 20 (before wind-chill adjustments) for several days in a row. It's a veritable heat wave now at minus 10! I imagine that an ice love hotel would not be too popular, especially among those afflicted with performance anxiety. Loved his reaction to the cold bath.
