Sadly, we’ve never been to Japan, but if their taste for themed and simply spaced-out hotel decoration is anything to go by, we pretty much belong there.

So we’re going to start planning our trip right now, and being that we’re largely ignorant of Japanese culture and history (a shortcoming the journey will hopefully remedy), we’re going to use DJ Mick’s listicle of 12 Bizarre Japanese Hotel Rooms as our guidebook, starting with this pirate-themed hotel.
