If you’re visiting Fukuoka, Japan, on a budget, there’s a hotel that has you covered: you can stay for a paltry 100 yen a night (about $1.20 Canadian). The catch? Visitors must agree to let the hotel live-stream their stay on its YouTube channel. So far, more than half a million viewers have tuned in to watch strangers sip tea, read and, once, watch a guest attempt to play Twister by himself. There are some restrictions to the livestream. It is video-only, so viewers won’t be able to hear guests’ conversations, and the bathroom area is out of camera range. Guests are also able to turn the lights off in the room. |
