This is an abandoned hotel in Kagawa prefecture, Japan. I've been to lots of abandoned hotels before so usually this wouldn't be particularly interesting to me, but this one had a squatter living in side it, and it became probably the only time I was legitimately scared by urban exploring. I'll try to tell the story with the pictures.

Front of the hotel

Sneaking around the back

4.
VHS pink film collection scattered around the back

This part on the bottom floor seemed to have been somebody's house

Getting into the hotel now

15.
I'm starting to notice that there is definitely somebody still living here. There is cans of food and clothes hanging up to dry in different parts of the hotel.


16.
View from the room window looking down the mountain.

So I walk into this room and I know right away that this is where the squatter has been living. There's beer, coffee cans and porn magazines spread all over the room.


19.
Takin a closer look at the porn


20.
What the FUCK! It's all torn out advertisements for these rubber woman face masks. This is some serious buffalo bill shit!! After seeing this I'm expecting the guy to pop around the corner wearing one of those masks and I'm legitimately terrified. It rubs the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again.


21.
Of course I decide to keep exploring, fearing that this guy is going to come home any minute.


22.
Hey there's an onsen on the balcony. That's kind of cool.


23.
So I get to this bar/lounge room.


24.


25.
Hey what's it say on the wall?


26.
Oh shit! Does it say "PLEASE HELP, DIE ME" or "PLEASE DIE, HELP ME"? Either way that's scary as fuck


27.
Then I start going through this pitch black hallway and I run into this. All this bedding is piled up blocking this door. What's behind the door? I'm not going to find out! This is scary as fuck man!! I'm getting out of here!!!


28.
Now I'm pretty much running fleeing from this building before Japanese buffalo bill slaughters me and stores my body behind that door. I still have time to take pictures of this one last room before I escape though.

And that's my story. Thanks for looking!

Did you keep any of the porn you came across???

Also digging #24

Posted by xXxStrangeRxXx Did you keep any of the porn you came across???

Nah man that'd be going against the urbex code of honour (is that what it's called?)

I will admit I came across some hentai abandoned on the side of the road in Japan one time and held onto that tho

Japanese Buffalo Bill ...Hahahahaha! You are cracking me up over here! Very interesting hotel and pics. REALLY enjoyed the tour! Thanks!

So weird! Nice shot of the balcony

It's always a treat to find an abandonment with so much left behind within. I love the Japanese architecture for this building, it's quite interesting and great and catching the eye. Great shots man!

The view off that balcony is amazing

Why does it look like the parking lot lines in #2 were just painted??

The "VHS" tapes in #4 aren't VHS at all.... Those are 8-track tapes!! I can't even remember the last time I saw one of those....

Nice set! I would have been creeped out too - even during the day. Lots of homeless can be insane with drug use and/or mental illness. However.... Despite being creeped out, I would have forced myself to peek behind door #27...

Cool explore. English graffiti in Japanese place is weird though

Squat with a view! Japanese Buffalo Bill livin' large! I love the way you told the story with your pics. Great stuff!

awesome location, and great view.

sad to see the current state of it but at least some homeless people seem to take advantage of the remains.

Some things look way too new for an abandoned hotel, I mean, like those booklets with girls or dolls, whatever. Also, why is this place abandoned in Japan, where each piece of land is so expensive?

Abandoned places can already give me the creeps, but having a squatter in there? That's a whole new level of spooky! 😬 I can totally relate – I'm not a fan of places that give off those unsettling vibes. If I were there, I'd probably be out of there faster than you can say "ghost." Anyway, if you're up for a change of scene and want some good vibes, you should totally check out broadbeach hotels. They're all about good times and relaxation, minus the goosebumps. Stay safe out there, and keep those chills at bay.

This is so cool! I'd love to explore places in Asia like this.
