Planning a trip? Finding the perfect place to crash usually involves balancing price, location, and amenities to ensure a comfy stay without breaking the bank.
But recently, a Japanese X user shared a wild discovery: they booked a business hotel for around ¥5000 (about $32 USD), only to find an absurdly huge bathroom featuring a super creepy spiral staircase! The whole vibe was so bizarre, they dubbed it an 'otherworldly dimension.' Their post blew up on X, with everyone wondering how such a place even exists.
According to the user, while the sleeping area in this ¥5000-a-night hotel was perfectly normal, stepping into the bathroom was like entering a whole different world. Not only was it massive and equipped with a bathtub, but it also had a daybed for lounging. The most perplexing feature, however, was the 'spiral staircase' leading absolutely nowhere. The entire setup was so unsettling, they joked it felt straight out of an urban legend, like a portal to another dimension.
Pictures alone don't do justice to the sheer size of this bathroom. The user even recorded a video, giving viewers a better sense of the space's oddity and showing the top of the mysterious spiral staircase.
Naturally, netizens were baffled by the 'spiral staircase.' "Why is this even in a bathroom?!" many wondered, commenting on the indescribably eerie atmosphere, likening it to an infinite corridor from a video game.
Others pointed out its uncanny resemblance to Level 37: "The Poolrooms" from the game "Backrooms," agreeing that it definitely didn't feel like a real-world space.
Some speculated it might be a repurposed love hotel, noting that the spacious layout and the adjacent daybed looked suspiciously like something straight out of an adult film scene.
The setup also drew comparisons to a "soapland" (a type of Japanese bathhouse), with many questioning why such a wide-open space with a bed would be in a regular hotel bathroom – unless it was, you know, for *special* washes?
Turns out, the X user, Murata Ramu, is actually a journalist, illustrator, manga artist, and photographer. He later shared a live stream from the location on his personal YouTube channel, revealing the hotel is located in Osaka. Still, for a ¥5,000 price tag, getting a hotel room with such an expansive and peculiar bathroom certainly makes one wonder what wild stories lie behind its walls...?
