The Corpse Hotel

January 26, 2012

Where to go when you’re dead tired:

The Lastel Hotel can host up to 18 recently-deceased guests at a time in refrigerated caskets. The nightly rate runs about $160. This is no gussied-up city morgue, mind you. The Lastel offers hearse and funeral services, viewing rooms for family, as well as sells a variety of caskets and urns. It’s all very convenient, were you alive to appreciate it.

There’s even video, with Japanese subtitles (that might be saying “Ha ha! You Americans actually believe this!? Ha ha!”)
