Japanese hotel for the dead

The last refuge for the vast majority of people is a cemetery or urn for the ashes, even in exotic Japan. But it was in Japan before the cremation of the dead can stay in the penultimate resting place - the hotel for the dead invented by resourceful gentleman Hisayushi Teramura. Why a hotel for those who already do not need, and what service can count the dead - read on.



The fact is that Japan is very little vacant land - in fact in a small country is home to over 127 million people! And about 1.6 million of them die annually. As you can imagine, cemeteries in Japan is not listed too: after all, the last resting place for the dead will take thousands of hectares of land, which is so needed alive. The most common method of disposal here - cremation. But even that still need to wait: in crematoria have waiting lists, and considerable. What do family in which someone died recently? Put an expensive dead in the center of the main room for a week and wait for their turn? No, go to the hotel for the dead.
Hisayushi Teramura built "next to last refuge" for Yokohama: here turn to reach the cremation of four days, during which time the hotel for the dead is very urgent. Comfort in the rooms is minimal: clean white walls, granite table and a refrigerator for flowers in the center. Of course, the number is not for the convenience of the deceased and for his grieving family.
Ironically, the hotel has a bar, and - perhaps you have already submitted the Living Dead, drinkers, "Bloody Mary"? In reality, need not bar the guests and their visitors: sometimes grief for the dead loved ones can be reduced only to alcohol.
Every day in the "final resting place is not" cost the relatives of the deceased to 12,000 yen (156 dollars) - perhaps it is not so much replace the inconvenience which may create a corpse in a small Japanese apartment. Resourceful hotel owner Hisayushi Teramura already put business on a grand scale: lack of visitors. Staff is generally pleased with the hotels in salary and does not have anything against work - only to complain about the cold, sometimes downright grave.
In Hisaeshi Teramury ambitious plans to expand his business and soon he intends to open a chain of such hotels.

"Right now in my hotel stay can be just 19 guests, with a further increase their number increased to 40" - says inspired by the success of his institution Hisaeshi Teramura.
