MODERATORS
Neuromancer was written thirty or forty years ago. Japan was expected to become economically dominant on a high tech manufacturing economy and many cyberpunk writers looked to high tech urban Japan to divine the outlines of the horrors of the near future.
And earlier editions of Shadowrun.
FYI they're kind of a novelty, most hotels in Japan are normal hotels. From what I understand they're mostly a thing tourists in Tokyo do for shits and giggles.
Closer reality to this crappy motels that people actually use as cheap apartments which have been a thing for a long while.
