The Japanese are noted for their original hotel formats, and their latest offering will sit well alongside their previous creations, the capsule hotel and the love hotel. Say hello to the Flatbed Truck Mobile Hotel.

Here's one I found parked near my house. The basic idea is that it's a hotel on wheels, allowing you to drive your hotel to your desired location, which could be somewhere with a sea view, or perhaps a nightscape city view from the top of a high car park. You can 'rest' for 1000 yen an hour, 'stay' for 5000 yen or 'crash' for 50,000 yen (the value of the hotel).
