Enter the Ureshino Sightseeing House of Hidden Treasures. Located in the city of Ureshino in Saga Prefecture, this is a most unusual sex museum, or "hihoukan" (秘宝館) in Japanese. And that's saying something because hihoukan are, as a rule of thumb, pretty odd!P

Many of these types of sex museums were built in the 1970s and 80s in hot springs resort towns. They're from a simpler time and seem aimed at adult couples, ages 18 and up. As Japan Deep points out, this hihoukan also has a Shinto shrine, with an enshrined nude wax figure—the first of its kind in Japan. P

The Ureshino Sightseeing House of Hidden Treasures was erected in 1983—a period of Japanese prosperity and excess. As noted by Japan Deep, a sign out front boasts that this hihoukan uses "the best in the latest electronics technology" for this "sex wonderland." The construction costs were 500 million yen (US$5.1 million), while the items on display cost another 200 million yen (US$2 million). All this, of course, was over thirty years ago. P

Here's a look at some of the exhibits, courtesy of YouTube user Keioh19.
