Tokyo hotel offers free stay, drinks, and sashimi on one very simple condition

The travel business isn't exactly booming at the moment thanks to the social distancing and safety protocol necessary to deal with the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). So as you can imagine, hotels that typically expect to welcome tourist and business travelers face an uphill battle.

Tokyo's Hotel New Shohei is one such hotel, but they're offering a very hospitable and hard-to-beat campaign to revive lodging in their vacant rooms--free lodging and even drinks.

The hotel simply asks guests to fulfill one condition to access a free stay--simply upload photos of your stay and experience to a social media account or blog. That's it.
