The issue of people entering abandoned hotels has been increasingly prominent in Japan, with reports stating this activity occurs "almost every day." Details surrounding these incidents are still foggy, but it is known that these unauthorized entries pose potential safety and security concerns. Action from law enforcement and local communities is being pushed forward to prevent any possible adverse incidents and to mitigate the risks associated with these unauthorized activities.

In Japan, the problem of abandoned buildings (called "akiya") has been a societal concern, increasingly so in times of declining population. These structures pose risks in terms of safety, public nuisance, and potential criminal activities. People's awareness is rising, with many citizens and local authorities advocating for stricter regulations, higher security measures, or reutilization of these surplus infrastructures.

Unlike in Japan, countries like the US and EU have specific laws and stringent penalties relating to trespassing private properties, which includes abandoned buildings. Some cities in the US and EU also have projects in place to convert these buildings into affordable housing or community spaces, providing a solution to potential trespassing and other related issues.
