Budget-conscious travelers always look for a deal, and this hotel in the Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan offers a room for about $1, as long as travelers don’t mind a bit of a caveat.

The One Dollar Hotel, as it has become known in the past week or so, offers one room at the special rate of 100 yen. The catch is guests must live stream their entire stay to YouTube. The room accommodates two guests with two single beds. There is no bathroom in the room, so guests can preserve some semblance of privacy.

In an interview with CNN, the hotel’s operator Tetsuya Inoue, 27, explained the live stream is restricted to video. In addition, guests are allowed to turn off the lights to increase privacy during the night.

Before guests stay in the room, they receive some instructions from Inoue. Lewd acts are prohibited, and guests are encouraged to keep private information, like passports, driver’s licenses and credit cards, out of view of the camera.

The strategy to invigorate the hotel’s business reaches beyond losing a few nights’ revenue. Once the YouTube channel reaches a certain amount of hours viewed, the channel can be monetized, adding another potential revenue stream to the hotel’s efforts. On days where the room is vacant, Inoue live streams himself from his office.

At the time of this writing, the hotel offers three rooms for 100 yen and has more than 8,000 subscribers.
