In Japan, you can rent “Handsome Weeping Boys” to wipe away your tears.

A Japanese hotel has launched a special offer for women: A room to cry in.

The room contains a selection of films especially chosen to tug on the heartstrings, said a spokeswoman for the Mitsui Garden Yotsuya hotel in Tokyo.

There is also a collection of manga comics recommended by a book seller to make women cry.

Crying helps people combat stress, the spokeswoman said.

And so that the women can dry their tears, the rooms will also have high quality tissues and eye masks, the hotel said.
