Because of an editing error involving a satirical text-swapping web browser extension, an earlier version of this article misquoted a passage from an article by the Times reporter Jim Tankersley.

Found in a photo-tour of an abandoned love hotel in Japan:
"Young people looking to sew their wild oats..."
