100 yen for 30 minutes

This weekend we are on the road. The hotel we are staying at us called Livemax. As we went up the elevator to our room the first time I noticed a sign hanging on one of the walls. It said:
What does it say? 
It says if you forgot you phone charger and need to charge your device you can use theirs for 30 mins and 100 yen (about $1) a time.
 Earlier this year I made a post talking about this exact same thing - Electricity - How much?

Electricity...how much

This is a pay box that goes down and is connected to the outlet. It 100 yen, about $1, for 5 minutes. So, if you need to use the outlet you have to pay. 2 years ago we were at a practice at a different gym than we normally practice at sand one of my teammates plugged his phone into the wall to charge. No long after a guy came running and said he had to unplug it and couldn't use the outlet. Not sure if electricity is really expensive here or not but thought that was quite interesting.
