Police confirmed that the man was stripped of any form of identification, and had also had his clothes stolen.
However, a CCTV camera showed him checking in to a hotel room alongside “someone dressed like a woman” at 10.50pm on Saturday, Japan Today reports.
Shockingly, the other person was seen leaving around four hours later carrying a black suitcase.
It is now thought that the man's head was being carried out in the suitcase after being severed with a “knife-life object”.
The person was also seen wearing a large brimmed hat and was described as being “small” in stature.
Surprisingly, it was later discovered via an autopsy that the poor bloke died from “haemorrhagic shock” and was only decapitated after he was already dead.

One line of thinking from police is that he was killed while inside the hotel bedroom's bathroom, although this has not yet been officially confirmed.
However, police has said the victim was between the age of 45 and 70, and had surgical scars from a previous appendix removal surgery.
A local man from the area told Kyodo News: “I have lived in this area for about 15 years, but I have never heard of an incident like this.”
A police investigation and search for the potential killer – and the suitcase-filled head – is still ongoing.
The man's relatives are also being sought, but would need his identity to be able to do so.
