Pokémon, perhaps one of the most significant and globe-spanning phenomenons to ever come out of Japan will now have dedicated hotel rooms in Tokyo and Kyoto that will allow wannabe trainers and masters to fully immerse themselves in the colourful world.
Recently unveiled by Apartment Hotel MIMARU, the walls of the dining and sleeping areas in each Pokémon room have unique wallpaper with motifs and characters from the iconic franchise to keep the whole family entertained. If that’s not enough to excite fans, they can also curl up for a sound night’s sleep with a gigantic stuffed Snorlax, which are featured in every room. The colourful characters can also be spotted on dishes, mugs and plates in the kitchen areas.
Bedspreads and tables are also emblazoned with poké balls and every guest that makes a reservation will also find a selection of gifts not for sale anywhere, including a drawstring bag, a Pikachu welcome card, and two originally-designed Pokémon towels.
The rooms are available now at MIMARU Tokyo Ueno East and MIMARU Tokyo Hatchobori in Tokyo city, as well as MIMARU Kyoto, Shinmachi Sanjo, MIMARU Kyoto Station and MIMARU Kyoto, Kawaramachi Gojo in Kyoto. As the world gears up for the Tokyo Olympics this summer, travellers will no doubt be searching the city for interesting and available accommodation. Japan famously offers weird and wonderful choices sure to delight diverse people, including a Hello Kitty hotel room at Keio Plaza hotel.
