Hello Kitty Fans Can't Miss This! We Visited the New Hello Kitty Rooms at the Asakusa Tobu Hotel
Good news for all you Hello Kitty lovers out there! The Asakusa Tobu Hotel has opened new Hello Kitty themed rooms in October 2020. Let's take a peek inside!
The Sakura Tennyo room sports four large beds, as well as a tatami space with a low table and tatami chairs.
Take a close look at the edge of the tatami and you'll spot Hello Kitty's ribbon!
The bathroom has a cute pink flower chair. It's a comfy spot to sit at while getting ready for the day. Of course even the toilet paper is pink!
Everything down to the room number is Hello Kitty-themed.
If you're travelling with children or friends that need an early break there is a privacy curtain that divides the room.
The overall color style is soothing and incorporates many Japanese elements. The limited-edition merchandise offered at check-in is also different in design from the Sakura Tennyo room. It's really hard to choose which one to go with!
Hotel guests receive a special gift when they check in. Both room types have their own unique gift. They are not for sale so staying at the hotel is the only way to get this exclusive Hello Kitty merchandise!
Toilets are equipped with alcohol sanitization and various infection control measures, such as sensor trash cans that don't require touching to open.
Markers are placed on the floor of the elevators and the hotel lobby to ensure that everyone maintains their social distance. The restaurant on the third floor of the hotel has also increased the distance between tables.
Just a minute away from Tokyo Metro Asakusa Station, Exit 3! This is the same exit you take to Kaminarimon Gate, so the location is very convenient.
