The Weirdest Hotel in the World - in Tokyo!

Recorded in the Guinness Book of Records® as the first robot-staffed hotel, from December 15 you can experience it in Tokyo, too! It is called Hen Na Hotel Tokyo Nishikasai and after passing through novelties like the robot at the front desk, you will find its high-tech gadgetry (like the complimentary smartphones) convenient and conducive to a comfortable stay. If you are looking for “something more” in an accommodation, this is it!

From actual escape rooms to mysteries that challenge your skills and ingenuity, this is a unique form of entertainment, and with many games in English, too.

A special tank “Extensive Nature Aquatic Plants Wall,” ultra-large photo panels, and films are a must-see.

Editor’s note

This month I’d like to write about entertainment. In Japan, in recent years, female groups have been holding the field, but now Oscar Promotion is bringing to the stage an all-male 30-member group called Otokogekidan Aoyama Omotesando X. I went to the press conference and all members were very nice. They are scheduled to begin performing on stage at Omotesando from next June. I’m looking forward to seeing it!
