The cost to stay in a Hello Kitty guestroom varies by season, and the hotel offers differently priced accommodation packages. While foreign visitors to Japan have declined due to the pandemic, the staff says the rooms will be waiting for overseas guests when life gets back to normal. Hotel staff say they enjoy welcoming fans of the character and recommend the Hello Kitty rooms as the perfect accommodation for families with children as well as groups of friends. A Convenient Base for Sightseeing Excursions

The chic Wa-Modern room is full of Hello Kitty motifs. Fans are certain to spend hours just taking photos of all the features. Furniture handles and even the room divider screens are embellished with Hello Kitty bows. To match the chic atmosphere of Japanese nostalgia, the Hello Kitty logo is written in the cursive hiragana script. The walls are decorated with circles of Japanese umbrellas and traditional asanoha motifs (a hemp-leaf pattern symbolizing vitality and growth often used on children’s clothing) that blend nicely with the Hello Kitty bows and silhouettes. The Wa-Modern rooms harken back to the late Meiji and Taishō eras at the turn of the twentieth century when Asakusa was a bustling center of Japanese culture and fashion. All of the Hello Kitty rooms have four beds. The Hello Kitty theme extends to the bath and toilets, and the character is even found on the hotel stationery and room number plates on doors.Ĭuteness abounds in the Sakura Tennyo room. Cherry blossom petals adorn the walls and Hello Kitty’s trademark bow decorates the bedding. Visitors are welcomed by a Hello Kitty dressed as a tennyo, an angel-like being from Japanese mythology. The Sakura Tennyo rooms are awash in pastel pink and feature areas with pink-tinted tatami matting trimmed with ribbon-decorated borders. The Asakusa Tōbu Hotel’s six Hello Kitty guestrooms are decorated in one of two themes: Sakura Tennyo or Wa-Modern.
The Asakusa Tōbu Hotel (left) stands across the street from Asakusa Station on the Tōbu Skytree Line. Located just a short walk from Tōbu Asakusa Station and the giant red lantern at the Kaminarimon of temple Sensōji, the hotel has six “Kitty-chan” guestrooms that combine the cuteness of the cat-like character with the traditional esthetic of the historic neighborhood. The newly opened Asakusa Tōbu Hotel in Tokyo offer fans of Sanrio’s Hello Kitty a dream come true: a night spent in a room lavishly adorned with images of the iconic figure. A Blend of Traditional Beauty and Pop Culture
