Tokyo, Japan’s bustling capital, has always been a tantalizing blend of traditional culture and vibrant modernity. It is a city that has managed to preserve its heritage and, at the same time, embrace the future. Various lodging experiences encapsulate this harmony, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in authentic Japanese culture. We’ll take you on a tour of five incredible accommodation options, each with its distinct charm, allowing you to experience Japan uniquely.

First on our list is the MIMARU Tokyo Pokémon Room. As part of MIMARU’s apartment hotels, the Pokémon Room delivers an immersive experience for fans of this worldwide phenomenon. Every aspect of the room, from the ample Snorlax plush lounging on the bed to the Poké Ball-inspired tableware, echoes the world of Pokémon.

Venture into the world of sumo wrestling at the Stay SAKURA Tokyo Asakusa Yokozuna Hotel. This establishment honours Japan’s ancient sport, having transformed a former sumo stable into an accommodation site.
