STORY Fun for All! Anime Characters Themed Hotels for Adults and Kids by JNTO on 11 November 2020

In Japan, there are many hotels featuring characters from anime and manga; while some may be too kids-oriented for your taste. This time, we would like to show you a few special themed hotels suitable for both adults and kids!

 

Try ninja training in the Naruto-themed Japanese Ninja Suite Room 

 

Guests receive a Training Procedure at the reception desk, and have to solve a puzzle before entering the room. The generously-sized suite comprises the “Yo no Ma” living area, with breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji and decorated in bright, sun motifs characterised by Naruto’s Yang Release. Separated by a shoji sliding door, the “In no Ma” bedroom, in contrast, is decorated with moon motifs of the Yin Release of Sasuke (Naruto’s rival). If you complete the challenges in the room, you will be recognized as a ninja with a Shinobi Certificate!

 

 

Even the bathroom area – with separate toilet, bath, and sink areas – is decorated with prints of various other characters, including those of Kakashi and Pakkun. Another point to note is that original items such as the specially-made yukata featuring emblems of Akatsuki and Hokage, kunai-shaped combs, Naruto-themed face towels, and a pouch with the headband design are included as part of the room package! Guests also have access to the hotel’s hot spring baths, making it a great end to a fun-filled day at Fuji-Q!
