This artsy accommodation facility in Jimbocho is a dream come true for book lovers. A sister property to the Manga Art Hotel (also in Jimbocho), its standout feature is the pair of Manga Art Rooms on the 12th floor, each covered floor to ceiling in manga-inspired design. These rooms host a rotating line-up of exhibitions from today’s most popular series, including past collaborations with Shonen Jump’s Dandadan by Tatsuyuki Shin. Both spaces reflect the current exhibition, with artwork from the featured manga, and are lined with shelves of manga to read. To top things off, each room is outfitted with a private sauna that fits up to two people.
For those more interested in romance novels, non-fiction memoirs or even self-help titles, the first eleven floors offer standard guest rooms – though ‘standard’ hardly does them justice. Each floor is dedicated to a different genre, with shelves in the hallways and rooms stocked accordingly. It’s an ideal way to step outside your comfort zone and discover a new favourite book.
The hotel also houses a cosy bar on the first floor, inviting you to unwind with a drink in hand as you lose yourself in the world of books.
