We’ve been seeing a lot of Pokémon lately, with the franchise celebrating its 30th anniversary with events in Yokohama and adorable hotel rooms at Grand Hyatt Tokyo. But this one might just take the cake.

Starting this September, hotel group Not A Hotel is teaming up with sleep-tracking game Pokémon Sleep to create the ultimate Pokémon experience: a massive Poké Ball-shaped hotel in the heart of Hokkaido’s forests.

Known simply as the Poké Ball Hotel, this unique accommodation will be available through a special lottery, giving lucky winners the chance to spend the night inside.

There aren’t many details just yet, with further information about the campaign set to be announced from September 15. Keep tabs on the official website for more information.
