"Snorlax is napping on your bed. Rayquaza soars across the ceiling. Gyarados splashes through your bathroom walls. This is not a fever dream-this is checking into a MIMARU Pokémon Room, where over 100 beloved characters have escaped their Poké Balls to transform apartment-style hotels across Japan into immersive wonderlands. Since their 2019 debut, these themed accommodations have evolved from a novel concept into a hospitality phenomenon, now spanning 10 properties in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka."
"Most themed hotels give you a logo on the wall and call it a day. MIMARU went full maximalist and put 100+ Pokémon across every available surface including the ceiling, which most designers treat like dead space. The apartment format solves the actual problem of traveling with kids or groups: you need a kitchen, you need separate sleeping areas, you need room to exist without climbing over each other."
MIMARU Pokémon Rooms convert apartment-style hotels into immersive, family-friendly spaces populated by more than 100 Pokémon across every surface. The concept launched in 2019 and expanded to ten properties in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Renovations emphasize increased Pokémon presence, family-oriented layouts, and meticulous thematic details such as water-type groupings in bathrooms and food-loving characters in kitchens. Apartment amenities include kitchens, separate sleeping areas, and room for families or groups to move comfortably. Custom Poké Ball tableware and integrated dining-table designs extend the theme into meals. Expansion and renovation indicate strong guest demand and commercial viability.
