TOKYO:
At a hotel in the heart of a trendy Tokyo district, guests check into themed rooms. The latest addition, dubbed the Harajuku, draws on the codes of Japan’s kawaii culture to serve up candy sweet and deliciously kitsch décor.

In the heart of Tokyo’s trendy Shibuya district, the micro-district of Harajuku is considered an epicentre of fashion. But don’t expect tall, slender silhouettes in the purest tradition of elegance.

Here, it’s all about a colourful kind of vibe, almost resembling an “Alice in Wonderland” universe. The Harajuku aesthetic is now considered a genre in its own right, so much so that it has now been applied to interior design.

At the forefront of this trend is Moshi Moshi Rooms, a special kind of hotel where guests can eat, sleep and breathe the Japanese dream.

Each of the establishment’s rooms has its own theme. And the latest addition to the list is Harajuku themed. The walls of the room are finished in pink and baby blue, almost like a child’s room.

And Asobi System, the group that designed this hotel, guarantees that the décor will bring a smile to the faces of even the most grumpy travellers.

And it’s true that the colourful knickknacks give the place an energizing feel. The space is equipped with a bed, a sofa bed and an air mattress, allowing four people to stay comfortably in the room.

It is also equipped with a bathroom and a kitchenette for total independence during your stay.

For anyone hoping to check into the hotel, the room usually rents for 40,000 yen per night, or about US$365, although you might be able to make savings thanks to a current summer promotion.

And if this magnificent room happens to be booked up on your travel dates, three others are available on Airbnb: the Sakura, or cherry blossom room, as well as the Origami and Dosukoi rooms. Sweet Japanese dreams!
