“We want to provide our guests with the unique emotional experience born of reading manga on paper,” the hotel says.
The key amenity of Manga Art Hotel, Tokyo, is its collection of over 5,000 manga, with each of the comic collections chosen by basis of its artistic value.
Japan’s capsule hotels are sometimes scoffingly referred to as “rent-a-coffins” in English guidebooks, and even among Japanese people, they have a stigma as cramped, bare-bones accommodations.
The hotel looks to be extremely welcoming towards foreign travelers, with an English website already up and running alongside its Japanese one.
