Such a dream place that you will not be able to sleep
Japan is not only the country of the rising sun, millenary temples and hyper-modern metropolis: it is also the undisputed home of the manga, those comics capable of telling epic, romantic or surreal stories that have conquered readers all over the world. In Tokyo there is a place that seems to have come out directly from a drawn table, designed for those who don’t just want to read manga, but live them.
Manga Art Hotel: a comic dream

Forget the usual anonymous hotels: the art hotel is a unique place, created especially for manga lovers. Located in Tokyo, it offers over 5,000 volumes in Japanese and English, available on the shelves surrounding the capsule -style rooms. Total minimalism, but with a promise: you will not be able to close eye because you will be too taken from the readings.
Whether it’s discovering new works or rereading timeless classics, every night here becomes an immersion in a magical and unforgettable world.
An experience outside reality

On the hotel website it is clearly written:
“Our hotel prohibits severely to introduce the reality. This is to allow you to immerse yourself in the world of works all night. “
The journey starts with the Kuhaku sauna (empty space), where everything that hinders the imagination is eliminated. The invitation is to dedicate body, mind and time to the manga, letting itself be transported until it reaches the bliss of the so -called “manga brain”, a state in which there is only reading, without distractions.
The room: the “manga cave”
The rooms of the Manga Art Hotel are not simple capsules: they are designed around the theme of the “manga cave”. The bookstores that fill the space create a unique landscape, where it is possible to live the manga with all five senses. An intimate and creative refuge, designed to transform reading into a total experience.
Jimbocho: the city of books
The journey does not stop at the hotel. Jimbocho is a few steps away, a neighborhood that seems to be done especially for those who love paper and ink. Viale Suzuran is a succession of second -hand bookcases, vintage postcards and welcoming coffee, perfect for one break between one reading and another.
How to get there
A place to live more than to visit: the Manga Art Hotel is the experience that every fan of Japanese comics should take care of at least once in life.
