If you have a few little ones (or maybe it’s the big kids in the family… I’m looking at you, Dad), who love Pokémon, then we may have just found the next hotel your family will be jumping at the bit to book!
Over in Japan, MIMARU is relaunching its popular Pokémon-themed hotel rooms starting July 1, 2025, in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, giving families a full-on immersive experience, complete with more than 100 Pokémon characters spread across walls, ceilings, kitchens, and bathrooms. These rooms are sure to add a bit more magic to your already exciting and magical trip to Japan this year!
Where You Can Book the Magic
The reimagined Pokémon Rooms are available at 10 MIMARU apartment-style hotels across Greater Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, offering travelers a memorable place to stay during summer holidays, birthdays, or family getaways.
The rooms might be farther away than you planned on traveling this summer, but if Japan was already on your radar this year, these rooms might be the perfect landing spot for your family after long days of exploring.
Meet Your Bedtime Buddy
Each Pokémon Room features a giant Snorlax plush resting on the bed, a cozy and whimsical companion for kids and adults alike, perfect for cuddly photo ops and sweet dreams. The rooms are full of thematic immersion with Poke Ball-inspired furnishings, including tableware, linens, and dining tables designed to echo the iconic Pokémon universe that will make the Pokémon fans in your life excited for sleep every night.
And the fun doesn’t end when you set off towards home. Staying in one of these rooms also means you’ll take home limited-edition swag: a laundry bag, drawstring pouch, small pouch, and stickers for each group, which are perfect for collectors and fans of all ages.
Designed for Families
The updated room designs feature a bunk-bed configuration that is ideal for sharing among kids or friends, which are well-suited for families celebrating special occasions.
With Pokémon scattered around every surface, from the adorable surfing Squirtles in the bathroom to playful Pikachu in the kitchen, each room feels like stepping into a floating Pokémon habitat for the duration of your stay. Your kids just might like the hotel more than the adventure when staying here.
MIMARU’s apartment-style rooms feature full kitchens, allowing families to cook and dine together, complete with Pokémon-style tableware, which adds a homey feel and flexibility to mealtime.
Booking & Availability Tips
Reservations for the Pokémon Rooms opened on April 21, 2025, and with rooms in high demand, early booking is recommended. The rooms officially reopen to guests on July 1, 2025, following the complete refurbishment.
Making Your Japan Trip Magical
Whether you are a lifelong Pokémon fan or introducing the magic to your kids, these specially designed rooms make ordinary travel extraordinary. Expect immersive joy, family-friendly comfort, and a vacation vignette straight out of a game.
Why not enjoy spending time with your favorite Pokémon in their birthplace? While you’re in Japan, check out Pokémon stores, see some of the spots that inspired the locations in the game, and even look for Pokémon-themed snacks on the shelves as you visit the cool convenience stores there.
Pokémon Room, I Choose You

With vivid and fun theming, family-friendly layouts, and thoughtful extras to remember the trip by, these rooms offer a welcome break from typical hotel stays and a great way to make Japanese summers more magical for all Pokémon enthusiasts.
