On Our Radar
What caught our eye before visiting — from reviews and research, not a stay.
Room 225 is one of the "Type E" amusement rooms, built around a bed that actually rotates. Back in 2019, a Togetter roundup titled "The rotating bed turned into a merry-go-round!" made this room go viral.
That roundup described the decor itself as an "adult amusement park" — a giant tree, glass-castle-style ornamentation, doves flying across the ceiling. The official site doesn't spell any of that out today, but judging from the photos at the time, the room was clearly built with a lot of care.
35 years in business, by the hotel's own account — it's its own kind of interesting that a room like this has stayed in service that long.
Over 200 titles of VOD, and a membership system you can apparently join for free, with no name required.
We haven't been yet, so a star rating is still a ways off.
