The new hotel caters to the desires of anime fans with a series of intimate capsules.
Akihabara Bay Hotel has been open for just a few months and already it’s become a hot topic online for its unique accommodation plans. With a pretty looking entrance and pink-hued relaxation areas, the women-only capsule hotel previously made news for collaborating with the animated cast of Japanese mobile game, Ensemble Stars!, and now they’re setting out to please female anime fans once again, with another handsome-looking collaboration.
