Ⓒ 1976, 2020 SANRIO CO., LTD.
Two types of “Sakura Tenjo” and “Japanese Modern” will be developed in 3 rooms, 3 rooms each. Both rooms are the original design of the Asakusa Tobu Hotel, in which Hello Kitty, a character representing Japan, is fully rendered with the unique Japanese style of Asakusa. This room can be enjoyed by a wide range of customers, including Hello Kitty fans and families. Also, limited goods such as novelty will be produced.
Reservations for Hello Kitty rooms are open on the official website of Asakusa Tobu Hotel at 10:00 am Monday, August 24, 2020.
[Sakura Tenjo]
Hello Kitty, dressed as a cute celestial maiden, welcomes guests as the “Sakura”, one of the representative images of Japan, dances. While creating a girly cuteness based on pastel pink, we have introduced a Japanese style by creating a parlor-like space in part.
[Japanese Modern]
It is a room with a high-class world view like Asakusa, where you can relax with Hello Kitty dressed up in a modern kimono. By incorporating traditional “Japanese” elements and expressing stylish interiors, we have devised a wide range of customers to enjoy.

Also back this year is the popular Japanese Stollen, which was a big hit last year. This is a special cake that can only be tasted at Kimuraya, using Japanese-inspired ingredients such as persimmons, figs and koshi-an (sweet bean paste). Please take this opportunity to try Kimuraya’s limited edition Christmas bread.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
