A concept hotel called PEANUTS HOTEL which incorporates the designs of the unique characters of Snoopy and other Peanuts characters will open in Kobe in the summer of 2018.
Kobe is one of Japan’s most popular tourist destinations boasting its magnificent views of the mountains and the sea. The city has a “retro” feel to it due to its unique history opening its port to the world during the Meiji Era. Accordingly, through the blending of Western and Eastern cultures, Kobe formed its exotic atmosphere. Today, more than 1 million foreign tourists visit Kobe every year.
Charles M. Schulz, the writer of Peanuts, had his studio in Santa Rosa, California. It could be said that there are many similarities between Santa Rosa and Kobe, that is the beautiful scenery and the retro yet modern atmoshphere.
The loveable Peanuts characters will be there to greet you at PEANUTS HOTEL. The mid-century furniture and Japan’s high-quality design make for a very comfortable atmosphere. In addition, the Peanuts characters add a touch of humor and fun to the scene. On the first floor of the hotel you will find “PEANUTS Café” which is a very popular café in the Nakameguro, Tokyo. Here, you can enjoy a coffee time or a meal and they also sell Peanuts related goods.
Here is a hotel where all generations can enjoy by together feeling the “roots” of the “Peanuts world.” A place where all kinds of people can connect and build community – this is what PEANUTS HOTEL is all about. They hope that heart-warming relationships can be nurtured by the casual and friendly atmosphere of this concept hotel.
Why not enjoy this “retro” and Kobe-like hotel. Come experience this “Peanuts world” in Kobe.

Nagasaki’s 112 Year Old Hotel Nampuro Opens Terraces With Panoramic Ocean and Sky Views
19.January.2021 | SPOT
The 112-year-old Hotel Nampuro in Nagasaki is set to open the new Sky Terrace and Ocean Terrace this month. These vistas offer breathtaking, unbroken views of the sea and sky that make it feel as if you’re floating on the ocean with rolling skies ahead that stretch to the horizon.

The observation terrace offers an incredible panoramic view of the great Ariake Sea that offers a picturesque spectacle at all times of the day. Guests can enjoy seeing the morning, noon, and night skies which merge together with the ocean for an unbeatable result. There’s also a “no talking” rule on the terrace so guests can fully soak up what’s in front of them as they take a luxirous soak in the warm baths.
The infinity pool-style open-air bath offers a refreshing view while making it seem as if you are part of the ocean.

The steam sauna is set at a lower temperature than your usual high-temperature dry sauna which ensures it doesn’t have as much strain on the body so guests can sweat it out comfortably.
