"Picture book hotel" where children play the leading role is born in Nara city!　Many games and tricks | Ikorepo

In Room 105 of Tornare Gakuen-mae, a condominium located 10 minutes by car from Gakuen-mae Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, is the "Picture Book Hotel" where you can enjoy an architectural space from a child's perspective. Born on Thursday, December 23, 2021. This is Japan's first hotel where parents and children can enjoy a special experience in a fun, child-sized space surrounded by a wall full of picture books.

Enjoyable space from a child's perspective surrounded by picture books from all over the world

At the "Picture Book Hotel", which was born by renovating one room of an apartment building over 30 years old, the main character of the hotel is the child! The heights of the toilet, kitchen, washbasin, etc. are all designed from a child's perspective (there is an adult toilet). A space that emphasizes ease of use and fun for children above all else may feel a little inconvenient for adults, but it is a different and special time for parents and children.

The bookshelves that fill the walls are lined with picture books selected from all over the world from a unique perspective. There are many rare picture books from all over the world, including those that have rarely been introduced in Japan. Picture books can be enjoyed not only as interior decoration, but also by freely picking them up and reading them. Not only children but also adults can gain new awareness from picture books dealing with social themes such as gender, refugees, discrimination, environmental issues, and touching foreign cultures through overseas picture books. There are also trick books and picture books that you can play in the bath.

Plenty of games other than picture books!

In addition to picture books, there are many tricks that children will love, such as "Nozokiana", which has holes of various sizes in the wall, and "Drawing wall" where you can draw graffiti on the whole surface. ! The Yoshino cedar toy “Play wall” was created in collaboration with “Itsuru Mokko”, a woodworking shop in Higashiyoshino, Nara.

An original low table made of cedar and cypress is also installed, and the room is a warm space surrounded by the scent of wood.

It can also be used for day use, event venues, and children's "sleepovers"

One room is 64 square meters and has a capacity of 8 people. Use as a sleepover party is also OK! You are free to bring your own food and drink, so you can use the kitchen for simple cooking.

In the mini-bar (refrigerator/freezer), we also have recommended excellent frozen Neapolitan pizza, Nara craft beer, Nara wine, etc. (separate charge).

"Picture book hotel" was born with the idea of ​​``I want to create a hotel like a children's house where children can spend the whole day at ease.'' We aim to open 10 rooms in Nara within 3 years and 30 rooms across Japan within 5 years. The hotel is limited to one group per day, so early reservations are recommended. How about planning a family anniversary or a trip?
