The Story Hotel: A new concept for couples wanting some romantic private time in Japan
Oona McGee Apr 4, 2019- Tweet

Step into a mysterious story world just outside of Tokyo.
With an abundance of capsule hotels, themed apartments and traditional ryokan inns, Japan is well known for its unusual accommodation options.
Now, though, there’s a new type of hotel making news in Japan, and it’s located in a novel spot, inside the same facility that houses the Poo Museum in Yokohama.
The Story Hotel, as it’s being called, is taking the short stay concept to a whole new level, by offering private rooms to one or two people for roughly 90 minutes at a time.

Located in the ASOBUILD experience-based complex entertainment facility, which has different themes on each floor, The Story Hotel presents a chance for guests to enjoy a whole new type of hotel experience.
おはようございます。
本日もTHE STORY HOTELは11:00より開演致します。
ストーリーホテルでほっと一息ついてはいかがでしょうか。
皆様のご来場こころよりお待ちしております。#横浜 #アソビル #ストーリーホテル #ショートフィルム pic.twitter.com/Ji9mQMjsQs— THE STORY HOTEL(アソビル2F/ALE-BOX) (@THESTORYHOTEL) March 20, 2019
Guests who arrive at The Story Hotel on the second floor of the building will check in at the reception desk, and be given a mysterious story note.
After checking into the mysterious hotel, the story begins, as you become one of the characters in this storybook experience.
【㊗️フォロワー200名突破】
オープンから2週間が過ぎた、当ホテルですが、フォロワー様が本日200名を突破いたしました!
いつもご宿泊いただきまして、誠にありがとうございます。
今後ともTHE STORY HOTELをどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。#横浜 #アソビル #ストーリーホテル #ショートフィルム pic.twitter.com/HCUFumItCm— THE STORY HOTEL(アソビル2F/ALE-BOX) (@THESTORYHOTEL) March 31, 2019
▼ You’ll receive a beautiful key, which allows you to enter your room.

にも入ってみたよ!不思議なホテルにチェックインすると、物語が始まる…あなたも登場人物の一人。て設定(*´∇`*)謎は特にない!wショートフィルムを10個位みれます。趣深い体験になった。期間でテーマが変わるみたいよ!ホラー特集とかもあって、今はロマンス特集だたー pic.twitter.com/58MdxbbGtt— あっちゃん (@acchi4_) March 17, 2019
And then when you unlock your room, the mystery of The Story Hotel is finally revealed, with a sofa, a table, and a film projected onto the wall.
アソビルのTHE STORY HOTEL最高だった。
入口の案内人も演劇調で、世にも奇妙な物語みたいにメタ目線で作品の世界にお邪魔しに行く感覚。
映画好き皆さん、これ行った方が良いですよ🎞#アソビル #ストーリーホテル pic.twitter.com/64idBKeu3g— harry (@keisuke_2716) March 29, 2019
The short stay/short film hybrid experience allows guests to enjoy the best of both worlds, with private booths offering a place to relax, while the film itself remains a mystery until you enter the room, although it’s hinted at with the story given to you upon arrival.
本日もご来場いただき、ありがとうございました!
