Hotelier Not A Hotel has teamed up with the Pokémon Company to create a giant Poké Ball guesthouse in Hokkaido, Japan.
The unique accommodation is a partnership between Not A Hotel and Pokémon Sleep, a sleep-tracking game app partly developed by the Pokemon Company.
It will open in celebration of the third anniversary of Pokémon Sleep and the 30th anniversary of Pokémon this year.
"As society becomes increasingly convenient and efficient, Not A Hotel aims to bring more joy to individuals' lives," said Not A Hotel (via Dezeen).
"For years, Pokémon fans have dreamed of stepping inside a Poké Ball," it added. "Not A Hotel, leveraging its architectural and technological expertise, has turned that dream into a reality."
Situated in a vast forest beside a lake, the Poké Ball guesthouse is surrounded by lush nature. Inside, a circular monitor installed above the window will display images of Pokémon.
The Poké Ball hotel is not accepting bookings from the public. Instead, 10 groups of 20 guests will be selected via a competition, which is running through 30 September and limited to residents of Japan aged 18 and over.
To enter, guests must download the Pokémon Sleep app and follow the official Pokémon Sleep account on X. Entrants must post to X with the relevant hashtags and complete an application form.
In more Pokémon LBE news, the new PokéPark Kanto theme park opened in Tokyo, Japan earlier this year.
Universal parks will also be introducing new Pokémon experiences, starting with Universal Studios Japan.
