To celebrate the opening, the hotel is teaming up with Ensemble Stars, a multimedia project for mobile platforms based around a card-collecting game, which features a ton of cute anime guys. 65 of the 130 capsules at the hotel will be part of the promotion and, according to the Bay Hotel Group’s official Twitter account, if you stay during the promotional period you can get your hands on Ensemble Stars goodies, such as pens, key chains, folders and sweets, while the capsules will be decorated with special wall stickers. Nine units will even feature life-sized panels! Slots for the special promotional rooms have already been snapped up at the time of publication, but you can still make a reservation for a regular capsule.
