Celebrating 40 Years of Chibi Maruko-chan at Shinagawa Prince Hotel

The Shinagawa Prince Hotel, located in the heart of Tokyo, is excited to unveil a special concept room in collaboration with the beloved Japanese manga, Chibi Maruko-chan, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of its original release. Available from October 1, 2026, to February 15, 2027, this unique experience is set to draw fans of all ages into the warmth and joy of Maruko’s world.

The Charm of Chibi Maruko-chan

Chibi Maruko-chan, created by Momoko Sakura, captures the delightful yet poignant experiences of a third-grade girl named Maruko, who reflects the life and trials of the artist herself. Set in Shimizu City, the series beautifully illustrates the daily life of Maruko with her family and friends, embodying the universal themes of childhood adventures, laughter, and treasured memories. This collaboration aims to blend this cherished narrative with the unmatched hospitality of Shinagawa Prince Hotel, bringing a fresh perspective on Japanese culture.

A Unique Stay Experience

At the core of this collaboration is the original design theme, dubbed “Chinoiserie Blue.” Guests will find themselves surrounded by art and decor inspired by traditional Eastern and Western aesthetics. The room will feature stunning visuals of Maruko and her friends, Tama-chan and Hanawa-kun, inviting guests to immerse themselves in a narrative experience beyond the typical hotel stay. Enhancing the atmosphere, the room will be adorned with original artwork and thematic furnishings that evoke an artistic haven.

The experience goes beyond aesthetics; guests will also have access to a complete collection of Chibi Maruko-chan manga and a Bluetooth speaker, allowing them to enjoy their favorite scenes and music during their stay. This thoughtful curation ensures that visitors can relive the story and share moments that resonate deeply with them.

Special Amenities

For those who wish to take home a piece of this unique experience, the hotel offers exclusive novelty items designed specifically for guests who book the Chibi Maruko-chan themed rooms. The gifts include a beautiful drawstring bag featuring Maruko and friends dressed in Chinoiserie-inspired outfits, a portable compact mirror, and a delicately designed blue handkerchief, providing memories that last well beyond their visit.
