For all the penguin lovers out there, the Suica Penguin Room in Japan is an absolute dream come true! Situated in the heart of Tokyo at the Hotel Metropolitan Ikebukuro, this unique room redefines the concept of themed accommodations with its incredibly cosy and whimsical Suica Penguin Café Time experience. Let’s just say, this isn’t just any penguin-themed room—this is an immersive world where you can live out your very own penguin paradise.
The Ultimate Penguin-Themed Room In Japan
Themed hotel rooms have taken the world by storm, with travellers flocking to quirky, immersive spaces that transport them to fantasy worlds—be it through jungle-inspired decor or vibrant pop culture references. But the Suica Penguin Room takes themed rooms to the next level.
Designed around the adorable Suica Penguin, the star of Japan’s beloved Suica card mascot, this room has long been a favourite. However, it’s now been revamped into a “home café” concept that combines comfort, charm, and relaxation in the most delightful way. When you enter the Suica Penguin Room, you’re greeted by a 75cm-long giant Suica Penguin plush—and this is just the beginning.
The space is adorned with adorable Suica Penguin-themed interior decorations and merchandise throughout. The room’s ambiance is further enhanced with soothing café music, perfect for creating a tranquil atmosphere. It is a unique experience that will let you spend the day with your penguin companion.
Unwind In Style With Suica Penguin Perks
The hotel’s special “Café Time” plan takes the entire experience to the next level with some perks designed to ensure your comfort and enjoyment. Picture yourself lounging around in Suica Penguin original relaxation wear. What else will make you feel like part of the penguin family?
And there’s more: hidden within the room are “hidden Suica penguins,” a fun little scavenger hunt that will have you exploring every corner of the room. The hunt will make you feel like a kid again as you uncover each little penguin surprise. For those with a sweet tooth, the Suica Penguin Room doesn’t disappoint. Here, you will be treated to Suica Penguin Cakes, which can be enjoyed either in the room or taken home as a memento.
And what’s a penguin-themed stay without a special souvenir to take home? Upon check-in, you’ll be gifted a Suica Penguin cup and saucer set and a bamboo cutlery set—exclusively available to those staying in the room. The Suica Penguin Room is incredibly exclusive—only one room is available per day.
The room also features a special Suica Penguin menu available via room service. With a delicious “Suica Penguin Traditional Omurice” (a Japanese omelette rice dish) and an adorable set of Suica Penguin pancakes for breakfast, you will certainly be in for a treat like no other.
So, if you’re planning a trip to Japan, make sure to reserve early to guarantee your chance to stay in this one-of-a-kind room!
