A concept hotel called PEANUTS HOTEL which incorporates the designs of the unique characters of Snoopy and other Peanuts characters will open in Kobe in the summer of 2018.

 

Kobe is one of Japan’s most popular tourist destinations boasting its magnificent views of the mountains and the sea. The city has a “retro” feel to it due to its unique history opening its port to the world during the Meiji Era. Accordingly, through the blending of Western and Eastern cultures, Kobe formed its exotic atmosphere. Today, more than 1 million foreign tourists visit Kobe every year.

 

Charles M. Schulz, the writer of Peanuts, had his studio in Santa Rosa, California. It could be said that there are many similarities between Santa Rosa and Kobe, that is the beautiful scenery and the retro yet modern atmoshphere.

The loveable Peanuts characters will be there to greet you at PEANUTS HOTEL. The mid-century furniture and Japan’s high-quality design make for a very comfortable atmosphere. In addition, the Peanuts characters add a touch of humor and fun to the scene. On the first floor of the hotel you will find “PEANUTS Café” which is a very popular café in the Nakameguro, Tokyo. Here, you can enjoy a coffee time or a meal and they also sell Peanuts related goods.

 

Here is a hotel where all generations can enjoy by together feeling the “roots” of the “Peanuts world.” A place where all kinds of people can connect and build community – this is what PEANUTS HOTEL is all about. They hope that heart-warming relationships can be nurtured by the casual and friendly atmosphere of this concept hotel.

 

Why not enjoy this “retro” and Kobe-like hotel. Come experience this “Peanuts world” in Kobe.

 

 

Original merchandise from the Peanuts Hotel in Kobe will be sold at the Peanuts Cafe in Nakameguro and Peanuts Diner in Yokohama from August 22 to September 2. The Peanuts Cafe in Nakameguro is themed on the American comic strip series Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz that features the popular character Snoopy. It's based on the American style cafes of the west coast and has a fun, witty atmosphere to it.   The first floor has a neon sign and the walls are decorated in strips from the comic. When you climb the stairs it's as if you're entering the secret lair of a Peanuts collector as you are greeted by antique toys lined up together.   They serve a variety of comfort foods and desserts inspired by the characters from the series including Snoopy and Woodstock.   Yokohama is home to the Peanuts Diner, a spacious restaurant where you can enjoy your meal with an ocean view.   They sell a range of exclusive Peanuts Diner merchandise. You can even purchase the crockery and mugs they use at the restaurant, as well as t-shirts. It's a comfortable seaside diner where you can enjoy immersing yourself in the world of Peanuts whenever and whoever you visit with.

The original Snoopy Museum first opened in April 2016 in Roppongi and it has proven a huge success amongst fans of Charles M. Schulz's internationally beloved Peanuts comic strip. It comes as no surprise then that fans are lamenting its impending closure on September 24.   But not all is lost, as the museum is relocating to Minami Machida Grandberry Park this fall. It promises to be twice as big as the Roppongi branch with more content and outdoor programs that make use of the surrounding green environment. It is opening at the Park Life Site arena of Grandberry Park where there will also be workshops, a children's club, cafes and more.   Fans of Peanuts can look forward to seeing valuable original prints and much more as well as getting their hands on exclusive merchandise.
