A Hotel Where You Can Check In with the Help of Hologram 🦖 | 恐龙助我check in

My last post about robots delivering food reminds me of some other unmanned services I've experienced while traveling. Today, let's have a peek at a hotel in Tokyo that doesn't have any receptionists.

This hotel I stayed in Asakusa is called Henn na Hotel Tokyo Asakusa Tawaramachi, and it's the first hotel in the world that offers a check-in service using holographic technology.

In fact, another Henn na Hotel in Ginza has been certified by Guinness World Records as the first hotel with working robots.

Here, you can do self check-in with the help of a dinosaur and other manga characters. :) They are three-dimensional images created by holography and give you audio instructions through the check-in process.

When I walked throughout the lobby, seasonal motifs such as maple leaves (it was autumn then) appeared every time my foot contacted the ground. The overall experience was fantastic, thanks to the light and musical effects.

From this hotel's rooftop, you can have a clear view of the Tokyo Skytree (shown in my first photo above), which is far taller than the famous Tokyo Tower (333m). It is referred to as the "new Tokyo Tower". According to Guinness World Records, it is the "world's highest tower" at 634 meters. After Dubai's Burj Khalifa, it is the world's second tallest man-made structure.

The room is larger than I expected in any expensive Japanese city, and it's very clean and comfortable, complete with a humidifier and an LG styler. The styler is a steam-powered garment care machine that can help you get rid of wrinkles, odors, and mites from your clothes. Each night when I returned to the hotel, I put my jackets and pants in there to soften them up, so they could be pampered too after a long day. :)

If you also like to have the unique experience, here is the hotel's address:

上次的机器人送餐让我想起其他在旅途中遇到的无人服务，今天我们就来看看一家日本东京的酒店，也是不用通过前台人员，可以自助check in，并有全息投影的恐龙等卡通形象来指导房客操作。

这家酒店名叫Henn na，不在闹市中心，但所处位置交通便利，步行很快可达浅草寺，底层就有Family Mart，从楼顶天台上可以清晰地看到瘦高的晴空塔Tokyo Skytree。为了和东京铁塔相区别，有人叫它新东京铁塔，高达634米，2011年获得吉尼斯世界纪录认证为“世界第一高塔”，也是仅次于迪拜哈利法塔的世界第二高人工构造物。想起当年去哈利法塔都没有拍到全景，因为真的是高耸入云。

位于银座的Henn na是吉尼斯纪录认证的世界第一家提供机器人前台服务的酒店，而浅草这家则是全球第一个利用全息技术提供自助check-in服务的，入住房价自然也低于中央商业区的银座那一家。我是疫情前去住的，当时价格是70欧一晚，在昂贵的东京性价比还算挺高的，刚才查了一下现价，在这萧条时期又降低了不少。

在这酒店的前台机器上自助check in时，墙上投影的恐龙等3D角色会语音提示操作步骤。等输入姓名之类的基本信息，得到确认后，就可以在旁边柜子取到房卡。在大厅走动时，每落脚一处，都会有深深浅浅的枫叶🍁图像渐次出现，还伴有音乐和光影变幻，仿佛置身神秘的深秋森林。感觉日本有不少艺术家擅长这种立体声光秀，比如长盛不衰的草间弥生和这些年愈来愈火的teamLab。

楼上的客房整洁舒适，典型的小而全，配有加湿器和LG styler蒸汽衣物护理机，说是具有“去除褶皱、去除异味、除螨和轻柔烘干”四大功能，“只需轻松一挂，即可恢复衣物本色”。我每天晚上回到酒店都把外套和裤子放进去震动几分钟，除了触感柔软，似乎没有看出很大不同，可能因为不是在郊区撒野，衣服也没那么脏吧。泡上宇治买的抹茶，斜在床上看看经典的樱桃小丸子，真是惬意😁。
