Pop Japan

The Henn-na Hotel in Nagasaki prefecture is run by robots. Walk into the reception hall and you will be welcomed by a mechanized dinosaur that will guide you through check-in in. Once you do so, a luggage bot will wheel your suitcase along the way beside you. A robot companion will also turn off the lights for you once you command them to do so.

How was the experience? Watch as MOTHERBOARD TV’s Ben Ferguson had a walkthrough in the first episode of VOAGER. Also, Henn-na Hotel CEO Hideo Sawada shared the story behind the innovation, including his passion for robots, and reasons and visions for making the business more possible in the near future.
