And with that, you have now had a glimpse of all 18 rooms in Peanuts Hotel.

Since the colors and layouts are all unique to each room, you will probably want to spend a night in each one! The life philosophies of Charles M. Schulz, as well as his thoughts on love and friendship, are all conveyed in his original comics. If you stay in a room featuring these concepts, you may be able to empathize with his deep, unique philosophies for yourself.

Peanuts Hotel Kobe: Sure to bring out the inner child of any adult!

Kobe, a city transformed by tourism since the opening of the Meiji port, exudes an exotic atmosphere with its old settlements and foreign buildings. It is an atmosphere quite similar to the good, old-fashioned streets of Santa Rosa in America, where the original author Shultz himself lived, and one of the reasons why the Peanuts Hotel was opened here.

This hotel which designed its entire building with the characters of Snoopy and his friends is probably the first of its kind in the world. Because it is located in Kobe, with its many tourists from abroad, it is a popular spot for both local guests as well as guests from overseas.

▲The figures next to the reception on the first floor are all from collectors from Kobe. You can feel the warm connection between fans.

Because of the casual environment, children and adults alike will enjoy staying at this hotel. As someone who lives in the suburbs, I would also like to stay here at least once. Along with the third floor restaurant, it is recommended to stop by the first floor shop and cafe as well. Whatever you do, should you get the opportunity, please make sure to visit this brand-new Kobe landmark, the Peanuts Hotel!
