The Hello Kitty Room at the Hotel Adonis is Gone Forever

No! Say it isn't true! HotelChatter tipster quimbys has just passed on some devastating news to us from on-the-spot in Osaka. Allow us to explain our distress …

We're sure you haven't forgotten one of our favorite Japanese love hotels, the Hotel Adonis in Tennoji, central Osaka. As if the whole love hotel concept isn't fascinating enough, the Adonis was specializing in cute-character-themed S&M and was home to the famous Hello Kitty S&M Room. Note the use of past tense here? That's because this is the recent news from on the ground:

I went by there this morning, January 11, 2009, and the place was inexplicably closed. My guess is that authorities found out about the place and found it an embarrassment. (Or) Perhaps Tomy didn't want its trademark Hello Kitty associated with the darker side of pleasure.

So for everyone out there who dreamed of trying out the Hello Kitty room, looks like the chance is gone. Let this be a lesson to everyone who's not out there truly living for the moment. Carpe diem!

    It had always been my mission to have a look around that place when I got to Osaka. They had some of the best rooms with overly-executed themes. About two years ago, I saw Misty Keasler's Love Hotel exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Photography and noted that she had captured many of the Adonis' rooms, including the Hello Kitty. The hotel may have closed, but at least we have a coffee table book to commemorate the kinkiest of its rooms. Thanks, Osaka tipster!
