Japan

High-speed trains, irridescent laneways, endless ramen and underground izakayas—time to get booking.

The future is now and a hotel in Japan is leading the way, replacing staff with holograms and robots. At the Henn-na Hotel, located in Tokyo’s buzzing Ginza district, you’ll be greeted by anything from a friendly ninja (who can speak five languages no less), to an even friendlier dinosaur who is pretty damn excited to meet a human.
