It’s interesting to note that some of the rooms come with tropical elements to match the location. Okinawa is known as a beach paradise, so you’ll see Hello Kitty and friends snorkelling among fishes, surfing, or chilling by the seaside.

Others have more general designs, with illustrations of snacks, florals, and even denim-textured walls. In true Sanrio fashion, you can expect a great deal of pastel here.

But if sweet and saccharine isn’t your thing - or if your boyfriend objects to all the princessy pink - then there are plenty other colour palettes to enjoy.

Do note that while you’re able to choose the character you want, the room design will be given at random, so brace yourself for a surprise!

We recommend choosing your character strategically if you’re hoping to get a specific range of colours for your room. You can’t go wrong with Hello Kitty, Little Twin Stars, and My Melody if feminine is what you’re after.

For something more gender-neutral, we recommend PomPomPurin or Gudetama, which come with a cheery streak of yellow.
