Win A Stay For Two In A Giant Poké Ball Hotel In Hokkaido’s Lush Forest

NOT A HOTEL and Pokémon Sleep have joined forces to launch a luxurious Poké Ball sleeping pod in one of Hokkaido’s lush forests this September, so guests can rest the way Pokémon do in the games. The only catch: this hotel isn’t open to the public. Instead, you’ll have to enter the lottery to stand a chance to win a one-night stay at this unique Pokémon-themed hotel. Full entry rules drop on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.
