Shinjuku Prince Hotel Launches Summer Mystery Night Stay: A Haunted Taxi Tour Experience | August 5–8, 2026

Shinjuku Prince Hotel (located at 1-30-1 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; General Manager: Manabu Takeiri) is launching a new accommodation plan titled 'Mystery Night Stay: Haunted Taxi Tour' in collaboration with Sanwa Kotsu Co., Ltd.'s 'Haunted Spot Pilgrimage Tour'.

This unique package combines Sanwa Kotsu's popular 'Haunted Spot Pilgrimage Tour'—known for its real-life fear experience via taxi—with a horror movie screening in Shinjuku Prince Hotel’s immersive guest room, the 'Immerse Room'. It is a limited-time, experience-based summer stay program.

Japan’s summers are growing increasingly severe, with the term 'extreme heat day' (referring to days exceeding 40°C) now part of common vocabulary. This plan offers a spine-chilling experience to help guests forget the oppressive heat. The hotel-based haunted taxi tour takes guests to mysterious locations around Tokyo, with drivers narrating chilling ghost stories, creating a uniquely surreal summer night experience.

After the tour, guests can enjoy a horror movie in the Immerse Room, equipped with a 75-inch smart TV, synchronized lighting effects, and Dolby Atmos speakers. The integration of visuals, audio, and spatial design delivers a fully immersive horror stay.

To ensure a deeper immersive experience, this plan is offered for only four days with just four groups accommodated in total.

This is a rare, exclusive Mystery Night Stay available to only a select few. Experience an unforgettable, chilling summer night with Shinjuku Prince Hotel’s unique blend of real fear and luxury hospitality.
