Each character will have their own stand and dressed in hotel staff attire. Dialogue has been newly recorded for the collaboration room, bringing the stands to life and adding to the interactive experience. The room will be decorated in Backflip!! Paraphernalia and include mini-games to play via the supplied smartphone. Last but not least, hotel guests will receive hotel-exclusive Backflip!! goods to take home with them.

The rooms will be available for stay between 2022.7.1 (fri) to 2022.9.30 (fri). Reservations have already begun as of 2022.6.1 (wed).
