Hotel Amenity of the Day: The Washington Hotel in Akihabara, Tokyo, caters to a very specific type of clientele by offering a room equipped with fully-functional model railroad sets designed to resemble the surrounding area.

This name means “a room where you can enjoy staying as an ordinary guestroom as well as enjoying a railroad diorama. Which I never knew anyone wanted to do. Until now.
