The Grand Chariot Hokutoshichisei, an upscale resort with 23 individual cabins, called "cocoons," has converted one of the cabins into an homage to the pink-bowed character, complete with wall art, bedspreads, a mirror and even bath salts bearing Hello Kitty's likeness.

The property is on Japan's Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture. The island, which is about 70 km (43 miles) from Kobe, is particularly renowned for its wonderful stargazing -- fitting, then, that the cabin has been dubbed "Hello Kitty Star's Cocoon."
It has two beds and can hold from two to four people.
The hotel falls along the 135th longitude line, which many believe has healing and restorative properties. To fit with that, the Grand Chariot has cedar soaking bathtubs known as hinoki in each cabin, as well as skylights for optimal stargazing without going outside.
People who love cute characters and travel won't hurt for other Hello Kitty options when they're planning a vacation.
Originally a company that made small home and kitchen goods in the 1960s, it became more successful when its founder, Shintaro Tsuji, came up with the idea of putting cute characters on products like rice bowls and chopsticks to make them stand out.
Hello Kitty -- who, despite the name, is not actually a cat -- made her first appearance on a small plastic coin purse and quickly became a phenomenon, with her likeness on everything from hair dryers to wine.
Coming next -- a Hello Kitty constellation you can see from through the skylight of your glamping cocoon? Never say never.
