A Tokyo hotel has set up crying rooms specifically for women – complete with luxury tissues and a selection of ‘girly’ films.

The Mitsui Garden Yotsuya hotel in the ward of Shinjuku said the rooms are designed to allow female guests to ‘cry heartily’ in comfort.

It’s part of an effort to help them to de-stress or overcome any emotional problems that may be plaguing them, the hotel said.

The hotel announced the promotion in a press release that said the rooms are meant for women.

It made no mention about the offer being made available to men who need a good cry.

The crying rooms feature luxury tissues that female guests can use to ‘gently wipe away their tears’ and avoid ‘swollen eyes’ the following morning, makeup remover and a steam eye mask.

They can also choose from a selection of manga comic books or films that tend to make viewers cry, including Forrest Gump and the South Korean film A Moment to Remember.

Mitsui Garden Yotsuya hotel is charging 10,000 Japanese yen per night (approximately £55 or $83) for the special promotion, which is available until August 31.

The hotel already offers rooms just for women, and those who book the crying room package will stay in a ‘ladies moderate single’ room.
