Japanophile gamers might want to make a trip to Osaka in April next year

Gamers who are also Japanophiles might want to make a trip to Osaka to check out esports hotel e-ZONe (電脳空間).

This esports-themed hotel is slated to open in April 2020.

There will be three floors that house a total of 71 high-end gaming PCs with live-streaming capabilities.

The fourth to eighth floors are meant for the hotel suites, and according to the artist concept of a typical room, it will also feature gaming equipment from desktop PCs to gaming gear that includes the all-too-familiar gaming chairs.

The hotel room rates haven't been published yet. From the map, it appears to within walking distance from Namba Station; however, its exact address hasn't been firmed up yet.
