Hotel New Otani Makuhari is bringing back its beloved Shell Pool Night Pool experience from July 7 to September 16, 2024, transforming summer evenings into a surreal, pink-hued escape. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of a luxury overseas resort, this seasonal event invites guests to indulge in an elegant and photogenic retreat right in the heart of Makuhari.
Nicknamed “Makuhari’s Oasis,” the Shell Pool provides an alternative for those seeking the vibrancy of summer without the sun exposure. Designed especially for adults, the night pool has been featured in TV dramas, commercials, and music videos, offering a picturesque setting for both relaxation and social sharing.
This year’s theme, “Pink Moment,” is inspired by the natural phenomenon where the evening sky glows pink as the sun dips below the horizon. During the pool’s evening hours, the entire area will be bathed in pink lighting, transforming the venue into an enchanting and atmospheric space. Every corner of the pool glows under whimsical illumination, creating a fairytale-like setting that feels both immersive and unforgettable.
Limited-Time Pink-Themed Menu
The pink experience extends beyond the visuals with a limited-edition food and drink menu. A highlight of the offering is the “Pink × Pink Smash Cheeseburger” (¥3,300 incl. service) — a bold new creation featuring a vivid pink beet bun, juicy double-patty made from premium Japanese beef, pink mayo sauce, cheddar cheese, and fresh tomato. Whether enjoyed solo or shared, it’s a satisfyingly indulgent meal that perfectly matches the event’s theme.
Pair it with the “Pink Fruit Fizz” (¥1,500 incl. service) — a vibrant, fizzy pink drink made with red dragon fruit and soda. Served in a branded bottle guests can take home, this refreshing beverage is as photogenic as it is flavorful, making it ideal for poolside Instagram moments.
Weekly DJ Events Every Friday Night
To elevate the atmosphere even further, a live DJ performance by some of Japan’s top talent will be held every Friday night during the event period. The high-energy sets promise to infuse the night pool with the sounds of summer, making for a truly memorable evening.
Stay the Night: “Night Pool & Stay” Plan
For those looking to unwind after a night under the stars, the hotel offers a special “Night Pool & Stay” plan, which includes same-day access to the pool. Guests can check in from 5:00 PM, relax in their rooms, and enjoy the pool at their leisure. Afterward, unwind in the comfort of your room or relive the night’s memories with friends until checkout at 10:00 AM the following morning.
