Get ready, Gunpla fans! To celebrate 45 years of Gunpla awesomeness, WHG HOTELS (that's WASHINGTON HOTELS and HOTEL GRACERY) is rolling out a massive collaboration event across 32 hotels in Japan, kicking off July 15th! The event, titled "Gundam R Operation with WHG HOTELS," is set to be an absolute blast.
They're not just celebrating; they're going all out! We're talking 100,000 "EcoPla" starter kits up for grabs for elementary schoolers staying at any of the 32 participating WHG hotels, plus all guests at three special locations. But wait, there's more! Prepare for the ultimate fan experience: the world's first-ever "MG RX-78-2 GUNDAM Ver.3.0 ROOM" is landing in three hotels across Tokyo and Fukuoka for a limited run, complete with exclusive MG Gunpla goodies for every guest.
The "Gundam R Operation with WHG HOTELS" is split into two epic projects:
【PROJECT-1】Free "EcoPla Gunpla Experience Kits" for Kids & Select Guests!
From July 15th to August 31st, any elementary school student checking into one of WHG's 32 hotels will snag a free "EcoPla 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Assembly Experience Version" model kit.
These kits are super easy to build – no tools needed! Perfect for first-timers to dive into the world of Gunpla. Plus, recycling boxes will be set up at check-in to encourage eco-friendly habits, making it a great summer project for budding builders!
Availability: July 15 – August 31, 2025
Who's eligible: Elementary school students staying during the period (while supplies last)
What you get: EcoPla 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam (approx. 12.5cm tall, one per child)
Participating Hotels: All 32 WHG Hotels across Japan
【PROJECT-2】The World's First "MG RX-78-2 GUNDAM Ver.3.0 ROOM" — Prepare for Launch!
Get ready for a game-changer! The planet's first-ever Gundam-themed rooms are launching, with one room each at three prime locations: Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel, Hotel Gracery Tamachi, and Fukuoka Canal City Washington Hotel.
These rooms are a full-on immersion into the RX-78-2 "First Gundam" universe, decked out in full Earth Federation Forces style. Even the bedding features a "moon surface design" complete with the Federation emblem!
Expect exclusive wall art, a professional Gunpla workbench designed like a wraparound cockpit for your building sessions, and even a diorama display for your finished models. All this for ¥45,000 per night, including breakfast, for 1-2 guests.
Not only will you be living the Gundam dream, but you'll also score two awesome commemorative gifts:
1. EcoPla MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0 (Neon Green Recycle Version) → One per room
2. EcoPla 1/144 RX-78-2 Assembly Experience Version → One per guest (same as in Project-1).
