IoT Hostel to Open in Hakata

&and Hostel, a lodging facility where you can experience the Internet of Things (IoT), is slated to open in Hakata Ward in early August. Patrons will be able to use their smartphones to open doors, operate lights, and so on. The 11-room hostel is the brainchild of Tokyo-based mobile app developer And Factory. The company chose Fukuoka due to the prospect for increased extended-stay inbound tourism. The project was crowdfunded, and the company plans work with partner companies and universities to figure out how to make use of IoT user data. Accommodations start at ¥2,800/night.
