Muji Hotel Ginza
MUJI HOTEL GINZA is the first MUJI HOTEL in Japan.
On the 6th floor, you’ll find the lobby, Japanese restaurant “WA”, and ATELIER MUJI GINZA acting as a bridge between the hotel and the retail floors below. Guests can stay in one of 79 guest rooms spread across the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th floors.
The design concept of “Anti-gorgeous, Anti-cheap” inspired the design of the 6th floor. Using materials such as wood, stone, soil, iron, and textiles, among which are reclaimed paving stones from Tokyo Toden said to be around 100-years old, and sheets of iron from decommissioned ships. Together, they emit their sheer beauty and offer rich flavors of time and history. At “WA”, visitors can enjoy Japanese delicacies inspired by the Chef’s travels throughout the country’s various regions, featuring ingredients cultivated in Japan’s temperate climate.
Because the original building was designed for an office, the guest rooms have high ceilings, and thus the impression of a vast space. Guest rooms are stocked with various amenities and items to keep guests entertained. These include shelves of books on “kachou-fuugestu”, a Japanese philosophy encouraging us to experience the beauty of nature, rooms with bunk beds taking advantage of the high ceilings and tatami floors. The interior was fabricated using mainly natural materials found in traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Through its soft textures, it provides a lodging experience with a welcoming familiarity.
With the mission to share design culture with future generations, ATELIER MUJI GINZA is home to two galleries, a fully stocked library of design books and a salon with a large camphor bar counter. Here, visitors can indulge in a calm moment with coffee and cocktails in the middle of busy Ginza. Exhibits and events are curated periodically with themes that convey MUJI’s philosophy and ideas of the future.
By staying at this hotel, guests can enjoy and experience MUJI’s globally proposed aesthetic and comfortable lifestyle on a deeper, more personal level.
