TRUNK (HOTEL) is the transmission point of a new style of social contribution called <Socializing>.
<Socializing> is "to live true to yourself, without undue pressure, but with a life-sized social purpose."
Hotel interior and design.Amenities and minibar in the rooms.Items, which can be purchased at the store, the takeout coffee··· Here exists various schemes that allow you to experience socializing.
It is a hotel for all people who are living the “now”, and whose desires are to “be of help to someone” and to “do something for a reason”.

Considering its creative credentials, Tokyo is surprisingly lacking in design hotels. The tide may turn, however, with the arrival of Trunk (Hotel), which has just opened its doors in the Shibuya district.
Expanses of recycled woods, tiered balconies and aromatic herb gardens set a contemporary tone at the hotel, housed in two four-storey buildings designed by local outfit Mount Fuji Architects. Inside, the 15 guest rooms, have been designed by Jamo Associates, and are more in keeping with a modern home than a hotel: there are wooden tables by Osaka furniture designers Truck, indigo patchwork wall hangings, monochrome bathroom tiling, organic made-in-Japan toiletries and vintage-style bedside Roland radio speakers.
Craft coffees and cocktails are served to locals as well as guests in the lively lounge and terrace, which is set around the base of a leafy Zelcova tree alongside large white cushions made from refashioned boat sails. Other highlights include its restaurant, Kitchen, complete with a large chef’s table at the back, a small kushiyaki grilled meat outlet, a pop up space, four banquet rooms and a clean-lined wooden rooftop chapel (guaranteed to be bit a hit in wedding-crazed Tokyo).
Local and eco are keywords throughout with a selection of dried fruits in the guest rooms from a nearby Shibuya fruit shop, dead stock denim staff aprons and a fleet of customised up-cycled abandoned Tokyo bicycles.
Perhaps best of all, the hotel even has its own convenience store, a minimal white affair by Torafu Architects, selling treats such as homemade onigiri rice balls and coconut popcorn plus craft beers and wines made in Tokyo, alongside a range of Trunk-branded products.

Opened in between Shibuya and Harajuku in May 2017, the boutique-style Trunk Hotel aims to really let guests experience the best of the surrounding area during their stay. The hotel lounge hosts parties every Friday night, while other community-oriented happenings are also set to be rolled out over the coming months. As for the art-filled rooms, you get to choose from seven types, including singles (from ¥27,000), a 'junior suite' (¥92,000) with beds for six, and a 'terrace suite' that can be had for a cool ¥570,000 per night. The terrace suite is equipped with a spacious balcony, while the full suite boasts an all-inclusive kitchen. All rooms are stocked with Made-in-Japan, environmentally friendly bathroom amenities, which can also be bought at the shop on the ground floor.
