“We want people from overseas to know more about Japanese art. We want to create a world where artists can flourish across borders.”

BnA Hotel Koenji is a hotel operating based on this concept and one where you can enjoy artwork in its various areas. There are rooms designed by the many artists who reside in Tokyo along with a café and bar decorated with various works based on the period of the year. This is a hotel that those who wish to appreciate Japanese art will definitely want to visit.

An Entire Room Expressing the World of Art

Room 1: Into the Foreign

Upon entering the room, your eyes will immediately land on a mural of several wolves that seem as if they will run out of the painting at any time. One side of the wall near the entrance is painted in black, but upon walking past the washbasin, bath, and toilet and arriving in the room, wolves overflowing with dynamism will appear from within the walls that were once black.

The person who handled the design of this room is an artist active in the Koenji area. The room was made to look as if you were in a forest, with stones filling the area near the window and a hangar rack made using a tree branch, and was attentively designed down to the finest details.

Wood is used as the primary material and contrasts with the energy exuding from the wolves, making the room an area where guests are able to relax well in.
