TRUNK (HOUSE) takes a former Yamaji townhouse in Kagurazaka, one of Tokyo’s last neighborhoods to hold onto its narrow stone lanes and old geisha-quarter atmosphere, and reworks it into a single-key hotel for exclusive buyout.
The concept is what the team calls a Tokyo Salon, a nod to the backstreet eateries and tucked-away restaurants that once shaped the city’s cultural life. Guests have full use of the house and can host as they please, building the evening around private dinners, drinks, or whatever the night calls for.
Inside, the layout covers a living room, garden bath, and full disco floor, with a private butler and private chef on hand throughout the stay. The interiors lean on Japanese craft and a curated art collection, with in-room amenities sourced from Japanese and French heritage makers.
