TRUNK(HOUSE)

About

Tucked into a quiet lane in Kagurazaka, TRUNK(HOUSE) occupies a restored former geisha house that once entertained the neighborhood’s literary set. Reimagined as a single key hotel, it offers the rare Tokyo luxury of absolute privacy. The timber frame and tiled roof preserve the proportions of old Edo, while inside, cedar baths, a private chef’s kitchen and a discreet karaoke room hint at contemporary indulgence. A butler handles the city beyond the door. You step out to stone alleys and ryotei, then return to a residence that feels entirely, improbably your own.
