BnA STUDIO Akihabara

BnA Studio Tokyo | Best places to stay in Tokyo

"Opened in 2018, this boutique hotel from the BnA art and design collective may only have five rooms, but each is out of this world – it’s a functional art installation, where cutting-edge contemporary art and elements of traditional Japanese design have been merged to create a genuinely unique place to stay. Beyond the accommodation, basing yourself here also means the chance to tap into Tokyo’s art and design scene at the MIKKE co-working space. You’d be supporting local artists too, as the people who designed each room get a cut of the profit from each booking. The location, in the otaku (geek) culture mecca that is Akihabara, might seem unusual, but this part of town also has a growing art and design scene, and it offers easy train access to most major districts.
