TRUNK(HOUSE)

The Best Honeymoon Hotels in Asia (That Aren’t in the Maldives) | Vogue

"Hidden in the higgledy-piggledy lanes of Tokyo’s Kagurazaka district (also known as ‘Little Kyoto’),Trunk(House)helps its guests experience the city in a way few other hotels can. As an offshoot from homegrown hotel brand Trunk, this hush-hush hideaway takes over a former geisha house and melds the building’s classic Japanese trimmings with eye-popping artworks and mid-century modern furnishing. The surrounding lantern-lined alleys dotted withizakayasand sake bars beg for exploration, and Trunk’s team of clued-in locals can guide you to the best spots. That said, it’s dangerously easy to simply stay in: the house’s bathroom feels like a privatesento(bathhouse) with a tub crafted from hinoki cypress wood and tongue-in-cheek erotic tilework by artist Masumi Ishikawa. There’s also a closet-sized disco with a karaoke kit and cocktail bar, and butlers on call to arrange tea ceremonies and private chef meals. The best part? There’s only one tatami-floored bedroom with a cloud-soft futon bed, which means you have the house all to yourselves." - Chris Schalkx
