"A boutique hotel facing the Tokyo Stock Exchange in Kabutocho, housed in Japan’s very first bank branch established by Eiichi Shibusawa and reimagined in a modern style by a northern European designer. Guest rooms feature handmade furniture from Japanese designers, creating comfortable spaces where Swedish and Japanese cultures coexist." - The MICHELIN Guide

"K5, a vibrant boutique hotel in a former bank building, blends traditional Japanese design with contemporary Swedish style. It features unique rooms with a record player, and public spaces that seamlessly merge a lounge, café, wine bar, and restaurant." - Louise George Kittaka

"Top amenities: Coffee bar, tavern-style craft brewery What’s nearby: Artisan stores in Nihonbashi, bakeries, cafes Housed within a former bank building from the 1920s, K5 maintains both a vintage and contemporary feel with copper-lined elevators and geometric flooring. Twenty spacious rooms feature high ceilings, warm wood textures, and blooming live plants. Free-standing beds are veiled by beautiful white and indigo dye-dipped curtains. Though there are no TVs in the room, guests can take their pick of a vinyl collection or unwind in the bathroom’s standalone bathtub. The ground floor is guided by the Japanese principle of aimai, which celebrates blurred boundaries. This idea translates in the space through interconnected areas that include the small plates Caveman restaurant, foliage framed seats, and a popular coffee bar. On the basement floor sits the tavern-style craft beer spot Brooklyn Brewery —its first location outside of the US." - Kristin Braswell
