Right in the heart of Tokyo’s eclectic Shimokitazawa (‘Shimokita’) district, and based on a revolutionary concept where buzzing Tokyo city is a hot dog and MUSTARD™ HOTEL is the missing ingredient – this property is a new experience from the get-go.
A contemporary haven unlike any other – envisioned by the acclaimed General Design – it’s a dynamic blend of sleek modernity and cosy warmth, and its distinctive approach to customer journeys sets it apart from the ordinary.
Opened in 2021 and set to celebrate its third anniversary in September 2024, MUSTARD™ HOTEL SHIMOKITAZAWA has quickly become a favourite amongst its guests, and a destination that’s not just a homey urban hub for those that arrive – but also a vibrant cultural hotspot where creativity and comfort converge.
Without giving too much away – here are the basics – although you can barely call them that with all there is to offer.
As you step into this artistic sanctuary, you're greeted by a fusion of stylish bunk beds and luxurious suites with private balconies, each crafted to enhance your stay with a touch of unique charm.
Making sure you’re in tune with your surroundings and whatever type of trip you’re on while you’re in Tokyo, every room is also equipped with a retro record player, complemented by a curated selection of over 300 vinyl records available for rent, transforming your stay into a personalised auditory adventure.
Sound good? There’s more. Throughout the hotel you’ll find that the spaces buzz with an ever-changing gallery of art exhibitions and live performances, reflecting the energetic pulse of Tokyo's creative scene, with each corner of the MUSTARD™ HOTEL wonderland thoughtfully designed to immerse you in a world where art and innovation are part of the daily rhythm.
Mornings at the hotel begin with artisanal coffee from The Sidewalk Coffee Roasters – one of the best and most well-known caffeine clubs in ‘Shimokita’ – setting you up perfectly for a day of exploration in one of Tokyo’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
Post outing, as the sun sets, its cool Bar Kurage offers a chilled atmosphere where craft beers and natural wines flow, creating the ideal backdrop for lively conversations with locals and newfound friends, or a nice spot to just unwind, reflecting on your day of exploration.
We could go on, but in essence, it’s this brilliant blend of sophisticated amenities, cutting-edge meets comfortable accomodations, and arty, engaging social spaces which all ensures that your experience at MUSTARD™ HOTEL is somehow relaxing, invigorating and enriching all in one.
Conveniently located just moments from Higashikitazawa and Shimokitazawa stations, this hotel also places you at the centre of a district known for its youthful energy, flair and creativity - which makes it an ideal base.
There’s more to love, and plenty to discover – particularly an exceptional and one-of-a-kind project called CREATORS IN MUSTARD™, which it runs like a hotel version of an artist-in-residence program.
This fascinating feature is one of the many things that sets this property apart, but a signature and standout venture created by MUSTARD™ HOTEL giving exhibitors a unique stage for their works – and something that fits perfectly MUSTARD™ HOTEL’s artistic essence – as Shohei Yoshida, General Manager of MUSTARD™ HOTEL SHIMOKITAZAWA goes on to explain here to Locay.
It’s also one of the key things that makes MUSTARD™ HOTEL Shimokitazawa a must-visit for those seeking to dive into Tokyo's avant-garde spirit, and looking for a little (or a lot) of something different on their Japanese escape.
