The concept of this lodging facility is "a bookstore where you can stay overnight.BOOK AND BED TOKYOThe first opened in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, in November 2015, followed by Kyoto and Fukuoka.
And now, the fourth store, "BOOK AND BED TOKYO Asakusa," has opened in Asakusa, one of Japan's most popular tourist destinations.
One of the features of "BOOK AND BED TOKYO Asakusa" is that the building is divided in two, with "bookstore where you can stay" and "bar where you can stay" as themes.
A bed is embedded in the bookshelf, as if sleeping inside the bookshelf. In addition, a full-fledged café bar drink menu is offered, and daytime lounge space is available for use by non-guests.
The bookshelf that fills half of the museum and can hold up to 3,000 books is an impressive sight. Book selection is handled by SHIBUYA PUBLISHING & BOOKSELLERS (SPBS).
It provides the happiest "sleeping moment" experience that everyone has probably experienced at least once: falling asleep while reading a book.
NOWHAW×BOOK AND BED TOKYO pajamas ¥20,000+TAX
The original pajamas, which have been well-received each time, are of course designed and produced by the pajama brand NOWHAW.
The theme is "in half"! Sales are limited in quantity.Home Pageand are available at the Asakusa branch. Rental for guests is also available.
In this way, "BOOK AND BED TOKYO" is a concept that sets it apart from existing lodging facilities. Due to its location in Asakusa, I assume that the target customers are foreign visitors to Japan and domestic travelers, but of course, it can also be used for ordinary business trips and the like. I have a feeling that the number of such new-style accommodations will continue to increase.
