Actions coming soon

The main building of a long-established hotel in Tokyo, which has been loved by both domestic and foreign guests, has been closed for reconstruction. The Hotel Okura, which has served as the “face of Japan” for more than half a century, is currently operating in its annex. During the last three days, many people with precious memories came to the hotel. Families who reserved rooms out of filial piety. An elderly couple warming the memory of their wedding day. An architect with his eyes glued to the interior design that blends Japanese tradition and Western modernity. The drama of life unfolds in the reborn Honkan before the next Tokyo Olympics.
