Nestled in Tokyo’s vibrant Koenji district, the BnA Hotel (short for Bed and Art) is far more than just a place to stay—it’s an immersive art experience and a community-driven cultural hub. Since opening in 2016, BnA Koenji has played a pivotal role in shaping the creative identity of the neighborhood, staying true to its motto: “Stay in an artwork.” Each room is a “living art” space, uniquely crafted by local artists whose work rotates seasonally, allowing guests to inhabit and interact with art in an entirely original way. The hotel’s design transforms the entire building into a multi-level gallery, blending hospitality with contemporary creativity. The first floor doubles as a reception and a lively bar, often pulsing with curated DJ sets and community events. It’s also home to Masu Masu, an onigiri café that hosts artist exchanges and collaborative gatherings—reflecting the collective spirit of Koenji. The rooftop lounge offers views of the eclectic neighborhood, while the basement serves as a creative lab for artist residencies, complete with a DJ booth and streaming capabilities. Beyond its walls, BnA encourages exploration of local life, urging guests to visit nearby sentos, dine at mom-and-pop eateries, and shop at independent boutiques. The hotel doesn’t just support artists—it actively builds bridges between creatives and the community, even launching the ambitious MCP (Mural City Project) with support from Suginami Ward. This street art festival transformed public spaces into vibrant murals and solidified Koenji’s reputation as a grassroots art capital. Lauded by international media like The Guardian, BnA Hotel Koenji is more than accommodation—it’s a cultural force and a living canvas where serendipitous meetings, artistic collaboration, and neighborhood pride flourish. For travelers seeking inspiration and genuine local connection, BnA Hotel offers an unforgettable fusion of art, stay, and story.
