Hi everyone,
Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes a special moment for us, the anniversary of our hotel, which first opened its doors on March 1st, 2024.
On a typical early spring day, sunny and pleasantly warm, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary by gathering a wonderful mix of local vendors, creators, and artists who joined us for this special occasion.
Several flower shops brought their own unique floral touch to the event, filling the space with color and the feeling of spring. Alongside them, visitors could explore vintage clothing,
Our food and beverage team also took part in the celebration, selling fresh vegetables from our partner farm. Our bakery chef prepared a wide variety of special breads for the occasion, making sure no visitor left with an empty stomach. These proved very popular and quickly sold out.
The vendors and creators filled the space of Shibuya Bridge Building A, transforming it into a lively and welcoming marketplace where guests, locals, and travelers could explore and connect.
We were also honored to welcome Ayumi Takahashi, a painter active on the international art scene. During the event, she created a vibrant painting inspired by spring flowers. But the experience didn’t stop there — guests, staff, locals, and visitors were all invited to join in and paint together with the artist. It became a relaxed and joyful moment where people could exchange with the artist and take part in the creative process.
Inside the restaurant space, we hosted several hands-on activities.
One was a candle-making workshop, using leftover candles to create new ones. This sustainable activity was easy to join and enjoyed by both children and adults.

An original drink made with a cordial syrup base. Guests could customize their drink by choosing edible flowers, herbs, and dried fruits, before finishing it with a delicate floral scent spray.
To close the celebration, we enjoyed two live performances produced by Niji no Ehon-ya, a Tokyo-based picture book specialty store. Their performance combined storytelling, songs, and live music, bringing the world of picture books to life on stage.
It was a performance that delighted children while also charming adults, creating a warm and playful atmosphere to end the day.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this special milestone.
We look forward to continuing to create a place where guests, locals, and creators can gather, connect, and share memorable moments in Shibuya.
Opened in March 2024! A hostel-hotel in Shibuya that harmonizes with history.
