“I want to pack light, but I don’t want to sacrifice comfort.” “I just want to properly unwind.” “I need to focus on work — or just have some quality time to myself.” “I want to try something a little different from my usual routine.” Sound familiar?
At HOTEL GRAPHY SHIBUYA, we’ve got you covered. With over 100 rental items on offer — from games and relaxation gear to those little things you didn’t know you needed — there’s something for every kind of stay.
In this article, we’re spotlighting some of our most popular picks.
Request Anytime from Your Phone — How to Browse Our Rental Items
LIVELY HOTELS’ mobile service lets you handle everything from your smartphone. Check in online, request amenities, charge purchases to your room, chat with staff, and even request a late checkout — all from the palm of your hand.

A Little Extra Care, Even on the Road — Personal Care & Grooming Items
◼️ Hair Irons We offer hair irons from two brands — ReFa and Salonia — each available in both curling and straightening styles.
If you’re putting together a full hair and makeup look, you might also love our lighted mirror. With adjustable brightness levels and a compact design, it works beautifully wherever you set it up.
Rental example: ReFa STRAIGHT IRON PRO (left) and ReFa BEAUTECH CURL IRON PRO (top right), provided by ReFa (MTG Co., Ltd.)
We also have a steam iron and ironing board available. Whether you’ve got a special occasion ahead or just noticed some wrinkles after packing, this one’s a real lifesaver before heading out.
Turn Your Room into a Private Cinema — Mobile Projector
One of the most popular rentals among guests in our Superior Double and Double Rooms is the Anker mobile projector. Project onto your room’s wall and suddenly you’ve got your very own private theater.
Watch your favorite movies, series, or live concert footage on a big screen — then settle back into bed and enjoy. It’s the kind of indulgence that makes a hotel stay feel truly special.
For Work Sessions or Fan Deep-Dives — Power & Tech Accessories
Need to get some work done during your stay? Forgot your charger? No worries. We’ve got you covered with charging cables (Lightning / Type-C / Micro USB), extension cords, and a laptop stand.
And here’s a fun bonus: connect the mobile projector with an HDMI cable and you can mirror your smartphone screen directly onto the wall.
Unwind and Recharge — Comfort Extras
After a day of exploring, nothing beats being able to fully stretch out. Our extra pillows, bed table, and blankets are perfect for a cozy night in — or for a full-on “do-not-disturb” stay-in-your-room kind of day.
The standout here is the Yogibo “Traybo” bed table. It stays stable on the bed while you read or watch videos, and it’s so convenient that some guests have actually gone out and bought one for themselves after trying it here.
You might find something in our rental lineup that you’ve been curious about for a while — think of your stay as the perfect chance to give it a try.
Games & Entertainment
As a hostel hotel, one of HOTEL GRAPHY SHIBUYA’s biggest draws is the chance to connect with other guests. The rooftop terrace and the lounge — home to a seriously fun billiard table — are social spaces where travelers from all over the world swap local tips, share stories, and sometimes stumble into unexpected friendships. A casual “Where are you from?” can be the start of something memorable. It’s that rare mix of hostel-style openness and hotel-level comfort, all in one place.
And here’s an idea: why not challenge a fellow guest to a board game? Pull someone in from the terrace or lounge, pick a game, and make a night of it. You might bond over a shared hobby, or learn how a game is played in someone else’s corner of the world. It’s exactly the kind of moment that turns a trip into a real memory.
