ONE GARDEN Brings Wellness, Creativity, and Community to THE LIVELY TOKYO AZABUJUBAN.
From May 29 to 31, 2026, THE LIVELY TOKYO AZABUJUBAN partnered with ONE GARDEN, a collective of wellness and lifestyle brands, to host a three-day pop-up event across the hotel’s 2F Lounge and 9F Bar.
Centered around fragrance, sound, food, and mindful living, the event brought together immersive experiences that encouraged meaningful interactions between brands, creators, and guests. Following the enthusiastic response to its debut, ONE GARDEN will return from August 6 to 8, 2026.
About ONE GARDEN
ONE GARDEN is a collaborative project that brings together brands with a shared passion for wellness and lifestyle. For this pop-up, each participating brand presented an experience that reflected its own philosophy and craftsmanship.
Guests were free to explore the venue at their own pace, discovering fragrance, chai, sound healing, and palo santo through a series of interactive experiences. More than a retail pop-up, ONE GARDEN became a welcoming community where conversations unfolded naturally and meaningful connections were made.
A Personalized Fragrance Experience by Ōdes
Ōdes is a fragrance brand that embraces scent as a wellness ritual, creating moments of calm and reflection in everyday life. Through its carefully crafted fragrances, the brand seeks to bring a sense of balance and quiet richness to both spaces and daily routines.
Founder and Creative Director LINA SHIGEMITSU studied landscape architecture before beginning her career at an architectural design firm. Today, she works as a perfumer while guiding holistic wellness practices such as aromatherapy and meditation. Her personalized fragrance experiences are designed to help individuals connect with their senses and express their unique identities. Sessions are available in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean.
Ōdes has collaborated with organizations including Google Japan, embassies, international institutions, creative communities, and leading brands, while also participating in department store pop-ups and events both in Japan and abroad.
During the event, guests explored a wide selection of fragrance ingredients, comparing scent samples before choosing their favorites. Based on each guest’s selections, a perfumer blended the fragrance by hand on the spot, creating a one-of-a-kind perfume tailored to the individual.
Discovering Authentic Chai with AYLA KAMAKURA CHAI
Based in Kamakura, AYLA KAMAKURA CHAI specializes in authentic Pink Kashmiri Chai and Masala Chai, introducing the rich tradition of chai culture to audiences in Japan.
The brand was founded by Arishba, a British Pakistani born and raised in London, after she realized that the traditional Kashmiri chai she had always enjoyed was nearly impossible to find in Japan. She was later joined by co-founder Ari, who has Japanese and Pakistani roots and had long dreamed of opening his own chai café after years of perfecting his own recipes at home. Together, they established AYLA KAMAKURA CHAI to share authentic chai and the culture surrounding it.
Throughout the event, guests enjoyed freshly prepared Pink Kashmiri Chai and Masala Chai while chatting with the brand’s team, experiencing not only the drinks themselves but also the stories and traditions behind them.
Palo Santo & Personal Engraving by February First
Fxxxxxxx Fxxxx (February First) is a culture and lifestyle brand known for products that bring subtle character and refined accents to everyday life.
For ONE GARDEN, the brand presented an experience inspired by the theme of “fragrance rituals,” centered around natural palo santo. Guests could personalize their purchase with laser engraving, adding names, initials, or short messages to create a truly one-of-a-kind keepsake. Whether purchased as a personal item, a souvenir from Japan, or a thoughtful gift, each engraved piece became uniquely meaningful. As the engraving process released palo santo’s distinctive aroma, guests enjoyed a multisensory experience that combined craftsmanship with fragrance.
Often referred to as “Holy Wood,” palo santo is native to South America and has traditionally been used for purification and relaxation. Its warm woody aroma with subtle citrus notes has made it popular for mindfulness and meditation practices. Harvested only from naturally fallen trees, it is also valued as a sustainable natural material.
Sound Healing Sessions by WAVE SPACE
On the hotel’s 9F, WAVE SPACE hosted group sound healing sessions using singing bowls, offering guests an opportunity to unwind through sound and vibration.
Rather than simply listening, participants experienced the vibrations throughout their bodies. The sound waves travel through both the air and the body’s natural water content, and are believed to help encourage deep relaxation by influencing brain waves and the autonomic nervous system. Singing bowl therapy is also associated with stress reduction, improved sleep quality, and overall well-being, while its non-contact format offers a comfortable and private wellness experience.
Building a Community Through Wellness
By extending the event beyond the 2F Lounge to include the 9F space, ONE GARDEN transformed multiple areas of the hotel into places for discovery, conversation, and connection. Throughout the three days, brands, creators, and guests came together through a shared interest in wellness and lifestyle, highlighting the hotel’s potential as a hub for community and culture.
At THE LIVELY TOKYO AZABUJUBAN, we will continue exploring new ways to use our spaces—not only as a place to stay, but also as a destination where culture, creativity, and community come together.
The next edition of ONE GARDEN is scheduled for August 6–8, 2026. We look forward to welcoming guests once again for another inspiring weekend of wellness, lifestyle, and meaningful connections at THE LIVELY TOKYO AZABUJUBAN.
