  • "GRILL DINING Makibi". The restaurant has equipment for cooking over a fire, allowing you to enjoy your meal around the fire. This restaurant has an entertainment feel to it, as it is the former site of one of Asakusa's most famous theaters.

  • The Hanamichi (walkway) connecting the two lobbies. In keeping with the fact that this was once a sacred place for Kabuki, home to the three Edo theatres, the corridor is designed to resemble a Kabuki hanamichi (walkway) with wall reliefs inspired by the patterns of Kabuki actors.

About the Project

Overview The ASAKUSA VIEW HOTEL Hotel, celebrating its 33rd anniversary in Asakusa, Tokyo, a district where various forms of entertainment from different eras coexist, is undergoing a renovation project. The project aims to strengthen branding and increase accommodation and food and beverage sales through renovations to guest rooms, restaurants, and other areas. As the final chapter of the project, our company was responsible for the complete renovation of the 1st-floor lobby, which serves as the hotel's face.
Issues/Themes While retaining the Asakusa feel, we aimed to create a high-class lobby floor that was in line with the increase in ADR (average daily rate), thereby enhancing the hotel's brand and contributing to increased sales from accommodation and food and beverages.
Space Solution/Realization The concept of the lobby floor renovation is "ASAKUSA FOUR ROOMS." The charm of Asakusa is expressed in four spaces: the public lobby (First Lobby), the lobby for hotel guests only (Second Lobby), the passageway (Hanamichi) connecting the two lobbies, and a restaurant with a firewood symbol. The First Lobby Spatial Production global harmony, aiming to become a new landmark in Asakusa. The Second Lobby features a portable shrine storehouse, creating a space where you can experience the real Asakusa. The restaurant "GRILL DINING Takigibi" provides a place where you can enjoy food and performances cooked over a firewood. The Hanamichi is a dignified passageway space where customers take center stage.
