About the Project
| Overview | This newly built hotel is located in Asakusa Roku-ku, Tokyo's entertainment mecca, where the "Edo Sanza" Kabuki theatres were based in the past and where movie theatres, comedy halls and theatres have been lining the streets since the early Showa period. Taking into account the location's historic traditions and performing arts culture, the concept is for guests to take home memories of the land as a part of their travels. With the cooperation of Shochiku Co., Ltd., the museum features a variety of features that give visitors a sense of the history of entertainment, from Kabuki to film. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | The facility will serve as a new base for Tourism in Asakusa, allowing guests to enjoy the past and present of Asakusa while staying overnight. |
| Space Solution/Realization | The theme is "Kabuki and Cinema." The wooden timberwork of the Edo-period Kabukiza theater, recreated at the entrance, and a camera left behind at Shochiku Ofuna Film Studio, reminiscent of the movie theater that once stood here, are some of the things that have transformed the memory of the land into an experience that can only be had here. Furthermore, by placing real Kabuki props and art that recreates the unique Kabuki characters throughout the building, guests are given the opportunity to come into contact with ancient culture and local performing arts, creating a space where they can experience surprise and discovery. |
| Design for Environment | 3R design: Cypress stage boards that were scheduled to be discarded when the Ginza Kabukiza stage was re-covered were reused for the stage boards in the hotel. This not only made effective use of resources, but also contributed to the preservation of history and increased buzz. |
