A single townhouse for private buyout in the historic Kagurazaka district, with a disco, garden bath, and private butler and chef on call.
TRUNK (HOUSE) takes a former Yamaji townhouse in Kagurazaka, one of Tokyo’s last neighborhoods to hold onto its narrow stone lanes and old geisha-quarter atmosphere, and reworks it into a single-key hotel for exclusive buyout.
The concept is what the team calls a Tokyo Salon, a nod to the backstreet eateries and tucked-away restaurants that once shaped the city’s cultural life. Guests have the run of the house and can host as they please, building the evening around private dinners, drinks, or whatever the night calls for.
Inside, the layout runs to a living room, garden bath, and full disco floor, with a private butler and private chef on hand throughout the stay. The interiors lean on Japanese craft and a curated art collection.

Dining
A private chef cooks for guests at the open kitchen, working from a menu built around the ingredients of the day rather than a fixed list. Meals are designed to be watched as much as eaten, with the chef on hand for conversation throughout. Complimentary wagashi desserts are prepared daily, customised to the weather, the season, and guest preferences.
Wellness and amenities
The garden bath is the centrepiece of the wellness offering, set behind the townhouse. In-room amenities are sourced from Japanese and French heritage makers, including Hender Scheme leather goods, Fiber Art Studio textiles, Suteteco pyjamas, Hiyoshiya umbrellas, Caring Japan organic skincare, Okamura bamboo toothbrushes, and Officine Universelle Buly toothpaste. Alain Milliat juices and Higashiya bean confectionery round out the in-room edibles.
Location
TRUNK (HOUSE) sits in Kagurazaka, one of central Tokyo’s most atmospheric neighbourhoods, known for its narrow stone-paved lanes, hidden restaurants, and the lingering character of its former geisha quarter. The townhouse is tucked into a residential side street, with the main Kagurazaka-dori running nearby for restaurants, sake bars, and boutiques. Shinjuku and the Imperial Palace are both within easy reach.
