Inside, TRUNK (HOTEL) offers a fusion of traditional Japanese design with modern, functional elements. Designed by Jamo Associates and Line-Inc, the interiors feature locally sourced materials and handcrafted furniture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The hotel emphasizes a minimalist aesthetic with clean lines, subtle textures, and a serene color palette. Notably, Japanese-made furniture from local brands like Truck and Tokyo Cork Project adds a distinctive touch of craftsmanship, while sustainable design choices such as upcycled wood from reclaimed Japanese houses underscore the hotel's commitment to eco-conscious luxury.

 

A true cultural hub, TRUNK (HOTEL) frequently hosts both permanent and rotating art exhibitions by contemporary artists such as Ido Yoshimoto and David Horvitz, further elevating the hotel’s dynamic and creative atmosphere.
