Down a secluded backstreet in Tokyo’s Kagurazaka neighborhood, a one-of-a-kind rentable townhouse opened for business last month.
Trunk House, operated by the Trunk Hotel that opened 2 years ago, is inspired by everything that Tokyo stands for: the new and the old, the Japanese and the foreign, and the city’s ability to host discreet gathering in its maze of back alleys and side-streets.

Think of it as a micro-hotel: the 2-story space comes with an open kitchen, dining room private garden and disco room on the ground level.
That might seem like a lot to manage, which is why the townhouse comes with a private chef and private attendant, who among other skills is steeped in the art of the tea ceremony.
