Janu Tokyo (Minato-ku, Tokyo, General Manager Atsushi Shibata), a luxury lifestyle hotel located within the creative new town of Azabudai Hills, will host "The GUESTS," a collaboration project with French artist Jean Jullien, known for his colorful and playful works, for a limited summer period from July 1 (Wed), 2026, to September 30 (Wed).
Janu Tokyo offers hospitality that fosters "connection," "inspiration," and "curiosity" through art, culture, nature, and lifestyle. We have prepared a special project to deliver a time of excitement and stimulated curiosity for children and adults alike, within our cool hotel premises during Japan's hot summer.
Throughout the period, Jean Jullien's iconic "PAPER PEOPLE" series, created for this collaboration, will appear throughout the hotel. Art will resonate with the hotel space to create a new stay experience, and Janu Patisserie will offer limited-edition products inspired by this collaboration, along with cute surprises.
"Hello, visitors. Ten unexpected guests have settled in at Janu Tokyo. They are flat, colorful, and a little lost. If you see them, please don't hesitate to say hello."
― Jean Jullien
