A Community-Rooted Hostel Hotel "HOTEL GRAPHY Nezu"
HOTEL GRAPHY Nezu is a hostel hotel nestled in a residential area in Tokyo's downtown "Yanesen" (a collective term for the three areas of Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi). Under the concept of "Meet Local. Feel Global.", it is utilized by locals and guests from Japan and abroad as a place where travelers from all over the world and people living in the area gather, allowing them to experience local life and culture while enjoying a free and casual atmosphere like that of an overseas hostel.
Providing a space for interaction among locals and travelers while being an accommodation facility, our hotel has decided to participate again this year as a "landlord" in the "Shinobazu Book Street Hitohako Furuhon Ichi," an event where book lovers can gather and interact.

"Shinobazu Book Street Hitohako Furuhon Ichi"
The "Shinobazu Book Street Hitohako Furuhon Ichi" is a book event that has been held in the Yanesen area since 2005. Various local shops lend out their storefronts to become "landlords," while book-loving vendors become "shopkeepers," creating their own shop names and devising ways to sell one cardboard box worth of used books, essentially opening a one-day-only bookstore.
This year, a total of 5 locations, including local shops and facilities, will participate as "landlords." HOTEL GRAPHY Nezu will also participate in this event as a landlord for its 7th time.
