TOKI to TOKI Japanese Traditional Hotel

TOKI to TOKI

TOKI to TOKI in Chinese characters means “season and time” and the designers wish to design a place to simply enjoy changes of the season while time passing slowly. At the lobby, the stools were placed at relatively wide spaces in between to cherish personal space while enjoying the food and communication. The geometrical shaped tatami floor and the pattern by lights are inspired by the river and a willow tree in front of this hotel, and create magical but relaxing atmosphere. At the bar space, they designed the magnificent organic-shaped sofa with textile designer Jotaro SAITO.

TOKI to TOKI Japanese Traditional Hotel by Akitoshi Imafuku has been highlighted as a grand illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. TOKI to TOKI Japanese Traditional Hotel was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020.
