The BnA Art Hotel has been transformed into a playground of murals & art. Gazetting a truly distinctive and unique identity, the space can cater to both business and leisure trips.
BnA Hotel Koenji consists of two art rooms designed by local artists Yohei Takahashi and Ryuichi “Ogi” Ogino. The Hotel is also the first of its kind in Japan as each artists receive a share of the profits from each room booking.
The first room by Yohei Takahashi is called “Into The Foreign” and features a forest like atmosphere and a pack of wolves running on the wind. The second room by Ryuichi “Ogi” Ogino is entitled “Ten” and in this one the outside world seems to slip away, here your thoughts travel along zigzag lines and spiral ceilings, drifting in and out of lucid dreams.
By supporting the local artistic community, the BnA team is hoping to further develop their project and bring further art afficionados and tourists to the area. Several achievements were already made thanks to the rooms such as artists being sent to San Francisco or Sydney for exhibitions!
In addition, the BnA team also work on the Koenji Mural City Project and hosts an Artist in Residence program which provides free accommodation to international artists giving them time and creative space to transform the gallery into their own personal installation.
