Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Kagurazaka in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Trunk House is a cultural epicenter that captivates visitors with its tasteful, maze-like stone paths and a multitude of ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants) and other dining establishments lining its streets.

Steeped in history, Kagurazaka was once situated just outside the outer moat of the Edo Castle, and its district was home to a row of samurai residences. Over the years, it has also flourished as an entertainment district, retaining a nostalgic charm that has attracted renowned writers and politicians. Trunk House embodies the essence of a hotel that Tokyoites themselves would want to stay in.
