I visited Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo, which just opened this year in Ginza 6-chome. This place used to be the Asahi Shimbun from 1888 to 1927, Soseki Natsume was the main writer since 1907, and Takuboku Ishikawa served as a proofreader since 1909. As you all know, there is poetry monument of Takuboku.
At the entrance on the first floor, you will be greeted by a map of Ginza made using prints that were actually used for printing until 50 years ago. The red place is this place. You can feel the grid-like appearance of Ginza, which still inherits the town layout of the Edo period, with a three-dimensional effect.
The walls of the atrium on the 3rd and 4th floors are printed with contemporary art.
In 1872, a brick street was built with the prestige of the government, but it was not easily accepted by general stores, and newspapers focused on convenient transportation and good information collection gathered. For a time, Ginza became a city where about 200 affiliated companies such as newspapers and printing houses gathered.
Printing in that era was to engrave letters into metal, print letters side by side, and print them. Imagine while looking at the wall that made Toppan Printing at that time into art, how much effort and time it took.
There are character art works everywhere, and the fun to look for is tickled, and it seems that this hotel aims to be a base for visitors to know, feel, and experience the charm of Ginza.
At the dining & bar on the 3rd floor, paper that comes out by trial printing at the start of newspaper printing and paper that is discarded is used as wallpaper.
Also, in Ginza, you can spend a time being cut off from cars and people while being blown by the unusual outside wind. The space with the opposite building of Namiki-dori St. is exactly the town layout space between 7 Yokocho since the Edo period. From now to the past, from the past to the present, and from the future. It is a valuable place to hit in Ginza, where you can indulge in the fantasy trip of time. By all means, why don't you use it for accommodation in the middle of silver bra?
