I visited Hyatt St Rick 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 has 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 the type that was actually used in printing until 50 years ago. The red one is here. You can feel the grid-like appearance of Ginza, which inherits the town layout of the Edo period, with a three-dimensional effect.
The stairwell walls on the 3rd and 4th floors have contemporary art in print.
In 1872, a brick street was built with the prestige of the government, but it was not easily accepted by general stores, and newspaper companies gathered with an eye on the convenience of transportation and good information collection. For a while, Ginza became a city where about 200 affiliated companies such as newspaper companies and printing offices gathered.
Printing in that era involves engraving letters on metal, arranging prints side by side, writing, and printing them. Imagine while looking at the wall that made the top print of the time art.
There are letters art works everywhere, and the fun of searching is tickled, and it seems that this hotel aims to be a base for visitors to know, feel, and experience the charm of Ginza.
In the dining & bar on the 3rd floor, the paper that comes out of trial printing at the start of newspaper printing and the paper that is discarded are wallpapers.
In addition, you can spend a moment that is blocked from cars and traffic while being blown by the unusual outside wind in Ginza. The space with the opposite building of Namiki-dori St. is exactly the town layout space between Yokocho 7 from 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, which is also indulge in fantasy trips of time. By all means, why don't you use it for accommodation in the middle of the silver bra?
