To meet the traditional Japanese design around Hotel Okura Tokyo.


There is no description about the Traditional Japanese design in Hotel Okura Tokyo at the official website. It left just one month till this hotel closing. In these future articles, I will describe about the Okura design and I hope the customer will walk around the hotel to find the lovely designs.


Bring back the match box with your memories at Hotel Okura Tokyo.
The customers are able to bring a box of match designed with the Hotel Okura interior.

The Okura Lantern


The yellow warm light coming through the Japanese paper, Washi were shining above our head. This warm yellow light is one of the signatures of Hotel Okura. When we come into the hotel in the evening, this light will implicate with you into the Okura atmosphere. The lamp was vertically hanged from the roof. This straight vertical line showed the high roof at the lobby.

This lamp was inspired from the faceted glass on the Tumulus period (250-538 CE). The faceted glass, whose shape was rhombic hexahedrons, was made of glass, crystal or agate. The faceted glass was jewelry, hanged around the neck of ladies or gentleman.

Coming through the entrance, you will find the six sets of the five lamps hang from the roof. The sets are configured as the hexagon.
