A guest house where you can become one with books! I stayed at BOOK AND BED TOKYO!

I want to be engrossed in reading a book all day long.
I want to fall asleep while reading a book.
I want to become one with the book and fit into the bookshelf.

The last one is a bit of an exaggeration, but if you're a book lover or avid reader, it's something you've dreamed of at least once - staying in a bookstore and spending the whole day reading books.
This dream would never be possible unless you got a job at a bookstore, but now there's a guesthouse in Tokyo where you can make it come true.

The name is "BOOK AND BED TOKYO,"
which literally translates to "books and beds."
This time, we actually stayed at the Asakusa branch!

The entrance is a hidden door! It's like entering a secret base!

It's on the fifth floor of a building close to Sensoji Temple.
Take the elevator up and you'll immediately find the front desk.
First, you check in at the front desk, but to my surprise, there are only lockers around.
There's no bookshelf, not even a door.

"Is the front desk on the 5th floor and the accommodation on another floor?"

Just as I was thinking that, the receptionist said, "Please touch your card key there,"
pointing to a sensor next to the locker.
Yes, this locker was actually a hidden door leading to the inside!

Amazing! It's like a secret base!
BOOK AND BED TOKYO makes you excited right from the entrance.
What is it like inside?

Capsule hotel? No, this isn't a capsule, it's a bookshelf!

When you open the hidden door, you'll find yourself in a neat and tidy bookstore-like space.
This is it.
This is the space that book lovers from all over the world have been waiting for!

There's a bookshelf on one wall, and a capsule hotel-style bed on the other.
In the middle is a spacious, comfortable sofa and a long table perfect for working on a computer.
The relaxing atmosphere is reminiscent of a coffee shop.

As I walked around looking at the books on the shelves, I noticed some places where there were no books. These
places were capsule hotel-style private rooms.
At BOOK AND BED TOKYO, you can actually stay inside a bookshelf!

I never expected that it would even fulfill my exaggerated dream of fitting into a bookshelf, as I mentioned at the beginning!
BOOK AND BED TOKYO, you scary kid!

From picture books to foreign books! A space where you can find a variety of books

Now, what book lovers will be interested in is the library.
The library doesn't have a large number of books, but the carefully selected selection is sure to excite you!
From hardcovers and paperbacks to picture books, design books, and even foreign books, you'll find a wide variety of books that will complement the hotel's atmosphere.

One of the most recommended is the "So interesting you won't be able to sleep" series.
You'll get so engrossed in reading that you'll eventually run out of energy and fall asleep, so give it a try!

Enjoy your reading time at the attached cafe and bar!

BOOK AND BED TOKYO has a cafe and bar
where you can purchase stylish drinks to spice up your reading time.

I couldn't help but buy the Bamboo Charcoal Lemonade, which is a stylish drink that looks great on Instagram.
The drink, with its distinctly different colors, is sure to look great!
It has a high-quality flavor with a high level of lemon acidity and bitterness. It
's not overpowering, though, so it really complemented my leisurely reading time.

Is it okay if you don't stay overnight? Hotels that you can use during the day!

In fact, even those who are not staying at the hotel can use BOOK AND BED TOKYO.
During the daytime hours from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, you can travel into the world of books for just 500 yen per hour! What's more
, you can even use it for free time for just 1,500 yen!

Although you won't be able to use the private rooms or showers, if you want to fulfill your dream of being buried in a book or if you want to immerse yourself in reading in a stylish and peaceful environment, why not try using the facility during the day?
