I would highly suggest TRUNK (HOTEL), which is a commercial place or industry in Tokyo that is located in the Shibuya area, which is a kind of boutique lifestyle hotel, especially fit for the younger generation travelers. It gathers modern aesthetics of Tokyo with a strong cultural identity in its chic but eco-friendly design and vibrant social areas. Visitors are offered rooftop skyline, regionally made drinks, recycled and vintage material-filled rooms specially selected and designed by Japanese designers.

I am Komal Preet Kaur, and I would like to introduce myself as the owner of The Punjabi Kudi, a wonderfully and uniquely located boutique ryokan in the picturesque hills of Hakone. We are very grateful for the opportunity to share The Punjabi Kudi in your publication, as we are truly proud of The Punjabi Kudi, which is a ryokan like no other, curating an inspiring blend of a stark Japanese aesthetic and an exuberant Punjabi decor. It's essentially a minimalistic interior infused by joyful Punjabi art and textiles. With a total of 8 suites, the other features include private open-air onsens, tatami relaxation areas, and large windows offering breathtaking views of either Mount Fuji or the adjacent forest. In addition, we offer uniquely Japanese and Punjabi cultural activities, for example, yoga sessions with a mountain mist backdrop and handcrafted seasonal tea in specially crafted cups by local artisans. The Punjabi Kudi curates a delightful blend of eastern and western cultures—the stillness of Japan meets the playfulness of the west, for culture, beauty, and a whole lot of fun. As discussed, I am forwarding to you a set of horizontal press images with The Punjabi Kudi's image and credit details. We offer the images along with the credits in high resolution for your browsing. Kindly check our website www.thepunjabikudi.com.au. We are happy to consider your feedback and desire to explore The Punjabi Kudi. Best, Komal Preet Kaur Owner, The Punjabi Kudi komal@thepunjabikudi.com.au +61 468 469 035
This series seems like a great fit for travel readers, especially millennials who want genuine experiences, good design, and value. To get the best submissions, I advise contacting the PR teams for these places: * Hoshinoya Kyoto & Tokyo: They mix old-style inn features with modern design. Good for both design and hospitality angles. * BnA Hotel Koenji (Tokyo): Artists designed the rooms, so guests feel like they're living in art. It really gets Tokyo's creative vibe. * Gora Kadan (Hakone): It used to be a retreat for the imperial family and is now a fancy inn with amazing service and Hakone mountain views. * Shiroiya Hotel (Maebashi): A renovated modern hotel that has art and rooms made by artists like Sou Fujimoto. * Hotel R9 The Yard (Various locations): Small, fancy rooms in shipping containers. They look surprisingly nice and are very different. Also, tell people you're looking for great places in less famous areas, near nature or cool cultural spots (like Naoshima, Iya Valley). That way you might find some hidden treasures that have the kind of charm you're looking for. Do you want me to help you write an email to these places?
