CLASKA

Claska is no cookie-cutter hotel. Each of its 20 rooms are the brainchild of a different architect (or designer). Themes range from ‘modern’ (clean-lines, airy spaces, Japanesestyle furniture) to ‘tatami’ (a pared-back, modern take on classic ryokan decor) and ‘story’ (inspired by Japanese novels and concepts). Located in the hip, southwestern hood of Nakameguro, this hotel is a little farflung, but it’s a destination in itself: you’ll also find several galleries, a rooftop terrace hosting summer film screenings, a shop selling lifestyle products, and Kiokuh, which serves French-inspired fare like roasted wagyu with potato puree. And for forays into the city, there’s a fleet of tokyobike bicycles.

ROOMS: From ¥13,000 (£90), room only.
