The charm of Akihabara, expressed through sound, art, and food, which we do not know. Come to Noga Hotel and enjoy the luxury of not being overprivileged.

. to enjoy a hearty steak or to quietly gaze at the twilight sea alone.

Luxury" is a value that exists in more ways than one, and staying at a hotel in a nearby city is one such luxury.

The NOHGA Hotel Akihabara Tokyo (NOHGA HOTEL AKIHABARA TOKYO), which just opened this fall, was a catalyst for such thinking.

The hotel is composed of three themes of sound, art, and food, including high-quality sound equipment, artwork by up-and-coming artists decorating the building, and cuisine using seasonal Japanese ingredients, allowing guests to fully experience the diversity and curiosity of Akihabara, where various cultures intersect.

Akihabara is often associated with "subculture," but this place is different in more ways than one.

Deluxe twin rooms are equipped with high-end audio equipment carefully selected for each room.

First, the sound. Spotlighting the aspects of the city that have shaped its audio culture, the hotel will be equipped with high quality audio equipment throughout the hotel. Not only will background music selected to match the hotel concept be played, but they are also planning to hold music events and workshops.

In terms of art, the museum has a permanent collection of contemporary works that attempt to reinterpret the historic Akihabara district, and disseminates them through special exhibitions. The curators are Teruo Kurosaki, founder of IDÉE, BLACK LAB, a curatorial team led by Tomofumi Oya, and 3331 Arts Chiyoda, an art center created in the former Rensei Junior High School building.

In the hotel's restaurant, menus featuring seasonal, homegrown ingredients are served on glasses and tableware collaborated with stores in the surrounding area.

PIZZERIA & BAR NOHGA, an all-day dining restaurant with a "Spanish-Italian" theme, offers a menu featuring seasonal Japanese ingredients.

When I visited, breakfast was served with a wide variety of egg dishes including eggs benedict and omelets, and focaccia baked in an Italian wood-fired oven , and dinner was a special experience with a wide variety of tapas and carefully selected wines that go beyond the boundaries of a pizzeria.

For lunch, they offer authentic pizza, pasta, salads, and even a choice of weekly entrees and specials that represent the four seasons.

And the rooms had a simple but warm interior design that made them relaxing and comfortable, and all rooms were equipped with speakers so that music could be enjoyed at will, even in the living room.

The Noga Hotel, which offers a peek into a new side of Akihabara, including sound, art, and food, is recommended for people from far and near.

. Isn't it the best luxury to forget the hustle and bustle of the city and spend a slow time alone?
