SHIBARI×LOVE HOTEL
-Japan beyond the guidebooks-

A Special Night to Experience the Depths of Japanese Culture

Beyond the famous Mt. Fuji, temples of Kyoto and the neon of Shibuya lies a more intimate Japan, one that whispers through love hotels and the art of Shibari.

This one-of-a-kind experience invites you to delve into the aesthetics and cultural roots of Shibari/Kinbaku (Japanese rope bondage), alongside the often-overlooked world of love hotels, which have quietly influenced Japan’s urban and romantic culture. Participants will also have the rare opportunity to witness and engage with Shibari art firsthand.

The experience takes place at the historic love hotel “Alpha In”, a vintage space that rarely opens its doors to the public. Within its richly aged architecture and atmospheric décor, a professional rope artist will guide you through a live demonstration, offering insight into Shibari’s history, symbolism, and the broader cultural context of love hotels in Japan.

Step away from the expected and into Tokyo’s underground elegance, where art, intimacy, and storytelling are beautifully entwined.
