book and bed hostel, tokyo (3)Book and Bed Tokyo (or “the accommodation bookshop”) is an innovative hostel that aims to bring book-loving travelers together. It is the result of a metamorphosis from a traditional izakaya pub (a type of informal Japanese eat&drink establishment) into a literary crib.

As the owners say, the concept has nothing to do with regular accommodation. It is not a place for those who seek comfortable mattresses or silky pillows. The experience you are about to get here is the mere pleasure of reading until you fall asleep.

Opened recently, Book and Bed is expected to become one of Tokyo’s nests for literature enthusiasts. Especially when you think that all rooms are booked in advance for the following month.

In the nearby future, the hostel plans to expand its collection to 3,000 books. The ones who are interested in discovering Japanese literature will have a chance to literally embrace English translations of fiction, as well a big selection of international novels.

Have a pleasant reading and a good sleep in Tokyo!
