About
Kabutocho, home of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, was a quiet office district until the 2020s, when a wave of conversions made it one of Tokyo's coolest small neighbourhoods. K5 led the way. The building was built in 1923 as an annex of Japan's first bank, the Dai-ichi Bank, survived the war and stood empty before developer Heiwa Real Estate commissioned Claesson Koivisto Rune, working with Tokyo firm ADX, to convert it. It reopened in February 2020. The architects kept the facade, the old vault-like proportions and much of the bare concrete, then layered in timber, textiles and plants. The 20 rooms range from compact studios to a roughly 78 m² loft. The ground and basement levels are open to everyone: AKAI BAR for cocktails, Cafe Dance, and B by The Brooklyn Brewery, the New York brewer's first overseas beer hall. Kabutocho's new bakeries, cafes and chocolatiers are all within a few minutes' walk.
