Dating back to the 18th century, this building stands as one of this prestigious avenue’s most significant historic structures, though it is normally off-limits to the public. Within this exclusive setting, following the HÔTEL concept, we will provide a spectrum of experimental entertainment, spanning from culinary experiences, fashion, and accommodation to travel, music, and artistic engagements. All will be delivered with a witty touch that embodies the essence of Onitsuka Tiger.
Throughout this duration, visitors can also savor the unique Japanese culinary culture at the ‘YELLOW TIGER CAFÉ’, nestled within the premises of the HÔTEL. Moreover, there will be an exhibition of archival shoes filled with the evolution and challenges of the 75th Anniversary, a special photo exhibition tracing the trajectory of the brand, and an installation inspired by the thoughts of the founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka, on the birth of the brand. In addition to the exterior of the HÔTEL building, every detail of the interior will be decorated in the brand's iconic Tiger Yellow. Through "Hôtel Onitsuka Tiger", we aspire to establish a hub where cultural luminaries from various fields can convene and share ideas with unrestricted creative freedom.
