About "KAIKA Tokyo by THE SHARE HOTELS
KAIKA Tokyo by THE SHARE HOTELS (hereinafter "KAIKA Tokyo") is a renovated 55-year-old (built in 1966) warehouse building with an art storage facility for contemporary art. A total of 8 sections of space on the first floor and basement floor are available for use by art galleries as a "showcase storage facility" to give guests a sense of the contemporary art scene in Japan and provide a special spatial experience. The works in the art storage will be constantly changing in tandem with the activities of the art galleries, creating a space of surprises and new discoveries.
The art storage is located in the bar lounge (46 seats in total), which is open to non-residents, and in the lounges for guests on the basement floor with 4.5-meter high ceilings. In the spacious common space, guests can spend their time enjoying drinks and planning their journeys while feeling the "behind-the-scenes" of art, which they are not usually able to catch a glimpse of. The facility will also have a sales corner for artists' works, a special exhibition space, and events related to art. We will connect guests with art from a variety of angles.
