BnA STUDIO Akihabara

Top choice in Kōrakuen & Akihabara


Five different artists and artist groups have brought their creative visions to the studio apartments here. Designs are influenced by colourful street art and local culture – we love the minimalist Zen Garden from which you can gaze on a kare-sansui (dry landscape) on the balcony. All the rooms all spacious, with enormous bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens and washing machines.
