MUJI is planning to open its first MUJI HOTEL GINZA in Japan and its global flagship store, MUJI GINZA, which will also house the restaurant MUJI Diner, on April 4, 2019.


Of the three basic necessities of life that MUJI handles—food, clothing, and shelter—food is the most fundamental and indispensable part of our daily lives. However, for urban dwellers, the fields, farms, and fishing grounds where food is produced have become distant, and food has become something to be consumed simply as a commodity. By expanding its food-related products and services even further, the MUJI GINZA global flagship store aims to encourage people to think about producers and the places where food is produced, and to reconsider the relationship between food and people.

The first floor will feature a counter selling produce delivered directly from the source through connections with farmers near Tokyo, as well as juices and desserts made with fresh fruit, which can be enjoyed on the spot. Plans are also underway to introduce a tea by weight service that allows customers to combine tea leaves such as green tea and rooibos with spices and fruits of their choice. Also, a restaurant themed around "simple food," "MUJI Diner," will be located on the basement floor. It will offer a salad counter and a la carte dishes using seasonal seafood, meat dishes, and game, providing a relaxing space for individuals, families, and groups of friends to dine on their own.


Based on the concept of "anti-gorgeous, anti-cheap," MUJI HOTEL offers a good night's sleep at just the right price, a space to revitalize body and mind while traveling, and services that connect guests with the local area. "MUJI HOTEL GINZA," which will open simultaneously on the upper floors of the global flagship store, is the third location after Shenzhen and Beijing in China. The reception will be located on the sixth floor, and 79 guest rooms will be available on the seventh to tenth floors.

On the sixth floor, the same floor as the hotel reception, "ATELIER MUJI GINZA" will be located, a hub for disseminating a diverse range of design culture. The store will feature two "Galleries" that will host exhibitions on a variety of themes related to craftsmanship and design; a "Salon" where people can gather and chat over delicious coffee and alcohol; a "Library" with a selection of design and art-related books; and a "Lounge" where talk events and workshops will be held. Each section will convey MUJI's vision for the future.

The current global flagship store, MUJI Yurakucho, will close on December 2nd. A pop-up store will be open for approximately three months from December 12th on the first floor of Marronnier Gate Ginza 2, located between the store and the new global flagship store, MUJI Ginza. In addition to selling core lifestyle items representing MUJI's approximately 7,000 items, the pop-up store will also introduce new services being launched at MUJI Ginza. Further details on the products and other details will be announced on the MUJI website and through the MUJI Passport app.
