Why you should experience Remm Plus Ginza in Tokyo, Japan.
Remm Plus Ginza is a precision-minded design hotel where Ginza's commercial refinement, Shimbashi's transportation energy, Hankyu Hanshin's railway heritage and contemporary Japanese hospitality converge at the southern end of the district.
Set along Ginza Corridor Street near Sotobori-dori and just steps from Ginza Six, the hotel occupies a 16-storey, 8,400-square-meter building completed in December 2019 on a 638.55-square-meter site between Ginza and Shimbashi. Hankyu Hanshin Hotels positioned the 238-room property within walking distance of both Shimbashi Station and Ginza Station, embedding it between the railway intensity of the former and the retail culture of the latter. The opening followed remm Tokyo Kyobashi earlier in 2019, deepening the brand's presence across Central Tokyo as Hankyu Hanshin Holdings expanded a hotel business historically intertwined with private railway development. The result connects Hankyu Hanshin Holdings, Hankyu Hanshin Hotels, remm Tokyo Kyobashi and Ginza's southern commercial geography through a property that brought a new expression of the remm brand into one of Tokyo's most competitive hotel districts.
What you should know about Remm Plus Ginza.
Remm Plus Ginza is best known for opening on December 24, 2019 as the first remm+ property, creating a new branch of Hankyu Hanshin Hotels' remm concept twelve years after the original remm Hibiya and remm Akihabara established the brand in Tokyo. The institutional lineage reaches further back through Hankyu founder Ichizo Kobayashi, whose private-railway business model connected transportation with housing, retail and entertainment and ultimately produced the corporate ecosystem from which Hankyu's hotel operations developed. remm itself emerged from that broader history with a tightly defined concept around sleep, before the 2019 Ginza opening expanded the formula by eliminating single rooms, making doubles the principal room category and creating more spacious accommodation than the original format. Ichizo Kobayashi, Hankyu, Hankyu Hanshin Hotels and remm+ form a railway-to-hospitality-to-brand progression in which a company historically skilled at building experiences around transportation corridors created a specialized hotel concept for contemporary urban travelers.
The remm lineage began in 2007 with remm Hibiya and remm Akihabara before remm Kagoshima followed in 2011, remm Shin-Osaka in 2012, remm Roppongi in 2017 and remm Tokyo Kyobashi in April 2019, giving the Ginza debut an established network from which to diverge. MICHELIN Guide recognition strengthened that earlier character when remm Shin-Osaka received one pavilion in the hotel category for four consecutive years beginning in 2014, supplying external validation before Hankyu Hanshin developed the plus format. remm plus Ginza then became the prototype for a second generation that reached Kobe in 2021 through remm plus Kobe Sannomiya, housed inside the rebuilt Kobe Sannomiya Hankyu Building and directly connected with Hankyu Kobe Sannomiya Station. remm Hibiya, remm Akihabara, remm Shin-Osaka, remm plus Ginza and remm plus Kobe Sannomiya consequently trace a coherent evolution from a Tokyo-born sleep concept through national expansion and MICHELIN recognition into a distinct plus format that ultimately returned the brand to Hankyu's railway architecture in Kobe.
How to fold Remm Plus Ginza into your trip.
Remm Plus Ginza works as the anchor for an afternoon tracing how corporate patronage, theatrical entrepreneurship and modern advertising culture shaped Ginza's creative identity.
Begin at Shiseido Gallery, where Arinobu Fukuhara established Japan's first Western-style pharmacy in Ginza in 1872 before his son Shinzo Fukuhara developed Shiseido's relationship with photography, aesthetics and artistic patronage and established the gallery in 1919. Continue to Kabukiza Theatre, where journalist and playwright Fukuchi Genichiro joined financier Chiba Katsugoro to open the original theater in 1889 before Shochiku assumed management in 1914 and successive reconstructions culminated in the fifth Kabukiza designed through a collaboration involving Kengo Kuma and Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei. Conclude at Ad Museum Tokyo, created by the Yoshida Hideo Memorial Foundation and opened in 2002 with support from Dentsu, preserving an advertising history connected with former Dentsu president Hideo Yoshida and the development of Japan's postwar communications industry. The progression moves from Arinobu and Shinzo Fukuhara's artistic patronage through Fukuchi, Chiba and Shochiku's theatrical culture into Hideo Yoshida and Dentsu's advertising institution, revealing the commercial creativity surrounding Remm Plus Ginza.
