Overview

You've filled your house with their minimalist designs and homewares, and dreamed of living in their flat-pack homes and tiny pre-fab huts. MUJI fans, your love affair with the Japanese home goods giant isn't over yet. Next on the retailer's agenda is their own range of hotels, with sites slated for Shenzhen in China and Tokyo in Japan.

Construction on a retail and hotel complex in Tokyo's Ginza began in June, working towards a 2019 completion for the 13-floor building. It'll be comprised of three levels below ground, and ten — including a two-floor penthouse — above. Seven storeys will feature shops, including MUJI's global flagship store, while five will boast their first Japanese hotel. Concept and interior design managed by MUJI-owning company Ryohin Keikaku.

The Tokyo digs will join a previously announced location in Shenzhen, which is reported to include 79 rooms spanning five different types of accommodation. A store and cafe are also planned for the Chinese hotel, as are recycled wooden interiors and spaces filled with plenty of MUJI furniture.

Yes, your travel bucket list just notched up two more entries.
