A little thought becomes a seed and bears fruit

A little thought becomes a seed and bears fruit

By chance, I stayed at the hotel I wanted to stay two years ago. At that time, I was interested in how the working style was changing. Zoku is a hotel based on the cutting-edge idea of sharing working spaces and staying while working. I was surprised when I decided to attend the event in Amsterdam. Because the venue was near Zoku.

The common space is spacious and comfortable. 
I enjoyed mint fresh herbal tea and cake.

There was a large table set in the common space.
There is also a seminar space.





The front desk is on the 6th floor.
The sky is wide open and the plants welcome the guests.



The four alphabets at the entrance, ZOKU, are unique.

There is also a veranda to go outside.
If it's warm, it's perfect for a drinking party.

The entrance is on the zero floor.
I couldn't remember which floor the entrance was on,
so I asked for help.



I stayed in room 401 on the stairs.

It's at the end of the stairs.

Look, this is 401. I was happy when I found it. There





It is a type called Bootstrap.
Although it is 12m², it can accommodate up to 2 people.
I liked that there were no unnecessary things like a TV.

Climb the roll curtain rail onto this desk and pull it.
A really well thought out design.

The whole wall is a mirror,
so it gives an illusion that it is wide.


Awareness that the laws of the universe work

By staying at the hotel I was interested in, I realized that the important laws of the universe are functioning. What I thought two years ago stuck with me and influenced my future. This is not a coincidence, it is inevitable. And, as if to prove the trend of the times, the universe took me to a new style hotel. Even if it was just a small choice, it made me make a choice. Everything makes sense.

A small coffee stand like a jewel in Tokyo, Ichigaya

A small coffee stand that only seats 5 people

I went to a small coffee stand in Ichigaya, Tokyo, Bun Coffee, which had been on my mind for a long time. The inside of the store is large enough for five people to sit. When I casually ordered a flat white, I was surprised at how delicious it was. Just a cup of coffee can impress people so much!

the best cup of coffee makes me happy
I also had a lamington with coconut.
When I told my daughter and I to eat together,
the staff cut it in half.


Small but cozy coffee stand
Handwritten signboard full of information

Organic coffee from Australia

This coffee stand "BUN COFFEE" sells organic coffee from Australia. I am particular about roasting. "BUN COFFEE" was launched by David Kennedy in 2005. At a roasting house in Byron Bay, Australia, he himself selected beans from all over the world and completed 6 special blends by roasting methods that match each bean.

This coffee gave me new pleasures in life. Even if you're not adventurous enough to take a trip, a coffee stand with a nice atmosphere is very useful for a little break.



There are two special seats with a view of the street.
The other three seats are in the back of the store.


Plants hang from the ceiling,
and the sun is shining just right,
so it's pleasant just to look at them.
