A Green Oasis Deep in Shibuya! Trunk Hotel Infinity Pool Creates a New Social Experience Amid the Urban Forest

Tucked away in a quiet alley behind Shibuya’s bustling streets, the Trunk Hotel, embraced by the shadows of trees, is truly a green sanctuary for city dwellers! With 25 spacious rooms starting at 45 square meters and an infinity pool framing the greenery of Yoyogi Park like a painting, I experienced a “floating moment above the treetops” right in the heart of Tokyo.

🌳 When the Infinity Pool Meets the Urban Forest, Every Frame Looks Like a Movie Scene
The pool is suspended on the building’s rooftop, with glass railings that erase spatial boundaries. The treetops of Yoyogi Park and the skyline overlap on the water’s surface. In the morning, soaking in the pool while sunlight filters through the leaves onto the water is magical; in the evening, you’re surrounded by golden-red sunset hues. Any casual side shot comes with a natural forest filter. The biggest surprise is the “social bar” by the pool, where holding a signature cocktail and chatting with fellow travelers reveals a mix of fascinating souls like designers and curators among the guests.

🏨 The Delightful Details of the 45-Square-Meter “Mobile Home”
- The rooms feature concrete walls paired with natural wood furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows framing the street view like a dynamic painting, and a natural stone bathtub in the bathroom that makes you want to linger all afternoon.
- Hidden Easter eggs: The minibar offers local craft beers for free, and the room key is a reusable designer metal tag.
- Social spirit: The first-floor common area often hosts pop-up exhibitions, and during breakfast, you can share a table and chat about travel plans with neighbors.

Insider Tips from Locals: The poolside often has live DJ sets on weekends, so it’s best to visit midweek for a peaceful experience. It’s just a 10-minute walk from Shibuya Station but feels like stepping into another quiet dimension. Next time you come to Tokyo, be sure to soak away your urban fatigue in this “forest infinity pool” and maybe even make a few international friends!
