Marriott has opened two new Moxy Hotels in Japan this month: Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho and Moxy Osaka Honmachi.
Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho sits close to popular attractions and embodies the brand’s signature industrial‑chic design. The hotel offers 205 guestrooms and a lively, social atmosphere aimed at travelers who want to explore the city, sample local food and immerse themselves in the neighborhood whether they stay for a night or a week.
“Today’s consumer is less desirous of a cookie cutter experience and, in fact, wants to discover something new, take in the city, the food, the local scene, whether he/she is there for a day or a week,” said Hisashi Oinuma, captain, Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho.
Moxy Osaka Honmachi provides convenient access to transport links, dining, nightlife and shopping, and features 155 guestrooms. The property targets modern travelers who value affordability, playful design and a hotel that adapts to their needs.
“Moxy is specifically designed for this new generation of travelers — we call them Fun Hunters — who are looking for a hotel environment that allows them to have an experience on their terms,” said Shigeki Nakagawa, captain, Moxy Osaka Honmachi. “They want a hotel that is wired to their specific needs, a place to stay that is affordable, fun and awesome.”
Both hotels include the signature Moxy amenities: keyless entry, mobile check‑in, welcome cocktails, expansive social spaces with game tables and elevators that double as selfie booths. The hotels plan a range of social events in coming months, such as jam sessions, tarot readings, film screenings and beer pong competitions. Guestrooms offer complimentary Wi‑Fi, walk‑in rain showers and streamlined workstations designed for productivity and minimal clutter.
A unique feature at the Asian Moxy properties is the “pimp your noodles” concept, where guests can choose from a variety of instant noodles and customize them at a condiment station for a quick, playful meal.
“We threw out the rule book for conventional hotel models to create Moxy’s Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho and Moxy Osaka Honmachi,” said Mike Fulkerson, vice president, brand and marketing, Marriott International. “These two new brand additions will continue to show the world what ‘moxie’ really means and encourage our guests to play on.”
