MUJI HOTEL GINZA Welcomes Guests with Unique Sweets

Beginning January 1, 2026, MUJI HOTEL GINZA will elevate the guest experience by offering a special welcome treat crafted by expert buyers from Matsuya Ginza. This initiative aims to connect guests with the vibrant culture of Ginza and showcase the hotel’s hospitality from the moment of check-in.

Ginza, a renowned shopping district in Tokyo, is made up of several commercial zones, each fostering a strong spirit of cooperation and community among local businesses. Matsuya Ginza, having recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, is a historic department store situated just steps from MUJI HOTEL. For visitors, it serves as a prime destination for shopping, offering everything from traditional Japanese sweets to the latest desserts. The buyers from Matsuya Ginza are recognized as experts in hand-selected gifts, and their experience is invaluable to the hotel.

In line with the hotel's aim of providing snacks that evoke a sense of familiarity for international guests, the chosen welcome sweet is “Ginza Honey Witch,” a limited edition treat from Kurayoshi, a master confectioner based in Akita Prefecture’s historic Kakunodate district. This unique sweet features a tart shell filled with honey cream made from Ginza's special honey, combined with lemon jelly for a refreshing taste.

The Ginza Honey itself is part of the Ginza Bee Project, where community volunteers keep bees and harvest honey on the rooftops of local buildings. This honey comes from various blossoms in the area, making each harvest distinct in flavor, offering guests a true taste of Ginza’s floral richness.

Insight from Matsuya Ginza Buyer

According to buyer Mr. Tsuchida, over 90% of MUJI HOTEL’s guests are international travelers. Understanding this, he aimed to provide something with a local twist that embodies the essence of Ginza. With Ginza Honey Witch, guests can indulge in a treat that's rich in local heritage. Matsuya Ginza has also contributed to sustainability efforts through greenery projects like their rooftop gardens, further enriching the connection between the hotel and the community.
