This is a project to create a Book Tree (Christmas tree) by collecting books that you no longer read. Hotel staff will create a Book Tree (Christmas tree) from the books you bring or send to us, and will be on displayed in the Library Lounge until New Year’s. After New Year’s, the books will be donated with the cooperation of Room to Read Japan.
Our library hotel is a space surrounded by books, providing an environment where book lovers can relax and unwind. For these book lovers, we have prepared a participatory project that allows you to contribute to society through books.
With your help, the total number of books donated to the project was approximately 2,200 in 2024. Thank you very much for your participation in our Book Baton Project.
The call for books for 2024 is now closed. Thank you for your cooperation.
