"GRAPHY FLOWER MARKET" 2nd Anniversary Event Celebrates Spring with Flowers as the Connecting Thread

HOTEL GRAPHY Shibuya celebrates its 2nd anniversary on March 1st, 2026. To commemorate this milestone, we're hosting a special event themed around "flowers" to welcome the arrival of spring—"GRAPHY FLOWER MARKET."

Since opening, the hotel has hosted events not only for guests but also for local residents, and has promoted area management initiatives in collaboration with Tokyu Corporation at "Shibuya Bridge." Through numerous events, we've deepened connections with people gathering at the hotel and Shibuya Bridge. For this significant 2nd anniversary, we've prepared diverse content across both locations to welcome everyone.

At Shibuya Bridge Building A corridor, one of the event venues, we'll host a market featuring vendors from around Tokyo, alongside participatory live painting by internationally renowned artist Ayumi Takahashi, and live storytelling performances featuring popular children's books. Inside the hotel, visitors can enjoy candle-making workshops and event-exclusive restaurant menus.

This event embodies the "social graph" concept behind the hotel's name, valuing human connections above all else. We aim to create a space for new encounters and interactions—not only for our regular guests but also for local residents and first-time visitors.

Come celebrate the arrival of spring with family and friends—everyone is welcome!
