Book Donation
You can donate your special book to the hotel. Donors are asked to fill out a donation card with their profile, along with "what they want someone to feel when they read it" and "what they want to convey." When you donate, you will receive a "TIMEZ ESPRESSO BAR &" drink ticket (for guests staying at the hotel) or a "day use" discount ticket (for non-guests). Donated books will be placed in your guest room or lounge, and will serve as a way to connect you with the next person. If you wish, your book will be published online along with your contact information.
People and Books
Donated books will be published and stored on this page along with the donor's thoughts and messages. Through a book, you can meet people who share the same thoughts and who want to hear from you, creating a place where you can "meet people through books." Even with the same book, each person's impressions and thoughts will be different. Please enjoy this archive, which allows you to virtually experience someone's thoughts and personality.
*Contact information is available to donors who wish to do so. Please use it for advertising and communication purposes.
Book Mansion for storing books
We will store your important books at the hotel. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a secret diary that you can't keep at home, or a book that serves as a message to your future self. We can also store books that you would like to give to someone as a gift, and give them a surprise gift along with a message.

Book Events
The BUNSHODO HOTEL lounge will regularly hold reading groups, second-hand book fairs, and social gatherings for independent bookstores, with the theme of "spending time with books." A wide variety of events are planned, including time to read after work, meeting new people, and engaging in creative activities through books.
