Showcasing HOTEL GRAPHY Shibuya with Lively Hotels

Lively Hotels partnered with Nakama Digital to highlight the unique charm of HOTEL GRAPHY Shibuya, combining first-hand experiential content, social media storytelling, and newsletter promotion to inspire inbound travellers seeking modern, design-led stays in Tokyo.

Challenge

Lively Hotels wanted to increase international awareness of HOTEL GRAPHY Shibuya, a boutique-style property offering a blend of comfort, creativity, and neighbourhood charm. The goal was to attract English-speaking travellers looking for stylish accommodation with a local Tokyo feel, while showcasing the hotel’s amenities and surrounding area.

Solution

We created a multi-platform promotional campaign for Japan Nakama, positioning HOTEL GRAPHY Shibuya as a must-stay destination for culturally curious visitors.

First-Hand Experience Capture

We stayed overnight at the hotel, documenting every aspect of the guest experience — from the design of the rooms and shared spaces to the on-site dining, breakfast service, and facilities.

Editorial Feature

The visit was transformed into an in-depth editorial for Japan Nakama, detailing the hotel’s offerings, atmosphere, and the benefits of its Shibuya location. This provided readers with both practical travel insight and a personal narrative that reflected the hotel’s identity.

Social Media Reel

A custom Instagram Reel showcased highlights from our stay, including the interior design, food presentation, and local area exploration, aimed at sparking engagement and wanderlust among our followers.

Newsletter & Banner Promotion

The campaign was supported by dedicated newsletter features to our 20,000+ subscriber base, along with banner placements on Japan Nakama to drive clicks to the editorial and the hotel’s booking page.
