The "tokyo" brackets were designed by Kengo Kuma, one of Japan's leading architects, and will be used to design the main venue for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Kuma, who also worked on the architectural design of Tokyu Capitol Tower, elevated the spirit of Japanese architecture in the old hotel. The "tokyo" brackets in the main lobby on the third floor are particularly distinctive, and are designed with the motif of the timber frame structure that supports the roofs of traditional Japanese temples and shrines. They are intended to warmly welcome guests, without giving the building an intimidating high-rise feel, and to blend in with the adjacent Hie Shrine forest.
