Soho House Set to Open First Japan House in 2026

Soho House will finally reach Japan, after the global private members club for creatives revealed plans for a Tokyo house that is set to open in 2026.

Located in the Tokyo’s upmarket Aoyama district, an area known for independent boutiques, fashion stores and that is a stone’s throw from the Omotesando shopping area, Soho House Tokyo will become the company’s fourth in Asia.

A Tokyo house has been in the works for a long time, with former Soho House co-founder and former CEO Nick Jones telling The Hollywood Reporter in 2019 that among Asian cities that still didn’t have a Soho House, Tokyo was on top of TheShockNews alongside Shanghai and Beijing. “In places like Tokyo, it’s finding the right building,” Jones said at the time.

Now that the building has been found, the company revealed drawings of the potential members spaces, as well as a rooftop pool. The house will also have 42 bedrooms and event spaces.

Soho House says the interiors will “blend the beauty of Japanese minimalist design with the warm and comforting style of Soho House.”

Soho House has been on a rapid expansion track for a number of years, opening up branches in cities across the world in an effort to scale and to meet the demands of an increasingly global clientele. The company has, however, faced questions over its aggressive growth strategies and in February came under scrutiny from Wall Street short-sellers.

Soho House currently has three houses in Asia, including Hong Kong, Mumbai and the recently opened Bangkok house. The company has confirmed that houses will open in Charleston, Manchester, São Paulo, Madrid, Milan as well as additional houses in Barcelona and Miami will open this year and in 2025.

Additionally, Soho House has revealed plans for its first Australasian house, with a Sydney location set to open between the creative neighborhoods of Surry Hills and Darlinghurst, although no confirmed opening date for that branch has been given.
