Focus Kuramae is a hostel and coliving spacein a converted camera parts factory in Kuramae, Tokyo. Opened in October 2018, it sits in the heart of what locals call "Tokyo's Brooklyn". A neighbourhood of independent coffee shops, craft boutiques, and old workshops that has become a hub for creatives and design-focused travellers. The building retains its industrial character.
