The Three Concepts of our Project Development
A 24-hour tourism city
Anytime
With the 24-hour accessible Kansai International Airport and two of the top entertainment areas in the country, Kita and Minami areas, Osaka acts as the way of the nation that attracts visitors both domestically and internationally.
A travel hub for the Kansai region and western Japan
Anywhere
By taking advantage of its location in the center of Kansai, a treasure trove of tourism resources such as history, culture, and nature, and its well-developed transportation system radiating from Osaka with Kansai International Airport, Osaka will offer theme-based stay-and-go tourism using Osaka as a gateway to bring tourists to Kansai, Setouchi, Hokuriku, Chubu, and other parts of Japan.
A diverse and vibrant destination
Anybody
Known to be where you "eat till you drop," Osaka takes advantage of and promotes its wide-ranged food culture, in addition to its abundant tourism resources including history, culture/entertainment, sports, and wellness. We aim to make Osaka a destination that everyone, regardless of sexual identity, age, or disability, can enjoy.
