OSAKA — Hotels in Osaka are more affordable than in Tokyo, in part because there are fewer international names in western Japan’s biggest city. But with the upcoming Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, and the planned opening of a casino resort, room rates are likely to climb as more overseas guests visit the region.
According to STR, a subsidiary of U.S.-based CoStar Group, a real estate data analysis company, the dollar-denominated average daily rate (ADR) for hotels in Osaka prefecture in 2024 was $128, just 0.4% higher than the prepandemic year of 2019.
