Osaka Integrated Resort—set to open in 2030—represents one of the most exciting blue-ocean opportunities in the global leisure and gaming landscape, featuring Japan’s first-ever casino.
The Osaka Bay Evolution: Strategic Developments Shaping the Next Decade
The opening of Japan’s first integrated resort (IR) in Osaka, scheduled for autumn 2030, marks more than just a grand launch — it signifies a pivotal transformation in the nation’s tourism and economic landscape.
As the gateway to this emerging blue ocean market, the Asia and Pacific Trade Center (ATC) stands ready to support international businesses seeking entry into the Japanese
market. Established in 1994, ATC has long served as a trusted launchpad for enterprises aiming to establish and grow their presence in the Kansai region.
With a wide range of commercial facilities, office spaces, and event venues, ATC provides a dynamic environment tailored to the needs of entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators from around the world.
The Osaka Integrated Resort (IR) spans approximately 49.2 hectares (492,000sqm /≈121.6 acres)—comparable in size to Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore. Adjacent to it, the Yumeshima Phase 2 redevelopment area covers 50 hectares (500,000sqm/≈123.5 acres), bringing the total development zone to about 100 hectares (1,000,000sqm/≈247 acres).
Together, these two giga-projects will redefine Yumeshima as a global hub for tourism, business, and innovation.To support this transformation, ATC provides essential infrastructure for those driving the projects forward—including F&B options, cafés, ATMs, green sea-view parks, and offices that integrate nature and productivity.
As Osaka’s 77-hectare (770,000sqm) Integrated Resort moves into full-scale development, ATC provides flexible, high-spec office space for the diverse range of companies essential to this giga-project. Ideally located adjacent to the Yumeshima construction zone, ATC offers a seamless base for collaboration across planning, design, engineering, and operations.
The facility is designed to accommodate everything from general contractors, architecture and design studios, and *MEP engineers, to specialists in hospitality interiors, façade systems, themed entertainment, and digital construction such as BIM. It also supports project managers, energy consultants, and sustainability experts—creating a fully integrated environment for global players shaping the future of Osaka’s tourism and entertainment economy. (*MEP engineers design and manage mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in buildings to ensure safety, efficiency, and comfort.)
With scale, connectivity, and amenities built for productivity, ATC is the natural command center for Osaka IR’s international development ecosystem.
With an initial investment of ¥1.27 trillion (About $8.6 billion), Osaka’s upcoming integrated resort ranks among the most significant single-site developments in Asia. Encompassing gaming, hospitality, MICE, retail, cultural, and infrastructure components, this project signals a bold commitment to transforming Osaka’s bay area into a world-class destination for tourism and business.
Over the next five years, ATC will serve as a vital business platform for the professionals and organisations driving this transformation. Located just minutes from the development site via direct undersea tunnel and metro line, ATC offers immediate proximity, ready-to-use office infrastructure, wellness-integrated amenities, sea-view workspaces, and seamless transit access.
As non-gaming zones and adjacent urban districts enter development, ATC will remain a key anchor for cross-border collaboration, international business services, and sustainable urban innovation. Positioned at the gateway of Osaka’s evolving skyline, ATC empowers the people behind the city’s next global leap.
With the Osaka IR projected to attract 20 million annual visitors—14 million domestic and 6 million international—this is more than a tourism initiative. It’s a catalyst for urban regeneration, economic revitalisation, and infrastructure expansion.
Just as large-scale integrated resorts have redefined cityscapes in Macau and Singapore, Osaka’s bay area, including Yumeshima, stands on the verge of evolving into a globally recognised destination for business, culture, and leisure.
Rather than simply offering office amenities, ATC functions as an operational backbone—a staging ground for the global teams, vendors, and innovators driving Osaka IR’s success. Its location near Yumeshima provides not only convenience, but also critical proximity for decision-making, collaboration, and project oversight. For government relations, partner engagement, and onsite preparation, ATC bridges the logistical and strategic needs of IR development. This makes it not just a workplace, but a mission-critical hub for shaping Osaka’s next-generation tourism economy.
Osaka’s upcoming Integrated Resort (IR), projected to generate ¥520 billion (About $3.5 billion) annually, will rely on a broad ecosystem of professionals—from hospitality teams and MICE operators to entertainment producers, revenue analysts, and facility management firms.
Just minutes from Yumeshima by car or train, ATC offers the ideal environment for these experts and companies to thrive. With sea-view offices, wellness-focused amenities, cafés, and excellent transport access, ATC provides a productive, people-first workplace.
Whether you’re building hotels, managing guest experience, or coordinating large-scale operations, ATC supports your mission—by offering the space, flexibility, and calm needed to power Osaka’s IR transformation.
ATC is more than a location. It’s where vision becomes infrastructure.
