A Tour of ATC: The "Business Resort" Concept Explained for Foreign Companies

Looking for office space in Osaka that feels less like a cubicle and more like a productive retreat? The Asia Pacific Trade Center (ATC) in Osaka Bay has pioneered what it calls the "Business Resort" model—a mixed-use campus where professional workspace meets waterfront amenities, on-site dining, event facilities, and wellness infrastructure.

What Is a "Business Resort" Office?

A Business Resort office blends professional workspace with resort-style amenities—bay views, dining clusters, rooftop gardens, event halls, and wellness spaces—designed to enhance productivity and employee satisfaction without leaving the campus.

The term emerged globally as employers sought to reverse post-pandemic office avoidance. Rather than forcing workers back to sterile towers, companies began creating "work resorts"—offices designed like boutique hotels with hospitality-grade design. Bloomberg reported that these spaces lure people back by offering an experience, not just a desk.

The Dual-Core Productivity Model

1. MICE Operations

Exhibitions and conferences drive massive visibility and high-level foot traffic.

2. Commercial Core

Offices and showrooms provide a stable, professional environment for long-term growth.

This synergy means office tenants inherit benefits designed for event visitors: 1,200 covered parking spaces, diverse dining, and professional event infrastructure—all maintained to hospitality standards.

The Office Core: Built for International Teams

ATC offers office suites ranging from 67㎡ (compact project teams) to 567㎡ (regional headquarters). Every unit features floor-to-ceiling windows and glass-walled "showroom" designs that turn your operations into passive marketing for the hundreds of thousands of annual visitors.

The "Showroom Office" Advantage

The ITM Building's glass-walled corridors effectively turn your workspace into passive marketing. As hundreds of thousands of annual visitors flow past to attend ATC Hall events, your operations gain massive brand exposure without additional billboard costs.

💡 The "Yohaku" & Blue Mind Factor

"Yohaku" (Margin/Space) is the psychological breathing room our waterfront provides. Research on the "Blue Mind" effect shows that proximity to water triggers calming neurological responses, reducing stress and boosting focus compared to central Osaka's dense corridors.
