Business Planning / 2018 / OSAKA

 

Due to the unprecedented number of inbound tourists, various types of lodging facilities have been created one after another in Osaka City, but it cannot be said that there are many hotels that reflect localization. I believe that there should be a hotel that delves into and embodies the uniqueness of the city, precisely because "Namba" is a base for transmitting its own culture, such as Konamon and Manzai. The focus was on “comedy”. About 1,000 students enroll at Yoshimoto Comedy School in Osaka each year, but only a handful of them become popular comedians. There are many people in Minami, Osaka who continue to pursue their dreams while working part-time. In addition, in recent years, the comedy industry has become more concentrated in Tokyo, and the foundation of Osaka, the mecca of comedy, is beginning to shake. Therefore, I thought that if there was a hotel where young comedians lived together and entertained visitors with laughter, it would be easier to nurture the successors of the comedy culture, so I planned a socializing hotel through comedy.
