The all-new Four Seasons Hotel Osaka is now accepting reservations ahead of its grand opening on 1 August 2024.
Towering above the city’s dynamic Dojima district, Four Seasons Hotel Osaka will introduce the city’s first modern ryokan experience in a major hotel. Ryokans are small Japanese inns dating back to the 8th century, and still popular today, particularly in regions with onsen (hot springs). The entire 28th floor of Four Seasons will house 21 guest rooms and suites decorated as a contemporary interpretation of ryokan culture, including tatami mat flooring, sliding doors within each space, a platform bed (rather than the traditional roll on the floor), and a dining area that allows for traditional or standard seating.
The Gensui 玄水will also have its own check-in desk, where guests will be personally welcomed with Four Seasons care.

An additional 154 rooms and suites are spread through the 29th to 35th floors (for a total of 175 throughout the Hotel). Most accommodations enjoy the views of the city, rivers and waterways.
The Hotel’s guest accommodations and its public spaces will showcase a contemporary art collection curated by Fumio Nanjo, featuring local artists and artisans.
With six dining and drinking concepts, a full floor dedicated to wellness, sunny event spaces and airy contemporary accommodations – including the region’s first modern ryokan experience – Four Seasons Hotel Osaka will offer a new interpretation of today’s Osaka and an ideal base from which to discover its exciting culinary and cultural adventures.The Hotel is within walking distance of the Umeda shopping, entertainment and business district; adjacent to glamorous Kitashinchi’s fine dining restaurants and bars; and a short walk to Nakanoshima, home to a thriving community of art galleries and museums.
In a city known as one of Asia’s culinary capitals (there are currently 85 Michelin-starred restaurants in Osaka), Four Seasons will present six dining and drinking options. Jiang Nan Chun will offer an authentic Cantonese dining experience in an interactive setting that includes multiple private and semi-private dining rooms.
Four Seasons Hotel Osaka will be the brand’s fourth location in Japan. Shinkansen bullet train service connects Osaka with Kyoto in just 15 minutes, offering the excellent possibility of combining a visit to the newest Four Seasons with time in the ancient capital at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto. Tokyo is accessible in under three hours from Osaka via Shinkansen, and there travellers can choose either Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi, or Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi.
Four Seasons’ Japanese portfolio will also soon be joined by the upcoming Four Seasons Resort and Residences Okinawa.
