Accessing Western Japan's largest MICE hub just became even easier!

Western Japan's largest MICE hub meets enhanced accessibility!

The Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay, Quintessa Hotel The Collection Osaka Bay, and Hotel Fukurasia Osaka Bay, which boast a combined total of 1,006 guest rooms, will work together to support one of the largest meetings and events centers in Western Japan. Starting August 1, 2026, the collaboration will begin operating a shuttle bus service directly connecting Shin-Osaka Station and Osaka Bay Area. The area is notably home to Intex Osaka and ATC Hall, two of the largest exhibition venues in Western Japan, which host large-scale exhibitions, events, and both international and domestic conferences year-round.

Better Infrastructure for Improved Customer Experience and International Competitiveness

The shuttle bus will enable direct access from Shin-Osaka Station to Osaka Bay Area in approximately 50 minutes, significantly improving the convenience of travel for those attending exhibitions and international conferences in the area. This initiative aims to strengthen the overall reception capacity of Osaka Bay and improve its international competitiveness, in preparation of the expected increase in meetings, events, and conferences coinciding with the opening of the Osaka Integrated Resort.

Shuttle Bus Operation Start Date: Sat. August 1, 2026

*Reservations must be made online in advance
