RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka (1,042) - Tradition & Innovation on the Water

Sixty function spaces (up to 2,000 pax) link by corridor to Osaka International Convention Center, enabling exhibitions, poster sessions and banquets to run side-by-side. A fleet of bilingual planners, on-site AV warehouse, and 1,000+ keys make the property the de-facto HQ for medical congresses. Tea ceremony, ikebana and guided Nakanoshima river cruises are bookable through the hotel’s cultural desk.

Art-Deco chandeliers glitter above lacquered screens while windows frame Osaka’s waterways. Between sessions attendees step onto the Noh stage for mask-fitting photos, then drift past illuminated bridges on an evening cruise to Dōtonbori. The hotel’s “water-metropolis” narrative turns a business trip into a floating cultural vignette.
