Four Seasons Hotel Osaka
The Osaka property, spanning ten floors of the One Dojima Project,
will have 175 curated accommodations, featuring panoramic views, a
Japanese-style floor with tatami rooms, and an array of dining venues.

after 23 years signifies a heartfelt reunion, and the industry veteran
is eager to infuse the Four Seasons allure into Osaka's burgeoning
market.
