Against the backdrop of the beautiful night view of Nakanoshima shining on the waterside, MICE operators located in Nakanoshima gathered to discuss how to develop future hospitality and unique Avenues, mainly utilizing the urban landscape of Nakanoshima.
On the cruise tour, we boarded the sightseeing boat "Kirari" operated by Ippommatsu Shipping Co., Ltd. Departing from the front port of Osaka International Convention Center in Dojima River and round trip to Osaka City Central Public Hall. The night view of Dojima River in winter was colorful and very beautiful. The cruise began with the introduction of the companies to which the speakers and speakers belong, and then Mr. Yoshida of Ippommatsu Shipping Co., Ltd. talked about tourist information along the Dojima River and the charm of Nakanoshima at night. On the way, the roof of the cruise was opened, and I was able to enjoy not only sightseeing to enjoy from the interior, but also the elegant atmosphere on the boat at night.


At the talk event, we visited the high floor of Osaka International Convention Center Corp. and talked with the speakers while looking down at the night view of Nakanoshima. When Mr. Hattori of Graf started talking in a soft narrative, episodes including personal experiences and thoughts from the speakers continued. It was also interesting to collaborate on events that take advantage of the strengths of companies and organizations located in Nakanoshima, such as collaboration between two major luxury hotels. Finally, the talk event ended with the conclusion of "Let's take advantage of the city's charms, such as the history and landscape of Nakanoshima, and related organizations and facilities work together to revitalize this area."
