KASOKU's Exciting New Hotel Brand: KOUSA

KASOKU, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has announced the launch of its new apartment hotel brand, KOUSA. The flagship hotel, KOUSA Osaka Namba, is set to open its doors in October 2026, bringing a new way for travelers to experience the vibrant culture and community of Osaka.

The vision behind KOUSA is to create a space where people, culture, and urban life intersect.

Located in the heart of Osaka's Namba and Nipponbashi districts, KOUSA Osaka Namba will be a prime destination for domestic and international guests.
