ANA Sky Connect Namba: A Fusion of Travel and Comfort

ANA Facilities, Inc., headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, has partnered with Nankai Electric Railway Co., Ltd. to develop a new entertainment and work complex, ANA Sky Connect Namba, located in the bustling district of Namba, Osaka. This multifaceted building aims to enhance the travel experience for locals and tourists alike, with multiple openings scheduled from April 30, 2025.

Coffee Lovers Rejoice with Tully's Collaboration

The first highlight of the complex is the Tully's Coffee ANA Sky Connect Namba, which will open its doors on April 30, 2025. This is the first collaboration of its kind in Japan, combining ANA's brand identity with Tully's renowned coffee experience. The aesthetic of the café features an ambiance highlighted by ANA's signature blue, creating a unique setting that differs from conventional Tully's locations.
The café will feature 59 seats, mostly designed for two-person groups, alongside individual seating equipped with power outlets for those who wish to work. Following its opening, the café will host ongoing ANA collaboration events to contribute to the lively atmosphere of Namba. Additionally, a special commemorative tenugui (traditional Japanese hand towel) featuring ANA Designs will be released in limited quantities to celebrate the opening.

High-Flying Experiences with 28LEFT TRAVELER’S LOUNGE

On the second floor, set to open in May 2025, visitors can look forward to an immersive flying experience at the 28LEFT TRAVELER’S LOUNGE. This facility boasts a full-motion simulator featuring the Boeing 737 MAX, allowing guests to experience everything from engine start to takeoff and landing. The lounge will also include refreshing amenities like shower rooms and relaxation areas to help passengers unwind in a uniquely designed environment that feels distinctly out of the ordinary.

A Hub for Startups: ANA WORK CABIN

Third and fourth floors of ANA Sky Connect Namba will host the ANA WORK CABIN, a co-working space aimed at fostering startups with a vision to soar globally. This innovative workspace, which will also open in May 2025, is inspired by airport themes, featuring a stylish lounge area on the third floor and a runway-inspired design on the fourth. It will cater to small teams, offering private offices suitable for 2-5 people, starting from 85,000 yen (excluding tax) per month. Additionally, flexible meeting rooms will be available for residents to use on an hourly basis, encouraging collaboration and networking among members of the community.

Location and Accessibility

Located just 1 minute from Nankai Main Line's Namba Station and 6 minutes from Midosuji Line's Namba Station, the newly constructed ANA Sky Connect Namba is positioned for easy access. The building is situated at 15-18 Namba Sennichimae, Chuo-ku, Osaka, providing a convenient hub for all travelers.

Conclusion

This ambitious project not only enhances the local shopping and travel experience but also introduces a novel blend of leisure and working environments in Osaka. As the grand opening approaches, ANA Facilities and Nankai Electric Railway are poised to create a dynamic space that appeals to coffee enthusiasts, travel lovers, and innovative businesses alike, establishing ANA Sky Connect Namba as a must-visit destination in the heart of Osaka.
