business and the tourist trade
TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Okura
Nikko Hotel Management Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hotel
Okura Co., Ltd., announced today that it will open the Hotel JAL
City Toyama in 2022. The new property will be centrally located in front
of Toyama station, which is served by the Hokuriku Shinkansen with
direct connections to Nagano and Tokyo.
Situated in a region that includes abundant supplies of clean water
suitable for industrial use, Toyama is home to companies manufacturing
precision industrial products, microfabrics and high-performance robots.
It additionally benefits from an abundant and inexpensive supply of
power as well as the presence of a number of research facilities that
are the result of collaboration between government, industry and
academia. Over the years it has developed into one of the leading
industrial cities on the Sea of Japan coast.
There are additionally several tourist attractions in the vicinity
including the picturesque Toyama Bay. The Hokuriku Shinkansen, which was
extended to the city of Kanazawa in 2015, has significantly improved
access to Toyama from both the Kansai and Kanto areas. The city is
accordingly enjoying an increase in the number of business and leisure
travelers.

visitors to the new property.”
The company will contract with Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd. and its
wholly owned subsidiary Nishimatsu Hotel Management Co., Ltd. for asset
and project management services for the new property towards the end of
June. Nishimatsu Construction decided to provide these services in the
light of the perceived potential of Toyama city. The company sees a
long-term future for the hotel, and plans to utilize its know-how from
the planning and design stages. They will consign day-today operation of
the property to Okura Nikko Hotel Management in view of its wide network
of properties in Japan and overseas.
