October 7, 2026Japan’s hospitality sector is entering a new phase of strategic recalibration. The Hotel Investment Summit Japan #HISJ convenes institutional investors, hotel operators, and consultants to assess how Japan’s slow-burn tourism recovery translates into real opportunity.
Domestic demand is stable, but international flows remain uneven. Currency dynamics, aging assets, and zoning complexities weigh heavily. This is where structure competes with story—and where capital must now look deeper than location.

October 7, 2026Japanese hotel design is shifting from quiet luxury to contextual storytelling. The Hotel Design Summit Japan #HDSJ gathers architects, hospitality developers, and hotel brands to examine how tradition, technology, and tonality are shaping the next generation of hospitality spaces.
In today’s competitive landscape, design is no longer about minimalism. It is about meaning. Whether through reimagined heritage buildings or hyper-efficient capsule formats, Japanese properties must now connect emotionally and functionally with diverse traveler expectations. This is where every design choice carries narrative weight—and where space must reflect both intention and identity.

October 8, 2026Japan’s revenue playbook is being rewritten in real time. The Hotel Revenue Summit Japan #HRSJ brings together GMs, commercial strategists, and digital marketers to recalibrate pricing, packaging, and positioning for a landscape defined by demand volatility, domestic saturation, and cautious international recovery.
Legacy models built on predictability are losing ground. Peak seasons now stretch operations thin, while off-peak periods demand new levers of engagement. With traveler behavior fragmenting across demographics and source markets, revenue leaders must adapt faster and smarter. This is where forecasting becomes finesse—and where old assumptions are no longer safe to scale.
