Where is Osaka Casino going to be located and when will construction be completed? (Yumeshima/Konohana ward)

Why is Osaka Casino suitable as a candidate site?

Osaka has been working on an IR promotion plan while budgeting a lot of yearly survey expenses more than any other prefecture in Japan. Both of the two financial circles, Kansai Association of Corporate Executives and Kansai Economic Federation have continued promotional activities and even the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry is confrontational about cooperating on the idea of the creation of a Osaka Casino integrated resort attraction.


Such Osaka IR facilities have been considered on the artificial island called Yumeshima along Osaka Bay.



This region is an artificially made island for the olympic village of the summer Olympics in 2008. Since then, the focus switched to being a candidate site for the International Exposition planned to be held 2025 as well as Banpakukinen Park and Rinkuu Town as of 2016, and now it’s a leading candidate for the expo and IR.



The synergetic effect of Osaka Expo and the Casino Integrated Resort facility seems more effective than expected in bringing tourists in from all over the world and even casino IR itself is estimating about 13,000,000,000 USD of economic effect according to the survey published in January 2017 by Osaka if it’s open in 2030 in Yumeshima.


Also, the municipal subway (Osaka Metro) Chuo line and JR West Japan Sakurajima line (JR Yumesaki line) are planning to extend to Yumeshima, especially Sakurajima line can be used to go to Universal Studios Japan, so that is expected and it should be the biggest synergic effect with the IR.



So, that is why Osaka is suitable as a casino candidate site where a lot of tourists come from both inside and outside of Japan every year with such a large economic effect.




Where is Osaka Casino going to be located and when would it be made?

1. When would Osaka Casino be made?

As far as looking at the schedule for opening a casino resort, it is expected that Japan’s first IR will be completed between 2024 and 2025.



2. Where would Osaka Casino be constructed?

As mentioned before, it can be an initiator of the Kansai economy because of its synergic effect with the Expo and Theme park, so the attraction of Yumeshima will quite likely be promoted.







However, to utilize the effect to a maximum, it is expected that the IR will open before Osaka Expo is held in 2025.
