Nippon Hotel & Residential Investment Corporation (3472)

Overview

Ooedo Onsen Reit Investment Corporation, known as Ooedo Onsen Reit, made its debut on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) section on August 31, 2016. Distinguished as a specialized J-REIT, its investments primarily focus on onsen (hot spring) and spa-related facilities. Onsen, integral to Japanese culture for centuries, cater to the leisure and daily life activities of the population. The ongoing aging demographic within society has led to an unparalleled demand for onsen and spas, particularly among the elderly. This demand is further amplified by the increasing number of international tourists and a mature consumer society leaning towards time-consumption-type industries. Recognizing the potential of onsen as an industry with a broad customer base and a bright future, Ooedo Onsen Reit is positioned to play a pivotal role. The corporation aims to invigorate local economies through strategic investments in the onsen sector while bridging the gap between onsen-based industries and capital markets to nurture and expand the onsen culture as part of daily life and leisure.
