Hotel and hospitality properties

At Hikari Investment Properties we have a special interest in hotels and the hospitality industry properties, built on extensive experience and expertise in the industry. We understand the industry and its driving forces, and can help you source attractive investments in properties throughout Japan, ranging in size from local boutique hotels to global brands, from entry level through to luxury properties.

The timing for investment is excellent. The return to growth in the Japanese economy is feeding growing demand for hotels from both domestic travelers and overseas visitors, with occupancy rates trending higher, boosting returns on investment.

The cheaper yen not only makes the price of hotel and hospitality properties more attractive, it also underpins a growing boom in tourism. The Japanese Government has targeted International Visitor numbers to rise from 10 million in 2013 to 20 million by 2020, and 30 million by 2030.

Numerous initiatives including the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, the introduction of legislation to support the opening of casinos in the country slated for 2020, and relaxing visa regulations for many countries are driving this growth. It is supported by low cost airlines in Japan and Asia that are increasing access to and travel within Japan. All these factors make the 1 to 15 year outlook for the industry very positive.

As most hotel and hospitality industry properties are operating businesses that require confidentiality, we only introduce properties on an individual inquiry basis in response to specific requests on the type of property and location. Please contact us learn more about opportunities in the Japanese market, and with any specific requests you may have.
