LeTech Opens Two Lodging Properties in Osaka
LeTech opened two properties under its HOTEL LEGALIE lodging series in Osaka on May 15, 2026. The series is a brand the company operates as apartment buildings dedicated to private lodging use. The two properties have a combined 98 rooms and are designed mainly for inbound tourists, accommodating large-group stays as well as medium- to long-term stays.
HOTEL LEGALIE Osaka Nipponbashi South is located a one-minute walk from Ebisucho Station on the Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line. The property is close to the Namba area and Tsutenkaku, and is expected to serve tourists visiting the surrounding area. It has 82 rooms, all equipped with home appliances and kitchenware.
HOTEL LEGALIE Osaka Shinsaibashi North is located a three-minute walk from Nagahoribashi Station on the Osaka Metro Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line and an eight-minute walk from Shinsaibashi Station on the Midosuji Line. The property is close to the Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori areas and is expected to capture both tourism and business demand. It has 16 rooms and offers six room types, including a 79-square-meter (approx. 850 sq. ft.) maisonette suite.
LeTech became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Forestry last year through a tender offer. Sumitomo Forestry aims to incorporate LeTech’s land sourcing capabilities and integrated structure spanning development and sales as it seeks to expand its land-set business and rental housing business. According to Osaka Prefecture statistics, the total number of foreign guest nights in Osaka City reached about 24 million in 2024, up 34.5% from the previous year. Through these projects, LeTech appears to be aiming to capture demand from inbound travelers and group stays around the Nipponbashi and Shinsaibashi areas.
