What INTEX Osaka does

INTEX Osaka is one of Japan's largest international exhibition venue complexes, located in the Sakishima area of Osaka Bay and operated since 1985 by the non-profit general incorporated foundation 一般財団法人大阪国際経済振興センター (International Business Promotion Center Osaka / IBPCOSAKA). The site occupies approximately 120,000 square meters, comprising six exhibition halls (Halls 1–6 with zones A–D) plus an outdoor exhibition field, organized into ten rentable zones totaling over 69,500 square meters of exhibition space. The facility supports the full MICE value chain — planning, operation, and teardown — and includes dedicated conference rooms (an international conference hall for up to 294 persons, VIP rooms, meeting rooms A–D, multipurpose halls G and H, lofts and side rooms), a 304-inch digital display (INTEX Vision), an on-site business center, optical-fiber and local 5G connectivity, Yamato transport counter, public Wi-Fi, on-site parking, and catering/coin-locker/baby-room services. Notable events include the G20 Osaka Summit (2019), and annual throughput exceeds 200 events with approximately 3 million visitors (cumulative since opening: ~6,000 events and ~130 million visitors).

Revenue derives entirely from B2B transactions with event organizers (industry associations, exhibition companies, corporate event planners, academic societies, government bodies) and ancillary buyers (commercial filming clients, advertisers). Pricing is per-event, per-zone, on a quoted basis rather than standardized SaaS subscription: exhibition-hall base-usage fees range ¥286,000 to ¥3,036,000 per day (¥1,364,000 for Hall 1, up to ¥3,036,000 for Hall 6A); conference rooms ¥6,490–¥330,000; parking ¥500–¥2,500 per visit with disabled discounts; commercial filming ¥50,000–¥200,000 per half-day; and column/billboard advertising via annual contracts (¥308,000/year for a large column ad). All pricing is ex-consumption-tax unless stated. Marketing and sales run direct through the official website (https://www.intex-osaka.com), Facebook/X accounts, partner-event organizer channels, and the Osaka Bay Area MICE Promotion Council; no third-party resellers or consumer-facing campaigns are operated.

The venue is geographically anchored by Osaka Bay-area transport links — free shuttle buses from Nakafuto Station (Nankai) and Cosmosquare Station (Osaka Metro), with ~40-minute access from central Osaka — and is operationally linked to co-located hotels (Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay, Hotel Fukuracia Osaka Bay, ATC). A cross-departmental SDGs Project Team (formed 2022) oversees sustainability initiatives including a facility-wide LED lighting retrofit (~100% common areas, ~92% exhibition-hall lighting) and a thermal-grid HVAC platform. Building 3 is scheduled for large-scale renovation closure from April 2027 through March 2028, representing the principal capacity-side investment in the near term.
