HERITAGE
The name of our hotel hearkens back to 1874.
The first Osaka Station was born in this very location in the midst of Japan’s rush toward modernization.
Rather than a traditional wooden structure, the Western-style station was built of red bricks,
a symbol of a new age and a landmark for its time that attracted the populace and connected travelers to the city.
Later, the station building was relocated, then repeatedly expanded and remodeled as Osaka itself developed and grew.
Though there were plans over the years to add a full-fledged hotel, due to the impact of World War II and other factors, those plans were never realized.
Bearing in mind this location’s historical significance, we have named our hotel THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL,
exemplifying our desire to honor memories of the railway and the aspirations of those who came before us,
and to continue our pursuit of a vision for what the hotel should be.

HOTEL LOGO
Logo Design
Based on the concept of a temporal intersection of the past and future,
the empty space in the middle of the logo represents a window and the surrounding border a railway,
with the cyclical shape signifying connections and advancement.
The design evokes images of views out the window while travelling,
and seamlessly connects people to each other and to the city.
