Marriott International's new experiential, design-driven brand set to open two new hotels in Tokyo and Osaka.
Tokyo, Japan – Marriott International announced the openings of two new additions to its Moxy Hotels brand: Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho and Moxy Osaka Honmachi. True to its name, the Moxy brand is designed for a new generation of socially extroverted, curious and energetic global “Fun Hunters“.
Owned by Tokyo-based Pacifica Capital K.K., the 205-room Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho is located in the urban Kinshicho district, close to some of the city’s coolest tourist attractions such as the Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Dome and the historic Asakusa Sensoji Temple, so exploring the city is easy. Kinshicho station is only a five-minute walk away, making access a breeze from Narita and Haneda international airports.
“Today’s consumer is less desirous of a cookie cutter experience and in fact wants to discover something new, take in the city, the food, the local scene, whether he/she is there for a day or a week,” says Hisashi Oinuma, Captain, Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho.

In Osaka, Moxy Osaka Honmachi is owned by EGW Asset Management Inc., and is located just steps away from Honmachi Station, one of Osaka’s main train stations. This 155-room Moxy is a playground for modern urban explorers in Osaka. The hotel is located within easy distance of Osaka Castle, the food and nightlife of the Shinsaibashi quarter and the amazing shopping of Namba district.
“Moxy is specifically designed for this new generation of travelers – we call them Fun Hunters – who are looking for a hotel environment that allows them to have an experience on their terms,” says Shigeki Nakagawa, Captain, Moxy Osaka Honmachi. “They want a hotel that is wired to their specific needs, a place to stay that is affordable, fun, and awesome“.
“We threw out the rule book for conventional hotel models to create Moxy’s Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho and Moxy Osaka Honmachi,” says Mike Fulkerson, vice president, Brand & Marketing, Marriott International. “These two new brand additions will continue to show the world what “moxie” really means and encourage our guests to play on.”
