Hotel Nikko Oita Oasis Tower can seat 800 people theater style in its grand ballroom, receive 600 for a standing reception and host smaller meetings and dinners in eleven further rooms. The hotel also runs weddings with its own ceremony and banquet venues. It stands at 2-48 Takasago-cho in central Oita, on the island of Kyushu, next to a large hall of about 2,000 seats.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells meeting and banquet plans for conferences, training sessions, award ceremonies and company dinners, with a MICE team and event planners who handle large programs. The main ballroom divides into thirds, so a plenary can be followed by parallel sessions or a dinner in the same space. Rooms on the upper floors suit board meetings and receptions with a view over the city, and the adjoining large hall gives organisers a route to conventions bigger than the hotel itself.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a core activity. The hotel has a ceremony venue and several banquet rooms for receptions, wedding menus, packaged plans, regular bridal fairs and a bridal salon that advises couples.
Rooms and capacities
Kujaku no Ma, the grand ballroom on the fifth floor, covers 655 square meters with a 6-meter ceiling. Full size, it seats 380 at dinner, 420 in classroom and 800 theater style, or 600 standing. Two thirds of the room takes 450 theater style, half takes 350 and one third takes 250. On the same floor, the small rooms Kotobuki and Nishiki each seat 20, or 40 when combined into 74 square meters. On the third floor, Kohbai no Ma is the medium banquet room, with the smaller rooms Yuki, Tsuki and Hana. The sky banquet rooms Sirius, Atlas, Orchid and Rose are on the 20th floor and Etoile on the 21st. The hotel does not publish capacities for the third-floor and sky rooms online, so ask for them with your request.
Accommodation
Guest rooms are split between standard floors and Skyfloor rooms on the upper levels of the tower. The total number of rooms is not stated on the site, so confirm the block for your delegates when you ask.
Catering
Catering for meetings, banquets and weddings is prepared by the hotel. Its restaurants include Ciel Azur for French cooking, Orizuru for Japanese cuisine and Serena for all-day dining, plus the Fountain lobby lounge, which gives options for working lunches and evening dinners outside the banquet rooms.
History and setting
The tower was designed by Nikken Sekkei and the hotel is run by Okura Nikko Hotel Management. The building forms part of a cultural and commercial complex in the city center, which is why a large hall sits next door to the banquet floors.
Getting there
JR Oita Station is about 10 minutes on foot or a few minutes by taxi. From Oita Airport, the Airliner express bus reaches the station in a little over an hour, depending on traffic.
