The numbers of visitors coming to Japan are rising along with the number of days that people stay, and it's estimated that about 20,000 more rooms need to be added in the Kinki region to fill the need for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Because of that, lodging facilities have steeply raised prices. However, this live house managed by LD＆K, the managers of Osaka Shangri-La, has renovated part of their facilities to become a hostel with the goal of being an environment where musicians and music lovers coming to Osaka can relax and enjoy music.
