Star Asia Investment Corp. ( (JP:3468) ) has issued an announcement.
Star Asia Investment Corporation reported that its hotel portfolio with variable rents continued to perform steadily in February 2026, supported by record inbound tourism to Japan of 3.47 million visitors, up 6.4% year on year, despite a sharp fall in Chinese arrivals. Strong demand from South Korea, Taiwan and other markets, along with domestic travel, business and event-related stays, underpinned high occupancy and solid RevPAR across key regions including Hokkaido, Sendai, Fukuoka and Kagoshima.
Regional trends were mixed, with Hokkaido benefiting from the Snow Festival and Lunar New Year, Sendai seeing a surge in Thai visitors on increased direct flights, and Osaka shifting from peak inbound levels toward a more balanced mix as revenue management focused on domestic and nearby Asian markets. The REIT also completed guest room renovations at KOKO HOTEL Osaka Shinsaibashi after the peak season to enhance future RevPAR, signaling an ongoing effort to upgrade assets and sustain earnings from its hotel segment.
