Venue: 7th floor hall (Whole)
![[Osaka] Just 45 min from Kansai Airport! A complete guide to Namba SkyO, a MICE hub directly connected to Namba Station](https://resources.matcha-jp.com/resize/720x2000/2026/03/11-260862.webp)
A neighboring company hosted its landmark event, the 100th Anniversary Appreciation Gathering, at Namba SkyO.
The first part featured a Commemorative Rakugo Performance, in which three Kamigata Rakugo performers presented their signature storytelling acts.
The second part was a Networking Reception, organized as a standing buffet-style party.
More than 120 participants—including company representatives and invited guests—came together to celebrate this significant milestone marking the company’s 100 years of history.

A key factor in the success of the commemorative event was the smooth operation of the Rakugo performance, which served as the main program of the celebration.
Our hall staff—who have extensive experience in hosting Rakugo events—took the lead in providing clear guidance and attentive support to address the client’s requests and concerns. We also carefully prepared the essential elements unique to Rakugo performances, including the setup of the koza (performer’s stage), ensuring that every detail was arranged with professionalism and cultural sensitivity.

Corporate Business-Matching and Networking Event

A joint business matching event for innovative startups and companies from Japan and overseas was held in our 7th‑floor hall.
