Longrun Planning Relocates Osaka Office to CITY Matsumoto Building Near Namba Station

Longrun Planning Co., Ltd., whose corporate philosophy is “Bringing entertainment closer to everyone,” announced that it relocated its Osaka office to the CITY Matsumoto Building in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, and began operations there on May 13, 2026. Since its founding in 2004, the company has worked to expand Japan’s entertainment market and provide support for event organizers. After marking its 20th anniversary in February 2024, the company positioned that milestone as a new starting point for further business expansion. In April of the same year, it established the Osaka office to further energize the live entertainment market in the Kansai region and provide closer support to local customers and partner companies. Since opening the Osaka office, Longrun Planning has expanded steadily in Kansai through initiatives such as opening the TKTS discount ticket stores at the Namba Tourist Information Center and Osaka Tsutenkaku, as well as launching the Kansai edition of the theater information magazine Confetti. The relocation to a prime location near Namba Station in the heart of Osaka’s Minami district is intended to support this growth and accelerate future business development in the Kansai region. The new Osaka office is located at CITY Matsumoto 405, 2-7-16 Nambanaka, Naniwa-ku, Osaka 556-0011. It is a four-minute walk from Nankai Railway’s Namba Station and an eight-minute walk from Namba Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line. The company’s key Kansai achievements include operating TKTS stores at the Namba Tourist Information Center and Osaka Tsutenkaku. TKTS is an official discount ticket store originating from New York Broadway, where customers can purchase live entertainment tickets up to one week before performances at discounts of up to 50%. It sells tickets across a wide range of genres, including plays, musicals, traditional performing arts such as Noh and Kabuki, live music, sports, and art exhibitions. Longrun Planning has operated the Japanese version of TKTS since receiving official authorization in 2019 from Theatre Development Fund, the organization that operates TKTS in New York. The company also launched the Kansai edition of the theater information magazine Confetti on February 1, 2024. The free magazine features original interviews with notable performers, special reader-only ticket offers, and columns, and is distributed at theaters, city racks, hotels, and TKTS locations across the Kansai region. Looking ahead, Longrun Planning will use the two TKTS stores at the Namba Tourist Information Center and Tsutenkaku as core locations to raise TKTS awareness and strengthen ticket sales in Kansai. It also plans to expand the distribution area and content of the Kansai edition of Confetti, strengthen the Osaka office as a base for information sharing and business development in Kansai, actively plan and produce original content that highlights the region’s appeal, and deepen collaboration with theaters, production companies, organizers, local governments, and other partners.
