Japan plans 2027 application window for two integrated resort licences
Japan's Tourism Agency is preparing an application window for local governments seeking to host integrated resorts with casinos, reportedly running from 6 May to 5 November 2027. A draft Cabinet order remains subject to public discussion before formal adoption; the law allows up to three locations nationwide, with Osaka already selected.
Local governments have a defined future window to seek one of the two remaining integrated resort locations.
