During the Edo period, Osaka Port was known as the "Kitchen of the Nation" and served as a distribution hub for goods from all over Western Japan. It developed as a key logistics hub in Western Japan. Rice merchants (rice wholesalers) received rice tax payments from the western feudal domains in their storehouses, conducted transactions through the Dojima Rice Exchange, and established Japan’s first futures trading. They played an important role as a commercial group supporting the port economy.
Konjakuso Osaka Tempozan KOMESHOU-Rice Merchant- was born from the history of rice trading at Osaka Port, renovating the office building of a logistics company with deep roots in the area. Experience the history of the area through the bathtubs and artwork, and enjoy a private stay with your friends.
