TKP Corporation (TKP) has acquired APA Hotel <Himeji-Ekikita> and APA Hotel <Uozu-Ekimae> in Japan.
After acquiring the properties from the APA Group, TKP will conclude a franchise agreement with APA Hotel and begin operating them from March 2, 2026. As a result, the number of APA Hotels operating under franchise contracts will increase to 22.
As part of its expansion strategy, TKP aims to limit initial investment by acquiring existing hotels rather than developing new ones. The APA Group is proceeding with the sale and franchising of its regional hotels across Japan.
APA Hotel <Himeji-Ekikita> is a hotel with 168 guest rooms and a restaurant, and APA Hotel <Uozu-Ekimae> is a hotel with 145 guest rooms and a restaurant; both are located close to their respective train stations.
