The Japan read

From the company's own filing for Q1 (Apr–Jun 2026) · reported 2026-08-07 · the filing

StoresTenant sales at JR Tower, its Sapporo Station complex, were ¥14.37bn, above last year's ¥14.18bn but 0.5% short of target: April and May were on plan, but a cool June held back summer clothing. Tax-free sales there rose 25.3% to ¥910m.
InboundInbound rail ticket revenue was ¥1.17bn against ¥1.18bn a year earlier, 1.7% short of plan. English-language ticket sales (¥700m) were strong, but rail passes (¥470m) were hit by curbs on travel from China, among other things, the company says; Hokkaido-only passes sold fell 22.3% to 17,910.
JapanIts hotels and its shops and restaurants captured strong inbound demand, the company says: JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo took ¥1.13bn (¥1.09bn a year earlier) and its Hokkaido Shiki Marché and Shikisai-kan souvenir shops ¥1.20bn (¥1.04bn).
