Osaka: The Heart of Kansai
This time, I stayed in a twin room where you can open your suitcase comfortably. The room offers children's pajamas and a high-floor view overlooking the railway at Tennoji Station. The room is well-equipped with an air purifier and humidifier, DHC amenities, and a bathroom with a bathtub, allowing you to enjoy and experience Japanese bathing culture in the comfort of your room, relieving the fatigue of the day. The service is excellent, and the room is very clean.
The hotel's restaurant, 'Sky Restaurant,' is located on the top floor, offering a panoramic view of Osaka's morning during breakfast. It is recommended to sit by the window. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, with must-tries including freshly made okonomiyaki and takoyaki. The Western section recommends yogurt cups and Nara pickles, creating a fusion of Japanese and Western flavors.
The hotel is located opposite Tennoji Station, about a one-minute walk, making it a transportation hub. It has JR, Midosuji Subway Line, and Hankai Tramway, allowing travelers to reach Kansai Airport in 30 minutes (Haruka Express), directly access Shinsaibashi and Umeda, walk 10 minutes to Tennoji Zoo, and 5 minutes to 'Abeno Harukas' (Japan's tallest building). Additionally, Tennoji provides seamless connections to surrounding areas such as Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, and Wakayama.
There are also two major department stores nearby: Kintetsu Department Store and Q's Mall. Additionally, it is recommended to try the freshly made '551 Horai' meat buns at Tennoji Station.
This hotel is suitable for first-time visitors to Osaka, and it offers easy access to other areas.
