Experience of the stay
This time, it was a special trip with my dad joining our usual mother-daughter travel duo. Therefore, we looked for a triple room and stayed at this hotel.
From the entrance, there was a somewhat Japanese-style ambiance that left a calm and lovely impression.
The triple room was compact with three single beds, but it was sufficient for our trip. Since we had been out early in the morning, once we checked in, we took a nap first. It was great to rest in a cool room. After waking up, we went out to Umeda and Namba.
The hotel had a pleasant evening atmosphere as well. The open terrace with bamboo landscaping and lighting was wonderfully refreshing.
Using a Japanese-style interior design, the shoji screens on the room's windows created a lovely ambiance. The bedding was clean in white and beige, which was well-suited for us as mature adults. There were plenty of comfortable features, including USB ports in the headboard for charging smartphones and lights to create a pleasant stay.
There was a dedicated lounge on the first floor, but we didn't use it this time. It seemed to be open until 9 PM at night. It was also the breakfast area where many guests utilized it. The atmosphere seemed nice.
Regarding the location of the hotel, we went by private car, so we had concerns about parking. However, since we arrived early, we were able to park in a coin parking lot right next door. There seemed to be plenty of other coin parking options nearby as well. We used the subway for city transport. The nearest exit is about a 2-minute walk from the hotel. Honmachi Station offers good access to various directions, and being just slightly distanced from the bustling area made parking more manageable. We didn't reserve parking ahead, and since we could quickly get on and off the highway, this location might be recommended for those traveling to Osaka by car.
This Osaka trip with my dad had one major concern—parking—so getting that resolved quickly made all subsequent activities smooth, and my dad was in a good mood. 🤣 This hotel might be ideal for private car travelers! 🤗
Experiences during the trip
On the first day, we visited Umeda, Namba, and Osaka Castle. 🤗 The next day, we began early by going to Abeno Harukas, which my daughter had never been to before.
Since it was early morning, there weren't many people, and we could enjoy breakfast at a café without any waiting. Although for us, it was more like morning sweets than breakfast... I think it's quite common for popular spots to have long lines at cafes, but going early in the morning is a great tip since it’s less crowded. Enjoying the views from the upper floors while taking our time was delightful.
Well, our follow-up plan was... it only takes about 30 minutes from Osaka Honmachi by car to get to Kobe! So we decided to extend our trip to Kobe. 🤗 We climbed the Kobe Port Tower (it was hot!) and enjoyed Mosaic and Harborland. Just a little bit, but we got to taste Kobe beef too, making it a trip that was enjoyable not just in Osaka but in Kobe as well, which felt like a bonus!
