Experience of the stay
This time, I came to 'OMO7 Osaka by Hoshino Resorts' through HafH. It's a popular hotel that's always ranked high, so many must be curious about it.
First, access is recommended by 'train' since it’s right in front of the station. I went from JR Shin-Imamiya Station, and I thought it was close because I could see the hotel from the platform, but I mistakenly exited through the West exit. You can get there from the West exit, but it’s better to go from the East exit because the stairs at Shin-Imamiya Station are tough to navigate.
At the hotel entrance, there was also a shining Billiken statue. The soles of his feet are well worn too!
The room type I booked through HafH was the 'King Room'. The sink is not in the bathroom but installed inside the room.
The window is wide, giving a beautiful view of the night skyline. There is space on both sides of the sofa, so the area feels spacious.
The TV is quite compact. I wonder if the importance of the in-room TV has been decreasing, and I think there are more and more guests who don’t watch TV while staying.
Check-in and check-out can also be done through a self-service machine system. On the day of my stay, an event called 'Brilliant Autumn Leaves Night' was being held, and the OMO series is rich with events and tours that enhance the enjoyment of staying.
Be sure to experience this when you stay.
The area around the hotel is close to Nishinari, so it can’t be said it's a nice neighborhood. I was surprised to find a Hoshino Resorts hotel in such a place, but similar to Abeno Harukas, it seems like the atmosphere of the town is gradually changing.
The hotel itself is very new, and there are so many attractions, including on-site facilities like the public bath that I could not introduce this time.
I stayed alone this time, but it felt like it would be enjoyable for couples or families as well. Since it’s a popular HafH spot in the Osaka area, if you’re curious, definitely consider staying!
Experiences during the trip
You may not know it if you don't have a good sense of direction in the area, but the vicinity of OMO7 Osaka by Hoshino Resorts is quite a DEEP spot in Osaka. The hotel is full of a resort feel, but as soon as you step outside, that resort experience completely disappears. Be careful not to accidentally wander into the DEEP spots of Nishinari. For beginners, I recommend checking out the Tsutenkaku in Shinsekai. However, even that lively neighborhood vibe in Shinsekai might make locals feel scared. But for those who love the rich flavors of typical Osaka culture, it's definitely worth a visit!
