Experience of the stay
Counting the cost-performance, location, facilities, and service, I found myself staying here six times in a year and a half.
With Hafh, I can casually think, "I'm bored, should I stay at OMO7 and have some fun?" It's an excellent cost-efficiency.
Since it's near Shin-Imamiya Station, you can easily get to and from Shin-Osaka Station via JR or subway. If coming from Kansai Airport, you have convenient access via JR or Nankai lines.
Shin-Imamiya wasn't always considered a safe area. In the past, people would warn women and children against staying there. Although I'm local to Osaka, I felt uneasy walking around at night years ago.
However, things have improved significantly now, and I no longer see homeless individuals along the way to OMO7. While Osaka retains its rich history, the environment along the way to OMO7 has transformed, removing any concerns about safety while staying.
If you stay at OMO7 Osaka with children, they can run around on the spacious lawn, which is truly wonderful. Both day and night, kids can run around on the grass while adults can sit and watch over them.
The content of the PIKA PIKA NIGHT changes with the seasons, so you can enjoy it every time you visit.
Recently during summer visits, we received snacks and ramune, made original fans by stamping, and enjoyed Smart Ball games. During our two summer stays, my daughter attempted Smart Ball for the first time and surprisingly achieved double bingo both times. She discovered unexpected talent! (LOL)
In winter, a fugu dome is set up and paper lanterns are transformed into adorable fugu shapes.
The selection of craft beers changes with the seasons, and if there are takoyaki with dashi, I find myself going back for seconds and thirds.
This is a hotel I want to visit again and again, and I highly recommend it.

Experiences during the trip
For those visiting Osaka for the first time and wanting to thoroughly enjoy the city, I recommend the "Raku-yu Pass." We used the pass to enjoy the Tsutenkaku observation deck (taking photos with Glico and Pocky), Legoland Osaka, and the Santa Maria cruise, and we even extended our trip to Kaiyodo Hobby Land (where we took photos of dinosaurs and Egypt). There are many other attractions covered by the Raku-yu Pass, so it's lucky if your interests align with those listed.
At another time during our stay, we visited the Tennoji Zoo (which is close to the Shinsekai entrance, just a walk from OMO7), the Sewer Science Museum (which features a unique stamp rally and gives out manhole cards), Hug Museum (where preschoolers can play for free on BorneLund playground equipment or try making simple pies for 200 yen, alongside enjoying a magical recipe book. There's also an Aeon store right next to it, which is very convenient), and Kids Plaza Osaka (where we took pictures inside soap bubbles and photos while playing store). Osaka is full of enjoyable places, so make sure to use OMO7 Osaka as your base for exploring.
