Experience of the stay
If you are looking for a new accommodation experience that differs from the sophisticated hotels in Kyoto and Tokyo, "SEKAI HOTEL Fuse" is a must-visit.
This hotel offers a unique concept of making the entire town a hotel, allowing you to enjoy your journey while blending seamlessly into the local life.
Because it’s located in Osaka’s local town of Fuse, not right in the middle of tourist attractions, you can experience the authentic Japanese lifestyle.
I encourage you to experience this new style of "staying within the region" at SEKAI HOTEL Fuse, which goes beyond the framework of a traditional hotel.
The most remarkable feature of SEKAI HOTEL Fuse is its unique system of dispersing hotel functions throughout the town.
Unlike typical hotels, the front desk, guest rooms, dining, and bath are located in different spots.
✔ Check in at the dedicated SEKAI HOTEL front desk
✔ Guest rooms are uniquely designed from renovated vacant houses
✔ Breakfast is offered at local bakeries and cafes
✔ Baths are at traditional sentos (public baths)
Instead of having everything contained within the hotel, you immerse yourself in the daily life as you walk around the town.
This sense of "traveling equals becoming a part of the community" is SEKAI HOTEL's greatest charm.
The guest rooms at SEKAI HOTEL Fuse are designed with warmth, making use of the original structures of traditional houses and vacant properties while incorporating modern interiors, resulting in a comfortable and soothing space.
✔ Rooms with tatami mats that evoke a sense of Japanese hospitality
✔ Minimalist and sophisticated design
✔ Comfortable sofas and beds for relaxation
It’s pleasant to spend time leisurely while feeling the history of the town.
SEKAI HOTEL implements a unique system where local restaurants and sentos serve as facilities for overnight guests.
For example, breakfast comes in the form of a bread set from a local long-standing bakery.
Dinner can be enjoyed at popular izakayas and dining spots in the area.
This removes the worry of "where to eat during your travel" and creates natural interactions with local residents, which is wonderful.
Additionally, the bath facilities are traditional sentos.
Soaking in large communal baths with locals gives you the true feeling of "living like a local."
Fuse is a local area a bit far from the hustle and bustle of Osaka's city center.
It’s a place where you can feel the real Osaka, away from the noise of tourist attractions.
✔ Enjoy authentic Osaka gourmet that isn't aimed at tourists
✔ Experience local shopping at shopping streets and markets
✔ Connect with the warmth of the local people
Staying in Fuse allows you to encounter the "real Osaka" that's different from Tsutenkaku and Dotonbori, which is the charm of this area.
The staff at SEKAI HOTEL can guide you to local spots, providing a deep experience that's different from typical tourist attractions.
SEKAI HOTEL Fuse is not just a lodging facility but a place to enjoy the community itself.
✔ Experience where the entire town becomes a hotel and connect with locals
✔ Stay comfortably in uniquely renovated guest rooms
✔ Enjoy meals and baths at local establishments, introducing a new style of travel
✔ Feel the real Osaka, away from tourist attractions
It's not just about staying; it's about spending your travel time with the community.
For those seeking such a special experience, SEKAI HOTEL Fuse is the perfect accommodation.
Experiences during the trip
When you think of Osaka, you think of "konamon" (food made with flour)! While famous tourist spots have their charm, the truly delicious okonomiyaki can be found at local eateries frequented by the residents.
One such hidden gem is "Okonomiyaki Yoshihiro" located in Osaka's Fuse.
This restaurant is a traditional okonomiyaki shop that emanates a nostalgic atmosphere just a short distance from the Fuse shopping district.
Although the exterior appears simple, once you step inside, the premium aroma captivates the hearts of pancake lovers.
The okonomiyaki at Yoshihiro is perfectly grilled to a delightful crispy brown exterior while maintaining a fluffy interior.
Its distinct characteristic is the well-defined grill marks, making the grilled flavor more prominent than that of your average okonomiyaki.
The batter is mixed with generous amounts of cabbage and yam, and as you take a bite, a burst of sweetness spreads in your mouth. Additionally, thick slices of pork belly, a signature of Osaka, are generously placed on top for an indulgent taste experience!
The sauce is a rich type with a subtle sweetness and pairing it with mayonnaise creates a blissful flavor.
The balance between the fluffy texture of the batter and the crispy grilled pork belly is perfect.
This combination of grilling and sauce is unforgettable once you have tried it.
Also, I highly recommend the "Naniwa Croquette" located in the shopping district.
The freshly fried croquette is surprisingly reasonable in price and perfect for a snack on the go or to take home for a late-night treat.
Be sure to enjoy a hotel stay that allows you to appreciate the town of Fuse!
