Experience of the stay
I visited Osaka for a 2-night, 3-day trip during a long weekend. My main purposes were the expo and hiking Mount Kongō, and I stayed at OMO7 Osaka by Hoshino Resorts, which I had been keen on since it opened.
As the top-tier brand under the OMO brand, OMO7 has a spacious interior with tasteful restaurants and cafes, and various activities that utilize the vast lawn in front. The location is very convenient, being right in front of Shin-Imamiya Station, within walking distance to Shinsekai and Tennoji, and easily accessible by train to Kitah and Minami, as well as Nara and Wakayama.
The room was very clean, with elegant furnishings and a practical layout; I loved the style of taking off my shoes to enter and having a part of it with tatami mats. Of course, the bathroom and toilet are separate and very comfortable.
There are plenty of chairs and tables both inside the property and on the lawn area, allowing you to relax or work in your preferred spot.
Experiences during the trip
First, the Expo. It takes about 30 minutes with one train change from the hotel to arrive.
The venue is a bright and peaceful festival with a collection of great things from around the world, and I was moved by the various pavilions and the interactions among people from different countries, which is the essence of the expo. I’m glad I went!
And then the hike up Mount Kongō. It takes about an hour in total, moving by train to Kawachinagano and then renting a car to reach the trailhead. From the summit of Mount Kongō, you can overlook the city of Osaka, and see Mount Rokko and Awaji Island across Osaka Bay. The mountain is well-maintained to the extent that you don't need hiking gear, making it enjoyable as a hike too.
