Experience of the stay
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this hotel has become my go-to place in Osaka.
I stayed there to align with the Hafu Comm's PIKAPIKA NIGHT event.
The hotel is within walking distance from JR Shin-Imamiya Station or Metro Dobutsuen-mae Station.
As you approach from the station, you're welcomed by the vast garden area "Miyagurin".
From the first-floor entrance, take the escalator or elevator up to the second floor, and passing through the Takoyaki Tunnel, you reach the spacious lobby area. The large OMO base can be used freely before and after check-in as well as during the stay. You can quickly check in using a tablet and head to your room.
The King room I frequently stay in.
Is this the only place where a regional map is painted on the wall of the room? It’s fun to look at it while relaxing and thinking about all that Osaka has to offer.
It's nice to relax without shoes too! The tatami is probably rare among OMOs?
The bed area being tucked away gives it a secret base feeling that I love!
The bathroom is separate from the toilet, and the bath has a washing area, while the washbasin is spacious and inside the room.
On the wide counter extending from the washbasin, there’s always the mini Billiken welcoming me.
Next to it, I found original packaged Pine Candy and drip coffee, as well as cleansing and lotion that are all sourced from Osaka. The quality of the amenities is impressive, as expected from OMO7!
The sofa by the window and the larger table also serve as a workspace which is convenient for eating and doing things. There's a power outlet under the sofa, making it ideal for workation! I want to stay a bit longer one day...
At PIKAPIKA NIGHT, I was delighted to be served Takoyaki and craft beer! Apparently, both the Takoyaki and craft beer change daily or weekly, so it's exciting to enjoy different shops' offerings every time. For those who can't drink alcohol, they served a sweet watermelon juice, uniquely Osaka! I had fun watching the "PIKAPIKA Fireworks" that used the hotel’s outer wall, as well as making sparklers limited to summer, creating lovely memories for the night.
Experiences during the trip
Participated in the year-round activity starting from 5 PM, the "Super Kushi Katsu Tour".
A delicious tour exploring Kushi Katsu shops around Tsutenkaku, just a walk from the hotel!
It was a lot of fun, enjoying local stories and sampling the specialties of each shop.
In addition to the tour guide fee of ¥1,000, food and drink costs are on each individual.
Each shop had special set menus available only for the tour, making it easy to hop from one Kushi Katsu place to another.
If you're interested, I definitely recommend participating. I also want to join again next time!
I also used the hot spring in the morning.
Exclusive for guests, this is also available for a fee of ¥1,000.
You can move around in the provided outside slippers and OMO yukata! The yukata is so cute!
It felt great to relax in the bathtub with sunlight streaming through the skylight! There's also the nice service of ice cream after the bath from 551.
