Experience of the stay
I used this hotel to participate in the Kobe Marathon. Unfortunately, hotels around Kobe were either fully booked or at unbelievable prices during the marathon. Therefore, I opted for the Best Western in Tsukamoto, which has excellent access to both Osaka and Kobe. Tsukamoto is just one station away from Osaka via the JR Kobe Line, and you can reach Kobe without changing trains, making it an excellent hotel location. If you can't find accommodation in Osaka, this hotel is a great choice as well.
Being part of the world chain Best Western, it guarantees a safe and secure quality. The rooms are simple and equipped with amenities. The lobby has tea and coffee available 24/7, so you won't have any trouble finding drinks.
Experiences during the trip
○ Curry Nando Spoon
Nearby, there is a curry shop called "Curry Nando Spoon" and its Ton-Tekikara curry is unbelievably tasty. This is something you must eat.
○ Udon Shrine Kigurikawa
Near Tsukamoto Station, "Udon Shrine Kigurikawa" is a delicious udon restaurant. I tried the keema curry udon, and it was fantastic. I chose tai chikuwa tempura as a topping.
○ Takoyaki Kyoku
There is a takoyaki shop called "Kyoku" in the arcade continuing from the west exit of Tsukamoto Station. Although it was closed on this day, it is a recommended takoyaki shop that prepares its takoyaki carefully on a copper plate, and its konjac texture is delicious.
○ Soy Sauce, Shellfish, Noodles and People and Dreams
At the ramen shop "Soy Sauce, Shellfish, Noodles and People and Dreams" near the west exit of Tsukamoto Station, you can enjoy delicious ramen with a taste of shellfish. The rice dishes were also tasty.
