Experience of the stay
OMO7 Osaka.
It was my first time staying in Osaka, so I visited with excitement. Billiken greets you at the entrance.
The welcome drink is a mixed juice that I had before the walk.
In the evening, food stalls appear! What you can eat here are takoyaki without sauce that you don't see in Kanto and craft beer. Guests can get it for free!!
(You might have to queue a bit during holidays and weekends)
*You can borrow paper lanterns too.
Before the takoyaki, I enjoyed a luxurious dinner at OMO Dining with a course meal. The course called Naniwa Neo Classic combines Osaka's local cuisine with French cuisine, and each creative dish was unique and delicious. My top recommendation was the box sushi, which was served first and last (as a dessert version) and was my favorite dish.
I thought about having breakfast at the dining as well, but since I visited during Golden Week, it was incredibly crowded, so I had it at the cafe!
Experiences during the trip
At OMO7 Osaka, there is a tour that takes place every evening where you can walk around and explore the highlights of the Shinsekai area. I participated in it (reservation required). The photo was taken at a spot where the Tsutenkaku Tower appears to be two towers (lol).
Before checking in, I made a pilgrimage to the Imamiya Ebisu Shrine and detoured to Dotonbori to snap some pictures with the Glico sign (lol).
The next day, after checking out, I moved from OMO7 Osaka to Horikoshi Shrine and Osaka Castle by rental bicycle.
At Horikoshi Shrine, I received a stamp after visiting. I had planned to ascend to the main tower of Osaka Castle if I had time, but due to crowds and lack of time, I just took photos and will save the main tower for another opportunity.
Since it was my first time in Osaka, I definitely wanted to buy Rikuro Ojisan's cheesecake as a souvenir. I heard that you might have to wait quite a while, but I was able to buy it in less than 20 minutes. It was fluffy and delicious!
