Experience of the stay
I won a flight to Osaka through the HafH domestic lottery (an event linked to coin purchases), and that led to my trip to the Kansai region.
It is a bit far from Osaka Station, but there is a direct bus service, which is very convenient. The bus schedule is listed on the hotel website. I used it at night, and it was almost full with many passengers.
Both the interior and the rooms were clean and comfortable, which I appreciated. Another charm is the large public bath. You can stretch your legs and relax, which feels great.
Breakfast is not included in the plan, but I enjoy hotel meals, so I opted for it separately this time. I was happy to find a variety of egg dishes. I chose the classic omelette. It was nice that the staff delivered it freshly cooked to my table when I ordered it.
Experiences during the trip
This time, I visited Kyoto and Osaka.
In Kyoto, I strolled around the places related to 'The Tale of Genji', such as the ruins of Murasaki Shikibu's residence, Nashiki Shrine, and around the Imperial Palace area. It seems that the water from Nashiki Shrine is famous, as many people were coming to fill their containers. There was also a popular cafe serving coffee made with that water.
In Osaka, I visited filming locations for a certain YouTuber, the National Museum of Art, Osaka, Abeno Harukas, and the well-known Hō Shrine, which is famous for its protective amulets that provide foresight.
Nakanoshima, where my hotel is located, has many museums, making it convenient for visitors who want to explore that area.
