Experience of the stay
I stayed at a hotel while visiting the Osaka Expo using Kansai International Airport! There is a bus from Rinku Town Station to the expo venue, making it a super hidden gem for Expo visits!
In conclusion, I was very satisfied with my hotel stay!
⚫︎Access from the station
Just one station from Kansai International Airport by train, almost directly connected to Rinku Town Station! Excellent access.
⚫︎Check-in congestion
The 2nd floor has the check-in counter. Procedures are done via tablet, so it's smooth without waiting.
⚫︎Common areas
On the first floor, there's a free desk perfect for working! This is quite convenient.
⚫︎Room details
It's a simple yet stylishly minimalist space characteristic of Hoshino Resorts.
The bed was comfortable and helped recover from travel fatigue.
*Roomwear (pajamas) is available for rent at a fee (200 yen).
*Water comes from a system where an empty bottle is provided, and you fill it up from the water server in the hallway.
*Amenities like toothbrushes and tea bags can be taken from a system located next to the check-in counter on the 2nd floor.

⚫︎Sauna and large communal bath are the best!
It's amazing that they are available late at night and early morning.
I used it after returning from the expo at midnight and was able to relax my tired body!
⸻
⚫︎Breakfast is worth 1800 yen!
The hotel breakfast is a separate fee, but the content is very substantial!
• Diverse pancake toppings
• Egg Benedict
• Rich options for Japanese cuisine
At 1800 yen for this quality, I was very satisfied.
I got to indulge in a little luxury from the morning♪
⸻
⚫︎Rooftop bar at night! … but it rained this time☔
There is also a rooftop bar with a night view of Kansai Airport.
Unfortunately, I couldn't use it this time due to rain…🥲
I absolutely want to try again next time!
⸻
⚫︎Convenient free limousine bus to the airport!
The most convenient thing during my stay was the free airport shuttle bus.
It's helpful on days with lots of luggage or early morning flights! (One way only)
It takes about 10 minutes from the hotel to the airport, allowing for smooth travel.
Experiences during the trip
⚫︎I went to the Osaka Kansai Expo.
After checking in and dropping my luggage in the room, I arrived with a night ticket!
I took the train since my timing was off, but there is a bus (reservation required, fee-based) from Rinku Town Station to the expo venue, making it very convenient if the timing works out.
● Rinku Outlet
Although I didn't go inside this time, I could see the Rinku Outlet and the Ferris wheel nearby✨✨
