Experience of the stay
I stayed at 'Hearton Hotel Nishiumeda' booked via HafH! It’s a convenient hotel only a 3-minute walk from Osaka Station and a 2-minute walk from the airport limousine bus stop.
The much-talked-about Osaka Expo is also about a 35-minute ride away! The 12 PM checkout time was another big plus.
【Recommended for Solo Female Travelers】
It was my first solo trip, but the adjacent commercial complex was bright even at night, making it safe for a woman traveling alone! The 24-hour staff at the front desk also provided extra reassurance.
【Room】
I booked a single room through HafH! The room was small but had a bathtub, and for one person, it was perfectly sufficient. The cleanliness was thorough, and I appreciated that.
The view included the high-rise buildings of Osaka Station, tracks, and a beautiful night view of the Ferris wheel! I recommend it to train lovers as well.
The bed was a Simmons bed, a bit firm, and the pajamas were of the one-piece type. Basic amenities were provided in the room, while skincare products could be chosen from the front desk.
【Breakfast】
Breakfast is a buffet available at the hotel’s first-floor restaurant for an additional cost of ¥1,980 per adult. The hours are from 7:00 to 10:00 (with the last entry at 9:30).
I chose to have breakfast at 'Pota Tam' at neighboring KITTE! There are many dining options around the hotel, so you won’t have trouble finding food.
'Hearton Hotel Nishiumeda' was a comfortable hotel close to the station! With excellent access from Osaka Station and the airport bus stop, it is perfect as a base for your travels. I hope this story helps you in your travels. If you liked it, please give a thumbs up!
Experiences during the trip
I booked a two-night stay at 'Hearton Hotel Nishiumeda' through HafH! Since I arrived at night, I chose a hotel close to the station, and it turned out to be a great decision with good airport access.
Actually, it was my first solo trip! I went to the Osaka Expo! I usually stay around Osaka station, but this time I looked for a single room hotel that offered good cost performance, and I chose 'Hearton Hotel Nishiumeda' based on good reviews. As a woman traveling alone, I felt relieved because there were many female guests as well.
The first day of my trip was a Friday. I took a flight after work for a two-night, three-day trip to the expo! I arrived at Herb Osaka around 9 PM via the limousine bus... I was wondering what to do for dinner alone, but right next to the hotel is KITTE, which opened last year, and on the basement floor, there are restaurants and convenience stores, which was convenient.
The second day was the day of the Osaka Expo! Since I had reserved a ticket for the East Gate at 10 AM, I took the train to the venue. The front desk staff explained the directions in detail, so I wasn't lost even without familiarity with the area. There were many solo participants at the expo, so it was fine to walk around alone.
I enjoyed the international pavilions, which gave me a travel vibe. I was able to leisurely visit about 10 pavilions, and it was so much fun! After 6 PM, it became cooler, and the pavilions were less crowded, which allowed me to navigate more efficiently. After leaving the expo, I arrived back at Osaka Station around 9 PM and picked up takeout dinner from KITTE to return to the hotel.
On the third day, I purchased souvenirs and headed home by Shinkansen. At 'Hearton Hotel Nishiumeda', the checkout time is 12 PM, so I was able to leave my luggage and go shopping comfortably! At Daimaru, which is directly connected to Osaka Station, there are plenty of Osaka delicacies that I recommend.
My top pick is the original shichimi spice from Dotonbori Imai! It contains sansho pepper and has a unique flavor. At the nearby Hanshin Department Store, you can also get the limited edition 'Char Siu Bun', which is only available at this location and the main store.
'Hearton Hotel Nishiumeda' is conveniently located near the station, and you can enjoy shopping, so make sure to book through HafH and go there!
