Experience of the stay
After thoroughly enjoying Osaka Sightseeing, I stayed at 'OMO Kansai Airport by Hoshino Resorts' for an early morning flight. The reason I chose this hotel was its excellent access, just about 5 minutes from Kansai Airport Station by JR or Nankai Electric Railway, and a 1-minute walk from Exit 5 of Rinku Town Station. Not only is it close to the station, but there’s also a convenience store right outside the hotel, making it very convenient for quick shopping.
The hotel design is themed around 'Sky and Clouds', creating an impressive open space. The view from the window offers a spectacular view of Osaka Bay, allowing for a special time that makes you forget everyday life. Additionally, there is a large bath with a semi-outdoor bath and sauna, allowing guests to relax their tired bodies after sightseeing.
Not only can you relax after sightseeing, but you can also prepare well for your flight the next morning, and I was very satisfied with this location and the well-equipped facilities. I definitely want to stay here again the next time I use Kansai Airport.
Experiences during the trip
During my visit to Osaka, I stopped by 'Shirotaya', a famous kushikatsu shop run by the giant eating champion, Giant Shirata, located in Dotonbori, and enjoyed the assortment of kushikatsu. I was so impressed by the taste and dedication that I wanted to introduce the charm of this place.
【Highlights of 'Shirotaya']
The kushikatsu, carefully selected and created by Giant Shirata, who walks around Osaka to eat various kushikatsu, is not only 'cheap and delicious!' but also boasts a tremendous cost-performance ratio with its motto of 'cheap! delicious! large!'. The use of ultra-fine breadcrumbs minimizes oil absorption, creating a crispy, light texture that's so tasty that once you start eating, you can't stop. You won’t feel heavy in your stomach no matter how many you eat, which leads you to order more.
The store is located on the 3rd floor of the Kuidaore Building in the center of Osaka's Namba, making it an excellent location that is easy to stop by during sightseeing. It is recommended not only for locals but also for those enjoying sightseeing in Osaka. The spacious interior is equipped with both counter and table seats, accommodating everything from solo diners to groups. It operates from 11 a.m., making it perfect for a light kushikatsu lunch during the day or enjoying kushikatsu with a drink after work—suitable for any scene.
If you want to enjoy delicious and reasonably priced kushikatsu in Osaka's Namba, head to 'Shirotaya'! Why not stop by casually and savor Osaka's local delicacies?
