Experience of the stay
I wanted to meet the polar bear Hou-chan at Tennoji Zoo, so I chose this new hotel that's conveniently located just a three-minute walk from the zoo entrance and two minutes from the zoo itself.
The room and unit bath felt compact, but I could see the Tsutenkaku Tower from the window, and the afternoon snack service was great. The main appeal is its convenient access to everywhere. Although it is possible to walk to Dotonbori, it’s only a five-minute metro ride.
On the first day, I went to the Osaka Aquarium, checked into the hotel, rested for a bit, and then headed to Dotonbori. It was really easy to go around,
The next morning, I stored my luggage at the hotel early in the day, and I was very satisfied with the hotel’s location, having met many lively animals at Tennoji Zoo.
Also, as someone from Kanto, I was shocked to see a shateki (shooting range) operating as a regular store in the nearby shopping district. (laughs)
If you want to soak in a bath, there’s a large bathing facility called Spa World within walking distance.
Experiences during the trip
A two-day, one-night trip from Kanto. My goal was to meet the whale shark at the Osaka Aquarium and to see the polar bear, Hou-chan, at Tennoji Zoo. Both missions accomplished.
At night, I enjoyed kansu udon and takoyaki in Dotonbori, making for a satisfying trip. The influx of foreign tourists was remarkable, to say the least.
