Experience of the stay
The Via Inn hotel in Hiroshima was also comfortable. I took the escalator from Shinsaibashi Station to the Nikko Hotel to go up to the ground level.
From outside, I used the elevator to the 3rd floor front desk.
There are two separate elevators from the 3rd floor to the guest floors, and you can only go to the designated floor with a card, which is reassuring.
I stayed in a single room. There are plenty of outlets by the bedside and desk. There’s an HDMI port under the TV, so I was able to connect my iPhone with an HDMI adapter to watch videos.
The refrigerator was not powered, so you should turn it on if needed. The bathroom was not very spacious, but since it only had a shower, it wasn’t an issue.
The roomwear in Hiroshima was a t-shirt type, but here it was a waffle shirt dress type.
There are two drum-type washing machines on each of the two floors, which is convenient. Amenities like razors and toothbrushes are available for a fee, while other items can be self-service from the front floor.
The Midosuji Line, which goes to Namba and Shin-Osaka, is very convenient!
Experiences during the trip
On the first day, we started with a bar crawl in the afternoon. The first stop was "Kadoya" near Namba, famous for its pig's feet, and the skewers and fresh raw senmai were very delicious!! The second stop was "Kushi Niwa" near Kuromon. Rather than just kushikatsu, they serve skewers with expertly prepared ingredients. The three-skewer and drink set for 700 yen is an incredible deal. The draft beer was also tasty.下の吉たこでポン酢マヨ。
Although it's made by entertainers, it's delicious. There is a "Wanaka" nearby, so if you haven't been, you should definitely check it out. It's exquisite.
On the second day, we headed to Tsuruhashi, Korea Town. We had lunch at "Mimatsu" for grilled meat. Then dessert at "Gokan" in Kitahama. In the evening, we walked from Nipponbashi to "Tegetege", an izakaya serving exquisite Miyazaki cuisine. The spicy noodles were the best.
On the third day, we experienced making donut toppings at the Duskin Museum in Esaka. The area displaying photos of all Mister Donut stores throughout its history brought back so many nostalgic memories of the stores I used to visit as a child. It's a lot of fun.
