Experience of the stay
It's located just a short walk from the Higashi Dori shopping street in Umeda and about 3 minutes from Hankyu Department Store.
From the underground shopping area Whity Umeda, you walk towards Izumi Square, and when you exit at M5, the hotel is right in front of you!
It was nice not to worry about getting to the hotel even in the rain.
There is an amenity corner in front of the elevator where you can freely take what you need.
However, razors and hairbrushes are available for a fee.
When I visited, becoming a VIAIN member made these free.
Be careful about check-out time, which is early at 10 AM.
You can use the JR West 'WESTER app' which has a coupon for VIAIN Umeda, and if you show this coupon at the front desk, you can extend your check-out time by one hour until 11 AM. ^^
Experiences during the trip
I had a meeting at 'KITTE Osaka' in the evening, and it took about 10 minutes to walk from the hotel, but I enjoyed looking at the shops along the way, so it was a pleasant arrival.
In the basement of KITTE Osaka, there is a place called 'Umeyoko' where you can enjoy bar hopping.
On the second floor, various antenna shops from across Japan are lined up, where you can buy local souvenirs and even taste local sake.
It was bustling here too.
