A hot spring inn that can be reached within an hour by train from Osaka city

Question

I'm planning to go to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka with my boyfriend. I want to stay at a hot spring inn, so I would like some recommendations for inns that are within an hour's train ride from Osaka city. Since it's been a while since I've been on a trip, I'd like to splurge a little and narrow down my options to a place with a bath that the two of us can share, such as a private open-air bath or a room with an open-air bath.

We recommend Hotel Wakamizu, which is easy to get to in terms of its proximity to Osaka city. It is a popular hotel with many repeat customers, and is within walking distance of Takarazuka Station, so you can do some sightseeing on the way there. Many repeat customers use Hotel Wakamizu on anniversaries and celebrations, which is why it is so appealing. The welcome lounge offers free coffee and tea, making it a great way to take a break after arriving. The hot spring is a spectacular open-air bath overlooking the Takarazuka cityscape below. The large public bath is also quite spacious and has a sense of openness, making it a great environment during the coronavirus pandemic. The food is excellent, with the kaiseki course meal, and the seafood is of a higher quality and exquisite. For those who like Kobe beef, we recommend the kaiseki course meal, which is mainly meat. It goes without saying that the sweetness and tenderness of the wagyu beef is excellent, so you will be very satisfied.

There is also a large bath with natural radium spring water, an open-air bath, and even a sauna, so you can enjoy bathing to your heart's content and relieve the fatigue that has built up over the days.

Momijitate Bettei Azalea is about 35 minutes from Osaka on the JR Takarazuka Line. It is an inn in Takedao Onsen, Hyogo Prefecture. It is a little-known secret hot spring inn, even though it is close to Osaka. There are rooms with open-air baths, so it is recommended for partner. The inn is also proud of its meals, which use plenty of local ingredients from the Kinki region. It is easily accessible from Universal Studios Japan, so you can enjoy a slightly luxurious hot spring trip with your boyfriend.
