- This is a chain hotel in the center of Shinsaibashi. They offer free breakfast in the morning. There are many restaurants nearby so you won't have any problems finding dinner. There is also a convenience store on the first floor, which was convenient. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. Many foreign guests also stayed here. This is a hotel I would like to use again when traveling to Osaka.マチコ's answer (Posted on:2024/7/11)

A recommended hotel for sightseeing in Osaka near the station
- If you are looking for a hotel to stay in Osaka, how about the Comfort Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi? It is close to the station, so it is easy to get around. There is also a convenience store nearby, so it is convenient in many ways. The rooms are clean and there are many free breakfast options. There was also a welcome drink, which was nice. It is located in the downtown area, so it is lively.静's answer (Posted on:2024/7/11)

The perfect hotel for touring Osaka's tourist attractions
- "Comfort Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi" is conveniently located for visiting Universal Studios Japan and tourist attractions such as Dotonbori. The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from Shinsaibashi Station and is easily accessible from multiple stations. In addition, since it has branches all over the country, the quality of service is consistently good and they also offer free breakfast, making it a recommended hotel.asas's answer (Posted on:2024/7/11)

Chain hotel with free breakfast
- It's about 30 minutes by train to USJ, so this hotel is recommended as a base for sightseeing in Osaka. Children up to 6th grade can stay for free if they sleep with their parents. Breakfast is also free, but it is Buffet style and has a wide variety of options, so I was very satisfied. Since it is a chain hotel with branches all over the country, the service is good and you can stay there with peace of mind.浅姫's answer (Posted on:2024/7/11)

A recommended hotel for sightseeing in the heart of Osaka's downtown
- Although it is in the middle of the downtown area, it is convenient to go anywhere, and just walking to the hotel from Namba will make you feel a color scheme and atmosphere that is reminiscent of Southeast Asia, which is irresistible for those who like it. People who live there probably don't notice, but Soemoncho has its own unique culture, so outsiders can feel a deepness that is inaccessible everywhere.SUU's answer (Posted on:2016/2/10)

Play on the machines at Universal Studios Japan and enjoy nature at the Kaiyukan aquarium
- Kaiyukan is one of the world's largest aquariums. The view from the tunnel-shaped tank called the Aqua Gate is Breathtaking view, as it feels like you are walking on the ocean floor. You can enjoy the excitement from the starting tunnel. For lodging, I recommend the Rihga Royal Hotel. The accommodation fee is quite high, but the rooms are spacious and relaxing. It is a little independent guest cottages from Osaka Station, but there is a free shuttle bus from the station, so it is not inconvenient.ユーザー's answer (Posted on:2014/6/ 3)

A hotel in front of the station!
- I often stayed at this hotel for work, and it was very convenient because it was reasonably priced even though it was in front of the station. The rooms were clean and stylish. It's also convenient for taking a leisurely walk in Ryokuchi Park. It's convenient to go anywhere on the Midosuji subway line, so it's good. It's about 40 minutes by train to USJ.ユーザー's answer (Posted on:2014/6/ 3)

The hotel is adjacent to a department store and has convenient transportation.
- This hotel is adjacent to Kintetsu Uehonmachi, so it's convenient for dining and shopping. What's more, it's above Uehonmachi on the Kintetsu train line, so you can take the express train to Nara or Kyoto. Kintetsu is also connected to Hanshin, so it's a direct line to Kobe and Koshien. It's also easy to get to Universal Studios Japan. The hotel has a high-class feel, but the price is cheaper than in the Umeda area, which is nice.MIEちゃん's answer (Posted on:2014/6/ 3)

Convenient for anywhere you go
- It is very convenient, directly connected to Osaka Station and the Umeda subway. The facilities and interior are spacious and clean. The breakfast Buffet was also delicious. A recommended spot is the standard, but how about the Kaiyukan Aquarium, which is close to USJ? There are many spots around Kaiyukan that both children and adults can enjoy. It is about a 25-minute train ride from USJ.ユーザー's answer (Posted on:2014/6/ 3)

It's close to Tennoji Zoo, offers a relaxing stay, and is reasonably priced.
- If you come to Osaka, I recommend Tennoji Zoo. Kaiyukan is good, but it's crowded and expensive. In comparison, Tennoji Zoo is surprisingly cheap and still enjoyable. It's especially recommended if you have small children. If you save money and visit the observation deck of Abeno Harukas and conquer Tsutenkaku, you can say you've enjoyed Osaka to the fullest. This hotel is recommended as a base for doing so. The marionettes at Harukas are good, but very expensive. If you want to keep your accommodation costs down, I recommend Miyako City Osaka Tennoji, which is close to Tennoji Station.YAN's answer (Posted on:2016/1/22)

Get excited at the official USJ hotel
- I live in the Kanto region, but I go to Osaka twice a year. I have small children at home, and I think they will enjoy the Osaka Aquarium and the Kids Plaza. "ATC Asobi Mare" was also fun and reasonably priced. As for hotels, the official USJ hotels tend to get kids excited, and shopping at Universal City is also fun.あぐちん's answer (Posted on:2016/1/ 6)

After having a great time at USJ, you can take a relaxing bath!
- My family went to Universal Studios Japan in mid-August. On the first day, we played at Universal Studios Japan from opening time until closing time. At night, we stayed at Hotel Monterey La Soeur Osaka in the Osaka Castle area. The building is new and has a large public bath, so I think your children can take a long bath and sleep soundly at night. There is also an open-air bath, so bathing while watching the night view of Osaka is the best. On the second day, we went to Kaiyukan Aquarium. It is impressive to see the whale sharks swimming in the large aquarium. It is well managed and there are many sea creatures, so I think it is very enjoyable. There are also places where you can touch the fish. Also, if you are okay with heights, I recommend riding the Ferris wheel. You can see Osaka city, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, and Awaji Island, which is very beautiful. Another popular place with children was the Instant Ramen Museum in Ikeda City. You can make your own original cup ramen. You buy a cup, draw your favorite picture on the cup, and choose your favorite soup and ingredients. Even if you don't eat it yourself, it makes a great souvenir. Admission was free. I hope you have a great trip!ユーザー's answer (Posted on:2014/6/ 3)

A fun official USJ hotel
- As it is an official hotel of Universal Studios Japan, it is located very close to the hotel and has many fun attractions. The nearby Tempozan Harbor Village has the world's largest aquarium, Kaiyukan, and the large shopping center, Tempozan Marketplace, so the whole family can enjoy it.コチ's answer (Posted on:2014/6/ 3)

Near Universal Studios Japan, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, and Osaka Castle
- If you're planning on visiting USJ, then the official hotel is perfectly located. USJ is right in front of you. There is also a shopping center and restaurant area at the foot of the hotel, and the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is across the street, so you can stroll around and dine freely. The Chuo subway line is the closest line, so if you take it, you can get to Morinomiya Station, which overlooks Osaka Castle, without having to transfer.大阪大好きっ子's answer (Posted on:2016/3/16)

USJに行くということなので、「ホテル近鉄ユニバーサル・シティ」はどうでしょうか。USJまで徒歩1分の近さです。他にも大阪での観光スポットはあべのハルカスの展望台はどうでしょう。ホテルからは電車で約25分くらいのところにあります。近くに通天閣もあるので両方の展望台から景色をお楽しみください。4歳のお子様も喜ぶのではないでしょうか。あとは天王寺動物園もあって家族みんな楽しめます。

Combine it with KidZania Koshien
- A 4-year-old is in the youngest class at kindergarten. I think that each child has different interests, but there are quite a lot of people who go to both Kidzania Koshien, which is located on the Koshien side, and USJ. It's definitely a good idea for a 5-year-old, but it may be too early for a 4-year-old. If you combine it with Kidzania, this hotel is recommended in terms of train transfers, as it is convenient to both the Hanshin or JR Koshien Station and the USJ Station.とろとろ's answer (Posted on:2016/2/21)

How about a Balinese resort?
- After visiting USJ, why not stay at a Balinese-style resort hotel? It's located in Tennoji. It's a little independent guest cottages from USJ, but if you use Tennoji as your base, you can easily access anywhere by subway. If you want to have fun with your children, I recommend Kaiyukan. The surrounding fashion buildings, including the Harukas, are sophisticated around Tennoji, so even just window shopping is fun. Tennoji Zoo is also recommended.りんごの花's answer (Posted on:2016/3/12)
