FAQ about properties with onsen in Osaka
A Stronghold of Japanese Culture
At the meeting point of river and sea, huge Osaka combines forward-thinking development and sure-footed tradition. This is symbolised in its temple-like, 16th century castle, guarded by ramparts and enlivened by vibrant spring cherry blossom. Dominating the surrounding skyline is Osaka Business Park, a reminder of the city’s strong role in the Japanese economy.
However, the most striking skyscraper is the Umeda Sky Building - 2 towers connected by a rooftop terrace offering far-reaching views. The nearby Osaka and Umeda train stations are linked by underground shopping centres, while the shops of Shinsaibashi’s America Village appeal to a younger crowd. Dōtonbori’s neon lights promote more shops, as well as restaurants considered the best in Osaka. In a city touted as Japan’s culinary capital, that’s quite an accolade.
The Tsūtenkaku tower overlooks Tennōji Park, home of the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art. Another nearby park houses Shitennō-ji, one of Japan’s oldest Buddhist temples.
The Kyocera Dome Osaka is a shrine of baseball, and more thrills are at waterfront Universal Studios Japan, the country’s 2nd largest theme park. Also by the sea is Kansai International Airport, on its own artificial island.
The capsule hotel was invented in Osaka, and alongside this type of accommodation, Booking.com also offers luxury hotels with pools, cheap hostels and traditional ryokans.

For our 4 days and 3 nights stay in Osaka we were able to go to Universal Studios, Osaka Castle, Umeda Sky Building, Shinsekai, Dotonbori / Shinsaibashi and Namba Yasaka Shrine. All of those places I mentioned have restaurants if you happen to get hungry. Our to go to when we needed a snack was family mart which was everyone. We had to take the train to reach the places I’ve mentioned - it’s cheaper compared to getting a taxi. Osaka is a great place. I would recommend it to those visiting Japan for the first time like my family.lztchuaPhilippines - 10Scored 10
Amazing place.
Amazing place. Lots to see and do but need to venture out of the main part of Osaka if you want to see attractions and have a quieter time . We were there over a weekend and a bank holiday and there were street markets etc which were amazingLorraineUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

So easy to get around Osaka, everyone is so friendly & helpful. No problems getting train/metro tickets at the stations as there is an English page on all the machines where you purchase your train/metro tickets & very easy to use. Favourite places that we visited: Kyoto, Osaka Castle, Shitenno-ji-Temple, Sumiyoshi, Dotonbori canal to name but a few

For a first time visitor to Japan, I am glad I chose Osaka,...
For a first time visitor to Japan, I am glad I chose Osaka, rather than Tokyo. Whilst we did visit Tokyo, it was too large and very busy with an extremely complex underground/railway network. We stayed in two locations during our holiday. The first being appartments designed for short stay tourists. The second was a holiday home which worked out cheaper and was much more spacious. If you are travelling with a family I can highly recommend the second option. Whilst it was not centrally located, the area (Imaichi) was quiet and clearly was not used to tourists in that area (this was a good thing!) There was a more friendly atmosphere - and homely feel about the area. Central Osaka was easier to navigate than Tokyo with fewer underground lines. Wether you wanted to stay in a city envronment or visit more rural areas such as Nara or the northern beaches of Tottori (Higashihama - 100m from the station!) - It could all be done with a cheaper JR Area Pass (rather than the more expensive all Japan JR Rail Pass). Kyoto and Lake Biwa was stunning. With easy access westwards towards Himeji, Fukuyama and Hiroshima, Osaka is a much more all rounded experience of Japan. I would say self catering accommodation is the way to go. The food availalble from convenience stores and the local markets is freshly prepared, restaurant quality and ready to eat. I am amazed if the local population actually properly cook for themselves at all! I could not get over the size of the apples (huge)! Try the strawberry and cream sandwich - go on - do it!StuartUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Osaka has a lot to offer: short day trips to lovely cities (Kyoto, Kobe, Nara), nice sightseeing in walkable distances, huge shopping areas and a lot of activities to book! The botanical garden has a Lightshow you don‘t wanna miss (but of course not always). Tip: go and slide down the tower of Tsutenkaku- I loved it!! (1000 Yen) The metro is easy to use and you could also book (electrical) bike vis Luup (app).SvenjaGermany - 8.0Scored 8.0

A perfect entry point towards the south of Japan and easily accessible to all other destinations in Japan and the Osaka castle and proximity to Kyoto was the logical decision to make Osaka our base upon arrival and departure.

- Avg. price/night: £83.428.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 503 reviewsHotel's location is just across Kuromon Ichiba Market where you can have street food and seafood with fair price and also less than 10 minutes walk from Ebisu bashi suji shopping street all the way through Dotonbori and Shinsai bashi suji shopping street. Nippombashi station is just 100 metres away and can walk through Namba Walk Area shopping underground. Room is quite spacious compared to any hotels in Tokyo with the same price. Overall, i highly recommended this hotel for stay during visiting Osaka especially around Namba and Dotonbori.

I also love that even though the room is small, their bath makes up for it. Our booked roon has a very nice bath tub and I love the hotel’s amenities specially the shampoo, conditioner makes your hair soft and smooth even in a very cold weather and also the body soap, all smell so good and feels relaxing after long tiring day walking around Osaka and other parts of Japan Will definitely come back againMontallanaYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: £131.838.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 1,852 reviewsLocation of the hotel was excellent, right in the middle of Dotonbori. Hotel was very nice, got two rooms, one room was a 3 twin room and the other was a double room. The double room was small for US standards but all web sites said the same about the size of the room. The 3 twin room was fine, bathroom was much bigger. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Osaka. Entrance to Namba station was two blocks away. Plenty of restaurants right outside and walking distance from the hotel.
DanielFamily with young children - Avg. price/night: £87.348.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 2,135 reviewsDotonbori hotel is perfect place to stay you want to access Osaka places, it is also close to Osaka namba station which makes it really good spot if you are heading from KIX airport. Services are amazing and you get free Sake and cup of noodles from 4PM to 9 PM which makes it perfect for chill and relax. You have few amenities such as 7 eleven, Lawson close by so if want to grab anything additional then you are walakable distance. I would recommend this place for any one who wants to stay nearby
Alind TiwariFamily with young children - Avg. price/night: £71.468.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,458 reviewsAmazing location, just a few minutes walk to Nippombashi station and 7-10 minutes walk to Namba station and Dotonburi. Good common area to relax with some drinks. Really good laundry room with 4 washers and dryers for 100 yen each. The room itself seemed slightly bigger than other hotels we looked at (as in we could actually open our luggage on the floor, don't get me wrong it's still Osaka-sized). Staff are super friendly. I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Osaka.ShaunYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: £71.268.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 1,113 reviewsThe hotel was very clean and have enough space for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young children). It's also a strone throw from the nearest station and there's a mall across the street. Osaka castle is within walking distance. The neighbourhood area is quiet and comfortable, but that also means there's nothing much to do at night. Breakfast was simple but good enough. There are Japanese as well as western options available in the buffet line.
Bei88Family with young children - Avg. price/night: £193.428.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 2,307 reviewsThe location cannot be beat. It’s literally a step away from Dotonbori, and very well connected with the rest of Osaka with Namba Station a few minutes walk away. The room was reasonably large for what I booked, and I especially loved the shower which had a very large space, entirely separate from the toilet, with a bath and stand up shower - a first that I’ve seen in Japan where hotel bathrooms can be a little cramped.DuySolo traveler
