Hotels near the station that allow you to reach it without getting wet.

To attend the Osaka-Kansai Expo, I took the Shinkansen to Shin-Osaka Station and stayed overnight nearby. Choosing the right hotel is crucial to making the most of your Expo experience. This time, I stayed at the Art Hotel Osaka Bay Tower near Bentencho Station, and it was a fantastic choice! Here are the recommended points 💡 ① Close to Yumeshima Station, the nearest station to the Expo venue! ▷ Hotel → Bentencho Station: About a 2-minute walk You can access the station via a covered walkway! ▷ Bentencho Station → Yumeshima Station: About 12 minutes on the Osaka Metro Chuo Line No transfers are needed, so even if you're unfamiliar with Osaka, it's stress-free 💮 ② Well-equipped nearby facilities There are plenty of conveniences nearby, including a convenience store (with an eat-in space), multiple restaurants, cafes, fast-food outlets, and a drugstore in the adjacent building area. Restaurants open until 10 PM and cafes starting at 7 AM made it very convenient! ③ Great access from Shin-Osaka Station via Shinkansen ✨️ You can also access the hotel via JR. It's about a 20-minute ride from Shin-Osaka Station. ④ Quick and efficient check-out For those heading to the Expo early in the morning, the hotel offers a quick check-out service for guests without pending payments. You can simply drop your room key into a designated box, like a mailbox, to check out. ⑤ Relaxing rooms The rooms were clean, offered great views, and provided a relaxing environment. I slept soundly without hearing noise from other rooms, ensuring I was in top condition for the Expo! The quiet air conditioning and the option to turn off the refrigerator when not in use contributed to a peaceful sleep, which I greatly appreciated. Additionally, the bathroom facilities were clean and pleasant. This hotel is highly recommended for those visiting the Osaka Expo 💮 🌼 Name: Art Hotel Osaka Bay Tower 📍 Address: 1-2-1 Benten, Minato-ku, Osaka City
