Onsen of Kansai

#JapanTravelSolaniwaOnsen #OsakaTravel #osaka Located on the 2nd floor of Osaka Bay Tower It is very easy to get to from the heart of Umeda or Namba, only 15 minutes. -Take the JR train and get off at Bentencho Station. There is a connecting walkway to the building. You will find it right away. -Take the Subway Metro Chuo Line (green line) and get off at Bentencho Station. Walk into the building that is a connecting walkway and look for the Art Hotel sign. When you find the hotel, walk to the other side and you will find the onsen. The atmosphere in front is magnificent. When you go in, put your shoes in the locker first. When you go in, the staff will explain the price and the important rule is that you must not be a person who has tattoos. Then, you will receive a wristband. When you buy something, use the wristband code to record your spending in the onsen. Let's go choose a beautiful yukata. There are staffs to recommend sizes. There are also sets for boys and girls. After getting the set, walk to the changing room. There are lockers for storing clothes and luggage. After changing clothes, we walked to the common area to explore and take pictures. The concept is Azuchi Momoyama era of ancient Japan. The area is 16,500 square meters. On the 2nd floor, there is a restaurant, a shop selling various products such as snacks, skincare products, sake, foot massage rooms, etc. It is similar to OOEDO ONSEN in Tokyo, but this place just opened. There are not many users yet. There is also a free photo service. This is what I got. If you want a larger picture, you have to pay more. After walking around the 2nd floor and being satisfied, take the elevator to the 5th floor. Exit the elevator on the 5th floor, the onsen for men and women are separated. In the women's room, you will find lockers for storing things. When we enter the onsen room, we will only bring a small towel with us and a wristband. In this room, there is a table for putting on makeup and a hair dryer. If we get out of the onsen, we can get dressed right away. The picture you see is the shared common area. 👌😄 No photography is allowed inside the onsen room.
