#OverseasHotel #Japan #Osaka HonestReviewofOsakaStarGateHotel✨AlohaWithAnOceanView! I stayed at StarGate Hotel Kansai Airport for one night during my trip to Osaka! It was a perfect hotel for short-term travelers, with a location close to the airport, a fantastic ocean view, and a satisfying breakfast. I'll write a simple but detailed review! 1. Location - Just one stop from the airport! ✈️ One stop from Kansai International Airport to Rinku Town Station! I got there in less than 10 minutes by taking the Airport Railroad. It was a 3-minute walk from the station, so it was easy to move around with my luggage, and there was Aeon Mall and Rinku Premium Outlet nearby, so it was perfect for shopping! 2. Room - The ocean view was really amazing... 🌊 The room I stayed in was a high-rise ocean view room, and as soon as I checked in, I looked out the window and was amazed... The view was really great both during the day and at night. The room was spacious and clean, so I had plenty of room to open my suitcase, and the bathroom was spacious, so it was great for relieving travel fatigue. 3. Breakfast - Variety and taste! 🍽️ Breakfast was buffet style, and both Japanese and Western food were prepared. There was a variety of salads, bread, egg dishes, miso soup, grilled fish, rice, etc. and there were plenty of beverage corners, such as coffee and juice. What I especially liked was that I could enjoy breakfast while looking at the ocean! I was able to start my day refreshed. 4. Overall - Best value for money among accommodations near the airport! ⭐ Summary of advantages ✔️ Close to Kansai Airport ✔️ Great ocean view & night view ✔️ Clean rooms and various breakfasts ✔️ Lots of shopping malls and restaurants nearby I highly recommend this to those who arrive late at night or take an early morning flight, or those who want to take a leisurely day to enjoy Osaka Bay!

Address: Kansai International Airport (KIX), Japan → Osaka City (Bonan, Shinsaibashi) Every time I land at Kansai Airport, the first thing I do is think about how to get back to the city as quickly as possible. This time I live in Shinsaibashi and have compiled the methods I have personally tried for your reference. If you are getting off T2 terminal, first take the free shuttle bus to T1, then follow the instructions to take the tram up to the 2nd floor. If you get off T1 it is simpler, after passing customs turn left, see the convenience store, then take the lift to the 2nd floor and you will see the directions to the city. My goal is Shinsaibashi, the most convenient way is to take the Nankai Electric Railway to Bona (Namba), then change to the subway Midosuji Line a few stops away, the whole process is quite smooth. There are several trains to choose from on the Nanhai Electric Railway: •Nanhai Express Rapit: Beautiful and fast cars, all designated seats, tickets must be purchased separately, no transportation card can be tapped into the gate, price ¥1,490. Suitable for people who have a lot of luggage and want to be more comfortable. • Nankai Airport Express: I chose this one, direct to Namba and no need to change trains, price ¥970, speed and comfort are very balanced, recommended! •Nankai Line Regular: Slower, you have to change trains midway, however it’s ¥970, if you’re not in a hurry. •Airport Bus: Direct to Namba for ¥1,490 without dragging luggage into the station, however, depending on traffic, there is a chance of traffic jams. If you live in Umeda: • You can take the Kanto Express, directly to Osaka Station, without having to change lines, very convenient. • You can also take the Hankyu Airport Bus, directly to Umeda, fare ¥1,800, get off and walk a few minutes to the hotel. Overall, if you want cheap, convenient and fast, Nanhai Airport Express is the best value for money. We were already in the city center when we got off the bus, a few steps to find something to eat, and there was still time to go shopping after check-in, which was perfect! #OsakaTransportation Guide

Dearests! The 2025 Japan Fireworks Festival is going to be amazing! This year's shows are all predicted to be the "largest in history." 🎆 Fireworks Festival Viewing Tips Secure a Spot: It is recommended to arrive 2 hours in advance! Don't believe "you can see it from anywhere!" Popular shows are full by 4pm, and the larger your picnic mat, the easier it is to secure a spot (Japanese people usually use mats that are 1m or larger). Secretly: Many Japanese people go to secure a spot in the morning. 👘 Outfit: You can get a yukata for JPY 300! But your feet will be ruined if you walk in wooden sandals all day... I cleverly brought folding slippers and changed shoes in seconds when taking photos! 🚽 Restroom: Expect to wait in line for at least 1 hour for temporary restrooms! The key is to drink less water... 📸 Photography: Taking photos of fireworks with your phone = a blurry mess! Learn how to set up "long exposure" in advance, or take videos. ❗️ Precautions ✅ Go as Planned on Rainy Days: Unless there is a typhoon or heavy rain, light rain will not affect the show at all! On the contrary, there will be fewer people and a better experience. ✅ Take Your Trash with You: It's so disappointing to see water bottles and mats all over the ground after the show... We must be quality fairies and bring a trash bag with us! ✅ Mosquito Repellent + Cushion: Mosquitoes by the river are super poisonous! Buy "Kincho Mosquito Repellent Stickers" at drugstores, and picnic mats at the 100-yen store for maximum cost performance. 🍡 Night Market Guide Takoyaki, apple candy, and fried noodles are must-eats! But don't wait in line at the stalls... There are fewer people at the stalls 1 hour before the show starts, so buy your food and watch the fireworks, it's so refreshing! It is said that this year's fireworks festival will feature a metaverse collaboration, and you can even use AR to scan the fireworks on-site to receive limited edition souvenirs! This anime fan can't wait!! Hurry up, dears, or you'll have to wait ten years!! 💨💨 (P.S. The specific dates are subject to the official website~ Most shows will not be updated until April, so remember to stay tuned!)

The transformed Osaka Kansai International Airport (Osaka Kansai International Airport) will be grandly opened on March 27, 2025, warmly welcoming friends from all over the world🥳 A few days ago, I received a cordial invitation from Kansai International Airport to attend an internal tour of the newly added area. Let's take a look at the new changes at Kansai International Airport👍 👉🏻In order to welcome the Osaka Kansai Expo and to facilitate the majority of passengers, Kansai International Airport T1 Terminal has been renovated in four phases since 2017. The third phase of the project has been completed and will soon be grandly opened. ✈️The area of ​​the T1 international line building has increased by 25%, the area of ​​the new international line departure area has increased by 60%, and the commercial area is divided into 4 areas with different styles. 🛋️First is the KIX Lounge Premium of about 800 square meters and the KIX Lounge Kansai of about 2,970 square meters in the new international area. 🛬KIX Lounge Kansai is divided into two areas, north and south, based on the theme of "ancient capital" x "city". 🍵South side is a space for calm and relaxation. The evenly distributed patio design presents the characteristic form of the "ancient capital", and the use of metal decorations shows the image of the ancient capital in the Kansai style👘 ☕️The North side is a vibrant and harmonious space. The high ceiling with an urban feel reflects the sun's rays through the mirror panels, and by mapping the characters and furniture, it presents a lively atmosphere like in the city🏙️ The corridor connecting the north and south rest areas is like a clear river flowing from the ancient capital to the urban area. 🛫KIX Lounge Premium is themed after the Kazama Lounge with the wind. It has 143 seats, massage chairs, exclusive bar counter, buffet, ordering and other services. To be honest, the food here is not only exquisite, but also tastes praiseworthy! 🥃 👨‍✈️Next is the immigration inspection area that is of most concern. The international security inspection area has been expanded to approximately 6,300 square meters. There are 18 security inspection machines in operation, which can handle about 6,000 people per hour. The area of ​​the entry-exit inspection area has been expanded to approximately 2,300 square meters, with 38 inspection counters. It will greatly reduce the entry inspection time for foreign travelers. It has really become easier to enter and leave the country. 🛍️Finally, a new duty-free shop has been added to the international arrivals area. You can buy some very popular overseas products here, so don’t forget to check it out. 💁🏻‍♂️Tips: Kansai International Airport Duty Free Shop has already started online ordering services. You can place an order in advance and pick it up at the airport, which is very convenient. You can try it. Please note⚠️This service is currently only available in Terminal 1, so be sure to confirm it! 😊

The day before our last trip back to Hong Kong, we chose to stay one night near the airport outlet, we chose this hotel with a large bath 😍😍 It is a hotel owned by the famous OMO Hotel Group, all the facilities are very new, super recommended!

As the name suggests, this hotel is convenient for those arriving or departing by plane. However, in terms of location, it is not particularly advantageous as there is another airport hotel right next to the Kansai Airport terminal. But if you need to shop, the location of this hotel is unparalleled. Within a few hundred meters around the hotel, there are supermarkets, drugstores, and an outlet mall, which can meet almost any shopping need except for luxury goods. The first floor of the hotel is a lounge area and parking lot, but the parking spaces are not enough to guarantee that all hotel guests can park, which is a major drawback. The second floor is the reception lobby, where check-in is done via self-service machines, although staff are available to assist. The public area on the second floor is very spacious, with a small shopping area and a small supermarket. The most special feature is a dedicated luggage storage area, where each locker and luggage rack in plain view is equipped with a combination lock, making it very convenient. The guest room floors feature a simple and clear color contrast design, with light-colored walls and red door frames. Entering the guest room, there is nothing particularly new or outstanding. Besides the bed and a very small table, there is nothing else. In this triple room, the bed also has to serve as a chair. The window view from the guest room faces other buildings, with the outlet mall and Ferris wheel to the right. The shuttle bus to and from the airport is located at the entrance of the hotel on the first floor. Anyway, I think the price of less than 1300 yuan, including three breakfasts, is worth it.

# OsakaTravel #KansaiAirport #AirportGourmet #diorcafe #CafeTandian I haven’t visited Kansai Airport for many years, and I found that under the operational transformation of ORIX, the soft power of Japan’s tourism has been reflected in a very high-end manner. In addition to the excellent self-service purchase/pickup process for duty-free shopping, it is spacious and has a great shopping mall. Dior Cafe😍 🌟Although the scale is small, it is located next to the Dior store (very easy to shop and buy😅), but you can still feel the texture of luxury goods ~ pure white, delicate, and plaid patterns show the charm and elegance of the brand ~ 🌟I ordered cappuccino with leopard print and felt confused🤣Even the caramel coating of the chocolate roll was the same, but it was still a wonderful experience and you can feel the luxurious atmosphere by spending a small amount of money🤩

#2024TravelReview #KansaiAirport #Shopping #Duty-Free #JapaneseFood #100TravelWays 🛫The largest renovation since the airport opened was finally completed at the end of 2023. The renovation was carried out with the determination to allow passengers to "fully enjoy the beauty of traveling in Japan until the last moment before boarding the plane", and the results were indeed extraordinary and far exceeded my previous expectations! The shopping space is spacious and elegant, and the decoration style is full of Japanese aesthetics! 🛫 The renovated duty-free shop area is currently the largest in Japan! Popular products such as cosmetics, Japanese liquor, and international luxury goods can all be found here. In order to alleviate the needs of many passengers, self-service ordering machines are now provided. After shopping in one stop, you can go shopping and eat and wait for the computer to call your number. It is super convenient! 🛫Speaking of dining, all types of Japanese food are available here, and famous restaurants from big cities are invited to set up outlets here, which can definitely make up for the regret of always missing out on a certain kind of food during the journey! 🛫There are also electrical appliances, animation and other products with Japanese characteristics, which will definitely make tourists return with full loads and linger! I have already planned my next trip. If I need to return home from Kansai Airport, I will definitely reserve plenty of time to shop around!
