Rainy-Day Access Without an Umbrella

You can reach the hotel from JR Osaka Station’s Umekita Underground Exit via the underground walkway inside the station wicket, without stepping outside. Note that this route passes through the paid area of the station, so you will need a transportation IC card or a valid ticket. This makes the hotel easy to reach in any weather.

Avoid Rush Hour Congestion

The underground mall (Whity Umeda) around Osaka Station becomes extremely crowded during morning rush (8–9 AM) and evening rush (5–7 PM). Taxi queues in front of the hotel also tend to build up during these hours. If you are taking a taxi, plan for extra time.
