Osaka accommodation | A minimalist hotel 10 minutes walk from JR Shin-Osaka Station—Karaksa Hotel Shin-Osaka Tower

#100 Ways to Travel Hotel: Karakura Hotel Shin-Osaka Tower 📍Address: 3-3-24 Miyahara, Yodogawa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 💞Recommended reasons: Travelers who use the Shinkansen or take the Haruka to Kansai Airport the next day should be familiar with JR Shin-Osaka Station. There are several hotels around Shin-Osaka Station. This time I would like to recommend the Karaksa Hotel Shin-Osaka Tower, which is about a 6-minute walk from Osaka Station. It opened in November 2019 and has 24 floors with more than 300 rooms. Most floors have high-rise views. Transportation tips: It is about a 6-minute walk from Exit 4 of JR Shin-Osaka Station. Although the map shows that JR Shin-Osaka Station is not far from the hotel, Shin-Osaka Station is very large. After getting off the Shinkansen (4th floor), go to McDonald's on the 3rd floor. There is an escalator in front of McDonald's. Go down to the 2nd floor and walk straight to Exit 4. Alternatively, get off at Shin-Osaka Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line and walk towards the Hokuto Kaizo Exit to reach Exit 4. Believe me, I got lost at Shin-Osaka Station 800 times. The first floor of the hotel is the group counter. Take the escalator to the second floor to find the main counter. There are several actuarial machines for self-service check-in and check-out. The staff are there to assist, and there are some supplies nearby for guests to use. Basic facilities include washing machines, vending machines, smoking rooms, public microwave ovens, ice machines and currency exchange machines. There is a restaurant on the 3rd floor and a large public bath and sauna on the 4th floor. Today I stayed in a king-size double room on the 12th floor. There is a 220cm wide king-size bed in the approximately 21㎡ room. The wooden floor is very comfortable to walk on barefoot. The shower room, washbasin and toilet are all independent. There is a small table and chair by the window, which is very cute but a bit small. Each room has a set of clean bathrobes, eco-friendly bags and disposable slippers. The entire room cleverly uses embedded design to make the room look spacious. You are not allowed to take photos in the bathing area, but in this urban jungle, it is still very enjoyable to take a bath after a tiring day. There is a mini non-24-hour Lawson on the first floor of the hotel. There are seven restaurants in the building next to the hotel. There is also a 24-hour Lawson on the corner. There are office buildings nearby, so you have to walk a little further if you want to eat. The space, cleanliness and service are all very good, and the most important thing is that it only costs 7,600 yen per night on weekdays. #karakusadinshenghotel #karakusahotel #shin-osakastation #osakasubway #osakametro #osakahotel #osakahotel #osaka #japan #familytravel
