Natural Hot Spring Hotel Livemax PREMIUM Umeda EAST

I booked during the cold season and visited for the first time because I wanted to enjoy the Onsen. The open-air bath is surrounded by high walls, so you don’t really feel like it’s outdoors unless you look up—and it was cold, too. The Onsen warmed me up and left me feeling cozy to the core. I went in three times, and even at its busiest there were only about three people, so I could relax comfortably. It’s close to the station, and I enjoyed the nearby shopping street. It’s convenient for getting anywhere—easy access to Kyoto and Universal Studios Japan—and you can use many different train lines. I usually stay near Shin-Osaka, but next time I’d like to stay around this area instead.

The water leaves your skin silky-smooth and feels wonderful. The downside is that it’s small. The open-air bath can fit two if you squeeze in, but for a relaxing soak there’s only space for one person.\nIt’s a bit far from the Umeda downtown area, but as long as it isn’t raining, it’s not a problem.\nPersonally, I’d like to stay here again.
