Unfortunately, the layout of the room featured in this video had the window placed at the side of the bed. The space between the bed and the wall was too small and not enough to access the window.

Hi Alain! Thank you for watching my video! Merry christmas! With regards to your feedback, there are machines to make the check-in process more efficient but there are also hotel staff available at the reception to assist you in case you need help. So yeah, from the moment you land at the airport to the time you check-in, I am sure there would be a lot of opportunities to interact with the locals. Enjoy your trip! :)

Hi Alexis! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, both Sotetsu hotels have very good locations. Personally though, I would probably stay again in Sotetsu Fresa Inn Osaka-Namba. Although Grand Fresa Inn is very close to Doton Plaza which you can use for limousine buses to and from Kansai Airport, Sotetsu Fresa Inn is located almost in front of Nankai Namba station which you can also use for the Rapi:t Train to and from Kansai airport. You can also use Namba station to go to other areas of Osaka, and there are 2 malls very near the hotel, Takashimaya and 0101 Namba Marui. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! Have fun in Osaka! :)

Thank you so much for subscribing! I hope you continue to like my videos! 😊

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, from Kansai airport, you can take either the bus or train to reach the Namba area. For the limousine bus, you can take the bus going to Doton Plaza, then walk about 10mins to Acro Capsule Hotel. If you are taking the train, take the Nankai Rapi:t train to Nankai Namba station. Acro Hotel is a 9-min walk from the station. Either way, it would be an easy walk as you would be passing through the shopping streets and Dotonbori. You may want to watch my separate videos on the limousine bus and Nankai Rapi:t train using the following links. ruclips.net/video/BQxSbcG2IIY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/YGmTB0pDAfQ/видео.html I hope I was able to answer your query.

@wheretonext1190 done subscrib... can you do Tokyo - W- Inn- Asakusa.. i am planing to stay there in tokyo

Thank you for subscribing! I will keep that hotel in mind the next time I am in Asakusa, but I am featuring several Asakusa hotels in my future videos so I hope you can also check them out. Thanks again! 😊

Thank you so much for your very kind words! I really appreciate it! 😊

Thank you so much too for watching! 😊

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, no, I did not hear any outside noise from my room. The hotel seems to have good soundproofing so I still had a nice sleep despite being in the middle of Dotonbori. I hope I was able to answer your query.

Thank you for your support! 😊

Thank you so much Shawn! Really appreciate your wonderful feedback! 😊

Thank you so much for your support as always! 😊

Hi Thomas! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, yes, you can pay using cash or IC cards like the welcome suica. Credit card payments are not accepted in this Kabukicho bus stop though. I hope I was able to answer your query. For more useful travel videos, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel in case you haven't. Thanks again for watching! Enjoy your trip! 😊

Hi Clem! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your feedback, yes, the room has a thermostat where you can still control the temperature inside the room but please also note that the hotel can also control the settings especially in winter when they can change the mode to heater. I just recently stayed in another APA Hotel and since it was December, the thermostat indicated that it was in a heater mode already so no matter what adjustments I make, the room still felt quite warm, though tolerable. I hope I was able to address your concern. For more useful travel videos, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel in case you haven't. Thanks again for watching! Enjoy your trip! 😊

@ ahh ok i’m not a fan of a warm room for sleeping. are most hotels like this in japan?

No, not all hotels are like this. The bigger and a bit more expensive hotels would have individual AC controls. Also, please note that for APA hotels, this only happen in winter and towards the end of autumn. If you are visiting during other seasons like spring or summer, the hotel would have AC.

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, the major cities of Japan are well connected with trains and buses. So I suggest staying in hotels near train stations, or at least within a 5-minute walk or so. Also, check your intended itinerary and the places you want to visit. In Tokyo for example, stay in a central area or the area where you would be visiting the most places. Please also note that hotel rates double or even triple during weekends, particulary Sat to Sun rates. I hope I was able to answer your query.

Hi Agalia! No, I actually haven't felt unsafe in any part of Japan. Roppongi is crowded and very well lit even at night so there is really no worry about safety. Japan is generally a very safe country so even if I walk in the red-light district of Kabukicho in Shinjuku, which I actually have done many times alone and as a female, I feel perfectly ok. In any case, having said all that, if you still feel unsafe, I suggest that you just take the usual precautions when you go out, especially if you’re alone. Hope this helps. 😊

Hi, not sure but I think yes, you can. 😊

Hi Linda! Unfortunately, no, this hotel does not have a gym. As far as I know, only the bigger 4 or 5-star hotels would possibly have one, like the Swissotel Nankai Namba. Hope this information helps.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your support as always! 😊

Hi Chris! Thank you for watching my video! And great that you are in Tokyo now as you can catch the ginkgo trees illumination before it closes on Dec1. Please enjoy! For more useful travel videos, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel in case you haven't. Thanks again for watching! Have fun! 😊

Hi Mei! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, no, you don't need to buy your tickets in advance. The Kyo-Train Garaku serves like any other regular commuter train, so you just need to buy a regular ticket from the ticket machines or use your IC card like Suica or Icoca. The only difference is that this train only runs every weekend and holidays. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! Enjoy your day! 😊

Hi Zimt! Thank you so much for watching my video and for giving such wonderful feedback! I really appreciate it! You don't know how happy you made me. As you know, not a lot of people like the kind of videos I make. Most people like the cinematic kind of videos, vlog-style, or those with music or some talking. So reading your very kind words really encouraged me and boosted my morale. Thank you so much again! I hope my other videos can be helpful to you too. Enjoy your day! 😊

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, yes, the airport bus allows 2 pcs of luggage per person. However, as you said, the total weight should not be more than 30kgs. Meaning 2pcs of large luggage weighing maybe 15kgs each, or 1 large luggage weighing 20kgs and a carry-on luggage weighing 10kgs. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! :)

Hi! Thank you so much for watching my video and for giving such positive feedback! I really appreciate it! Yes, I agree with you. This is actually my first stay in a Toyoko Inn and I was really happy! The rate was very reasonable, considering that breakfast was already included. Plus the room was quite spacious compared to other budget hotels I have stayed in. The location of this Namba branch is also great! A gem indeed! For more useful travel videos, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel in case you haven't. Thanks again for watching! Have a great weekend! :)

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, the last limousine bus leaves Kansai airport terminal 2 at 8:12pm and arrives at Namba OCAT at 9:15pm. For your easy reference, below is the link of the timetable. www.kate.co.jp/en/timetable/detail/oc I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! Have a great weekend! :)

Hi! Thank you so much for watching my video and for appreciating my work! With regards to your query, yes, some supermarkets in Japan allow tax-free purchases. Please note though that not all items are eligible. As a rule, tax free items should not be consumed in Japan but brought to your home country. Therefore, items like food that should be consumed at once are not eligible for tax exemption. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! Enjoy your day! :)

Pretty much paying for its prime location I guess. But thank you for watching! I hope you can also consider subscribing in case you haven't! 😊

worth it for its location

@Totally agree with you! Thanks for watching my video! 😊

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, as far as I remember, there is a control panel in the room that you can use to adjust the room temperature. However, please note though that depending on the season, some hotels completely shut off the air conditioning of all their rooms, or turn them into heaters. You can request for small electric fans from the reception if needed. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! Enjoy your trip! :)

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, yes, you can buy your bus tickets from the machine in the morning, as long as it is within the day of your trip. They do not allow buying tickets days or even a day in advance. Please keep in mind though that the seats are on a first-come, first-served basis, and so you still have to fall in line if you have a preference in the seats. Also, there is no time in the bus ticket. So essentially, you can buy the tickets in the morning and use them for any trip within the day. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! :)

@@wheretonext1190 Hi, already subscribed to your channel. So meaning even if I purchased a ticket in the morning for a 4pm trip, there's still a possibility that we missed that bus trip if go to back to the terminal and the queue is long. Thank you

Yes it is a possibility but based on my experience, the passengers are not that many, and there is a sign there asking passengers to be in line at least 15mins before the scheduled trip. Hope this information helps. Thank you for subscribing! 😊

Thank you so much for watching my video Jay! I hope my other videos can help plan your trip as well! :)

Hi Fredrik! Thank you so much for watching my video and for giving such positive feedback! I really appreciate it! For more useful travel videos, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel in case you haven't. Thanks again for watching! Have a great weekend! :)

Hi Armi! Thank you so much for watching my video and for giving such positive feedback! I really appreciate it! With regards to your queries, for the air conditioner, as far as I remember, there is a control panel by the door to control the settings. Please note though, that depending on the season, some hotels shut their air conditioning off or turn them into heaters. Since the room I stayed in has a control panel, I am guessing that you can control your own settings. As for the cafe within the hotel, yes, you can have breakfast there. There are also other breakfast options nearby like Komeda near the Dotonbori Glico sign. I have a separate video on Komeda so you can also check that out. I hope I was able to answer your queries. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! I hope you are having a nice weekend! :)

Hi Teddy! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, you can purchase bus tickets at the ticket machines in the airport, both for OCAT and Doton Plaza. You can choose your destination when buying from the ticket machine. And yes, you can also buy round trip tickets there. Please note though that seats for these buses are first-come, first-served. There are no reserved seats and so even if you buy round trip tickets in advance, you still need to be there early enough if you want a good seat. If you choose to buy separate return tickets, there are bus ticket counters at OCAT. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! I hope you are having a great weekend! :)

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, the cost of dinner would depend on what items you would order. For your easy reference, I checked online and below is the link of their menu. static.pbahotels.com/seda-group/assets/images/hotels/c4442049fc8312069e5afdebe32232625ce6754f.pdf I hope I was able to answer your query.

Hi Sebatas! Thank you so much for watching my video and for giving such positive feedback! I really appreciate it! I am happy to know that my video has helped you decide on which hotel you would stay in. For more useful travel videos, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel in case you haven't.

Hi! Nice to hear from you again! Yes, you are definitely correct! Except of course for capsule hotels and single rooms, couples can pretty much do anything in whichever hotel they choose to stay. By definition though, a love hotel is a type of short-stay hotel which incidentally, according to Wikipedia, originated from Osaka. Which is why when I saw the short-stay rates of this hotel posted by their entrance, I knew it was a love hotel. True enough, the hotel's website itself indicates that they are a couple's hotel. Interestingly though, if not for the sign, I feel like this hotel could pass as a regular themed business hotel.

Hi Richie! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, as mentioned in the video, our rate for this connecting room during our stay was 51,660 yen per night. Room rates vary depending on the type of room, how far in advance you made the booking, the season of your stay (whether peak or lean season) and the day of the week. Weekend rates are usually much higher, double or even triple the normal rate. For indicative rates, you may wish to check agoda.com as in my experience, they offer one of the best rates. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! :)

Hi! Thank you so much for watching my video and for appreciating my work! I am happy to know that you found my video helpful for your upcoming trip. With regards to your query, you can buy single journey tickets at the ticket machines in Osaka-Umeda station. Going back, there are also ticket machines at Kyoto Kawaramachi station. The Kyo-Train Garaku train serves like any regular Hankyu commuter train so a regular single journey ticket is fine. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again for watching! Have fun in Japan! :)

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, for airport limousine buses heading to Shinjuku Station, Shinjuku Express Bus Terminal (Busta Shinjuku) & Shinjuku area hotels, the bus stop in Haneda airport terminal 3 is bus stop no. 3. For limousine buses heading to Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, the bus stop in Haneda airport terminal 3 is bus stop no. 1. For your easy reference, below is the link showing the bus stop information for all destinations. Alternatively, upon arrival at Haneda airport, you can also confirm the bus stop numbers at the bus ticket counter. tokyo-haneda.com/en/access/bus/index.html I hope I was able to answer your query.
