[Latest 2023] Introducing recommended hotels in Namba and Shinsaibashi for inbound travelers from an access perspective [Economy edition]

Now that the coronavirus has been lowered to Category 5, we are seeing more and more people dragging suitcases in the Namba/Shinsaibashi area.
This time, we will introduce recommended hotels in Shinsaibashi from the perspective of a local resident.

I would like to introduce the characteristics of each block and the points of the routes from a local perspective, which I can understand only because I live there regularly.

A deep dive into hotels in Namba and Shinsaibashi from an access point of view

Since this hotel will be your base, you want to make sure that the rest of your trip goes smoothly.

Osaka Metro’s Midosuji Line and Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line connect Shinsaibashi both vertically and horizontally, and the neighboring stations Namba, Honmachi, and Yotsubashi can be reached within 20 minutes on foot.

It’s a good thing on the map that each station is located within walking distance, but for
example, when you’re shopping and have a suitcase full of luggage, you may have to worry about where the elevators and stairs are because it’s a subway. , even if you are close to the station, it can be very difficult.

You want to find a hotel in a truly convenient location that you can’t tell just by distance on a map!Shinsaibashi station conditions to consider when choosing a hotel

■In the Shinsaibashi area, there are Osaka Metro stations such as Shinsaibashi, Nagahoribashi, Yotsubashi, Namba, and Honmachi within a 1km square area.

■Shinsaibashi Station is a station on the Osaka Metro’s main artery, the Midosuji Line.
Because it is underground, even after getting off the train at the station, you have to walk through Crysta Nagahori and the station concourse to the exit stairs.

■If you are carrying around a suitcase full of luggage, you may want to take the elevator to the ground level, but there are only a limited number of exits near Shinsaibashi Station that have elevators. (Same for coin lockers)

About the characteristics of each region in the Namba/Shinsaibashi area

Shinsaibashi boasts one of the highest numbers of passengers getting on and off any subway in Japan, but looking at its geographical characteristics, it is a thriving area with one of the best economic areas in the country, with Umeda (Osaka Station) about 3 kilometers to the north and Namba about 1 kilometer to the south. It has a city.

Nagahori Dori is one of the city’s major arterial roads that runs from east to west through the city center, but in the past it was a large river called Nagahori River! ! During the Edo period, upstream from Yotsubashi, the intersection with the Nishiyokobori River (reclaimed)From the Osaka City website

Furthermore, when you go above ground, Midosuji runs from north to south, and Nagahori Dori runs from east to west, and place names are categorized according to the direction they face.

・Minamisenba
, Shinmachi, Higashi
-Shinsaibashi, Nishi
-Shinsaibashi

The current scenery of Shinsaibashi is nothing more than what developed after the river was reclaimed. In the old days, each townscape had its own history and characteristics such as wholesalers and mansions. And even now. If you visit each town carefully, you can feel a little bit of history.

Shinsaibashi is the best place to shop based on the image of each area.Esthetics and clinics are also dotted around the Yotsubashi and Nagahoribashi areas.
If you’re looking for stylish shops, look no further than Minamisenba, the youth town of Amerikamura is right near Shinsaibashi Station.

By region, there are many economy hotels in Higashi-Shinsaibashi, Minamisenba, and Shimanouchi.

Hotel prices in Midosuji are often expensive.

The trend of rising prices has continued in the Osaka area in recent years, and many foreign-affiliated hotels have opened in the Honmachi-Namba area along Midosuji, and there are also many star-rated hotels that are considered luxury hotels.

On the other hand, relatively reasonable economy hotels are gradually increasing in the Higashi-Shinsaibashi area, Minamisenba area, and Shimanouchi area, which are several blocks away from Midosuji.

There are also rooms in the Higashi-Shinsaibashi, Minamisenba, and Shimanouchi areas that are known as “minpaku” (airbnb rentals).

About the definition of an economy hotel

The hotel we will introduce this time is called an economy hotel, but we define an economy hotel as a hotel where you can easily travel and stay, and based on the current average annual income of people in their 20s and 30s, PricingWe will define hotels that cost less than 10,000 yen per person on weekdays as “economy hotels.”

■Definition of economy hotel in tiger guide version

• Defined as a hotel where you can easily go to Osaka Minami and stay there.
• Hotels that can be easily and casually booked on the same day
• Basic accommodation fee is less than 10,000 yen per person on weekdays.

will do.

The general definition of an economy hotel is

Economy hotels are hotels that offer low accommodation prices by reducing service and construction costs. Economy is the most value-for-money hotel grade, with compact rooms equipped with the bare minimum of amenities. This is for travelers who don’t care about the view or the bathtub and want to stay cheap.

However, since it is a special trip to Osaka, I
think we all agree that we want to stay as luxuriously as possible at a cheap price, so including the
above-mentioned interpretation, I would like to introduce you to an economy hotel.

I think that so-called business hotels are also a type of economy hotel, but in recent years many of the toilets and baths have been significantly upgraded!
