Across Japan the Hotel Hokke Club chain of business hotels offers consistently good service, with clean, efficiently run facilities and very reasonable room rates. Hotel Hokke Club Osaka is no exception to this rule. Though situated in a rather seedy part of Umeda’s entertainment area, the hotel itself has top notch amenities including a large public bath on the top floor from which you can enjoy city views as you bathe. The hotel is also convenient for local transportation, and there are many restaurants, shops, and bars in the immediate vicinity.
