I stayed at the Kuretake Inn in front of Sakaisuji-Honmachi Station as part of the "Welcome to Osaka Campaign 2021 (with a ticket to Sora Niwa Onsen)". The conditions were to bring proof of residence in Osaka Prefecture, proof of two vaccine shots, and personal identification documents. Upon check-in, I received a can of beer, persimmon seeds as snacks, and mineral water. Although meals were not included in the plan, there was a Happy Hour (18:00-20:00) with free alcohol, soft drinks, curry, and vegetable salad. There was also a beer server with around 20 types of alcohol available for self-service, limited to one drink per person. I enjoyed barley shochu with hot water, salad, and curry. Simple snacks like peanuts and persimmon seeds were also provided, making it unnecessary to eat outside. The next day, I visited Sora Niwa Onsen, and it was great to receive a nearly 3000 yen bathing ticket. I rotated between the sauna, cold water bath, rest area, and hot spring bath to relax. Additionally, there was a 50% off discount on the accommodation fee per person (up to 5000 yen) and a 3000 yen coupon for use at restaurants. By scanning a QR code, I downloaded the regionPAY app and received 3000 yen in Osaka Pay. It was much more convenient than the paper coupons from last year's GOTO campaign. The hotel provided various services that exceeded the actual accommodation cost. I also took advantage of the free breakfast service (6:30-9:30), which had a decent selection of items. Overall, it was a very cost-effective hotel where I could have two meals included in the accommodation fee. The address is 2-2-15 Minamihonmachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka City.
