I visited Spa World on my day off, where I could enjoy both a pool and hot springs. It was great that you could use multiple bath towels at Spa World. However, at the Sora no Niwa hot spring facility, having only one towel per person felt a bit lacking. The entrance fee for Spa World is 1500 yen for junior high school students and above, and 1000 yen for 4-year-olds. Unlimited rides on the Kids Slider cost 800 yen (parents can also slide together). The parking lot at Spa World costs 1600 yen for less than 5 hours. After swimming with my child and using up a lot of energy, we got hungry and had some snacks like fried chicken and potatoes. We also went to the dining area on the 3rd floor. We tried the grilled Osaka-style food and a platter of 10 skewers for 1560 yen, which was crispy and delicious. The menu stated that double-dipping the sauce was not allowed, but we could add the sauce ourselves. The sauce was sweet, which my child liked. The pork cutlet rice bowl for 980 yen was rich and tasty. My 4-year-old daughter enjoyed the kitsune udon for 780 yen. It was interesting to spend a relaxing hour and a half in the hot springs. Overall, we had a great time spending half a day at Spa World, experiencing the different world hot springs.

I went into the hot springs and had ramen (^ ^) ● Salt ramen 760 yen. The lard was a bit strong. Spa World - World Hot Springs. Osaka, Naniwa-ku, Ebisuhigashi 3-4-24. Phone: 06-6631-0001.

I enjoyed a soft serve ice cream at the oasis shop on the 3rd floor of Spa World after soaking in the hot springs! There were nearly 10 flavors to choose from! I ordered the Kyoho Grape in a waffle cone for ¥410. The soft serve ice cream comes in various flavors, all priced the same, with a regular cone costing ¥380. I always find myself drawn to soft serve ice cream with Kyoho Grape flavor ♡ The soft serve was full of Kyoho Grape flavor and I was very satisfied! Highly recommended ♡ Thank you for the meal.

On January 25, 2019, I had some business in Osaka and enjoyed a hot pot course at Spa World. I was invited to a banquet by a client, and as expected in the food capital of Japan, the course was delightful starting with fresh and bouncy blowfish sashimi. The facility, which is 20 years old, is popular among foreign visitors for its baths. However, the banquet courses are mainly enjoyed by Japanese groups. The blowfish was sliced just right, allowing for a pleasant texture. The meat was delicate yet had just the right amount of fat, resulting in exquisite flavor. Even the porridge at the end was delicious, likely due to the blowfish broth. I even had fresh fruits to finish, leaving me completely satisfied. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I had a meal at a restaurant that serves omelette rice and pasta. To be honest, the taste exceeded my expectations.

It was Kyushu-style cuisine.

I take pictures when I eat. It has become a habit for me to take photos for reviews, so I felt disappointed that I couldn't bring a camera into the large bath area, which is understandable. I briefly thought about whether it would be okay to bring a camera just for taking photos of food, but I quickly dismissed the idea. So, there are no photos from the bath area. However, at Spa World, you can eat ice cream, shaved ice, and even have light meals and beer inside the baths. Eating ice cream in the bath, it feels like tapping into the forbidden, dark side of a child's heart. I visited in winter, so the breeze coming in from the outdoor bath was cold, but there were proper tables and chairs, and every seat had a foot bath. It's a paradise where you can indulge like in ancient Rome's thermae. If you're a beer lover, I think you would enjoy having a beer while bathing, and another beer after getting out. There are photos of the food after it was served, and I will share those. The curry cutlet and ramen were both slightly spicy, but as expected from the photos, they were delicious. The ice cream with a popping texture was enjoyable. There are also food stalls by the poolside, but my camera is not waterproof, so I couldn't take photos there. In conclusion, while there are occasional food and drinks by the poolside, having ice cream or beer in the bath is quite rare, and that's what makes it special. - Reporter I.A

I was prepared to spend a lot of money eating out, but I had omurice at Spa Kitchen. I ordered the A set (salad and soup) and chose the M size omurice, which turned out to be quite filling. In hindsight, I realized that the S size would have been enough. I had ketchup omurice, while my friend had cream sauce omurice. The presentation and taste were both well-executed, with the rice texture, butter aroma, and fluffy egg all being excellent. The consomme soup in the set also had croutons, fried onions, and parsley, and the salad was fresh and crunchy, not pre-made. The price was definitely worth it! I highly recommend it. The only downside was that the ketchup omurice only had onions as the filling, with no chicken, which was a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, it was delicious.

Visited with my family. The entrance fee on the 17th after Bon Festival was... 1500 yen for adults (12 years and older) and 1000 yen for children (under 12 years old) including access to the pool and hot springs. Even infants are charged 1000 yen... The family total came to 5000 yen for two adults and two children. Our main goal was the pool on the 8th floor. There was a variety of pools, including a kids' pool and a water slide, making it quite enjoyable for an indoor pool. However, it was overcrowded. I aimed for after the Bon Festival, but it seems I was too optimistic. The flowing pool was too packed to enjoy the flow, so we ended up just walking around. There are food corners both indoors and outdoors. I got a beer for 600 yen, which was expensive. I also bought three-meat and green onion yakisoba from a teppanyaki-style outdoor shop for 800 yen, which was also pricey. They didn't have any pre-made, so they had to quickly make a large quantity from scratch. The noodles weren't cooked properly, and the green onions were dry. The staff were all young and were playing club-like music at a loud volume, making it hard to have a conversation. It was too noisy and not suitable for children. We decided to move indoors. I bought American long potato for 600 yen, which was the most satisfying. We played until early evening, took a bath, and the children seemed happy, so I consider it a good day.

An amusement facility with hot springs, pools, fitness gym, and various dining options including a food court. Each restaurant requires an average of over 1,000 yen to eat, so it's best to have some extra money in your wallet.

I was hungry at night, so I went into various shops, but there was a food court-like place where I decided to eat. It was Saturday evening, but there were few people, and the neighboring kushikatsu shop had zero customers. Maybe because there were no price signs, it was difficult to enter... When I looked at the menu, the prices were generally high. The katsu curry was 980 yen. It would be fine if it was filling, but I couldn't bring myself to order it, so I ordered yakisoba instead. It was a bit too oily, so I couldn't eat a lot.

I went to Shin-Imamiya and visited Spa World this time. It was my first time, even though I think it has been around since Festival Gate was built. I did some research beforehand and decided to check it out. The location is about a 3-minute walk east from Shin-Imamiya Station. It's not directly connected, but there is parking available. First, I bought a ticket from the machine. I showed my JAF card and got a 200 yen discount, so I entered for 1,300 yen that day. I was given a wristband, which could be used for all payments inside the facility. I started with the baths, and I was surprised to see so many different baths, all of which were quite clean. There were many people resting in the relaxation area, and I was impressed by how relaxing the facility was. The 8th floor is the pool area. I put on my swimsuit and took the elevator up. Since it was August, there were a lot of people. It's nice that there is a roof, so you can go on hot, rainy, or cold days. However, the facilities seem quite old and not very clean. Well, having baths, a pool, and a relaxing area for 1,300 yen is not bad. After a relaxing time, I headed to the food court on the 3rd floor. You can wear your facility-provided clothes or regular clothes. Payments can be made with the wristband. Outside food and drinks are not allowed here. Even though I researched beforehand, I was still surprised by the prices. A bowl of udon with fried tofu cost 700 yen, and a soft drink was 400 yen. It's almost the same price as a large beer I usually drink. Hmm... I ended up not buying anything and just drank water before leaving. Finally, I settled the payment with the wristband and left. The reason for not allowing outside food and drinks may vary, but with these prices, it's not very convenient, and I think more people might start sneaking in their own food and drinks. For a family, the cost of bathing and dining could easily reach 10,000 yen. It can be quite an expensive leisure activity.

Today I am at Spa World. It's crowded here with lots of tourists. Quite different from the past. Let's start by relaxing in the hot springs before heading to the kushikatsu tour. First, let's charge into Spa World. Paid 1200 yen at the entrance. Today, the 6th floor is for men. I head straight to the sauna. There are both low and high temperatures, but I choose the high temperature. I work up a sweat and then plunge into the cold water. So refreshing! Repeat this a few times. Feeling thirsty now. I order a beer at the rest area on the same floor. Just show my number to pay. Cheers! Ah, so good! A beer after the sauna is the best. Time to relax. Let's head back to the sauna. Gotta come back for drinks later. (No photos as it's a drinking spot in the naked area. (laughs))

[16/01/First Visit] Have you ever been to a restaurant or somewhere and thought, "Huh!? This is not what I expected"? I'll be reviewing such places...and this will be the last one for now! On this day, I visited Spa World for the first time. The bath area was spacious and relaxing, allowing me to enjoy a leisurely time. Let's buy some souvenirs before leaving! The souvenir shop was on the 3rd floor. There were rows of Osaka specialties lined up. Which one should I choose? I'm interested in the Osaka Caramel Pudding Cake, which won the Gold Award at the Monde Selection in 2014 and 2015. I bought it because Monde Selection has always had a noble image and I feel like it must be delicious. What is Monde Selection, you ask? Upon researching, I found out that Monde Selection is a private organization that evaluates the technical standards of food, beverages, cosmetics, diet, and health products. They receive guidance and audits from the Belgian Federal Public Service and award certifications (referred to as awards by the organization). 50% of all products evaluated are from Japan, and 80% of Japanese food products submitted win awards. Wow, Japan is amazing! But other countries might have over 90% win rates (lol). Osaka Caramel Pudding Cake, priced at 650 yen, comes in a pack of 3 small castella cakes. I tried it...It's a bit dry, but the caramel scent is nice. Well, it's just okay. It's not as good as I expected for the price. Oh well, that's how it goes. Thank you for the meal!

I visited a restaurant in Naniwa-ku, Osaka City for the first time on October 4th, 2015. I ordered a "Tapioca Drink Strawberry Tea" using the wristband number for payment. After enjoying a bowl of salt tonkotsu ramen, I felt thirsty and purchased the drink on the 3rd floor. The drink was not too sweet, and I could enjoy the chewy texture of tapioca pearls coming through the thick straw without feeling the usual sticky feeling in my throat. It was delicious.
