I stayed at a hotel in the Tennoji area after the match against Cerezo Osaka. The hot spring bath was quite nice. Of course, I also took a bath the next morning (laughs). The breakfast venue was a business-like corner in front of the hot spring entrance, with a long and narrow layout. In the past, when I stayed at a Super Hotel, they offered local specialties to some extent. But in Osaka, can takoyaki really be a side dish? The main dishes seemed to be fish and nikujaga (meat and potato stew). Other items included tamagoyaki, but overall, the buffet felt a bit lacking. The servers kept calling out for additional dishes, which felt a bit like an izakaya. The miso soup was not in a traditional pot, but rather a machine, which was a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, there was no curry or raw egg, so I had rice with natto and nori. Coffee is important to me at hotels, but here, it was also from a machine like in a family restaurant. Well, it's better to just accept it as a complimentary breakfast.

This is a business hotel located in the Tennoji area of Osaka City. It is a 7-minute walk from Tennoji Station on various train lines, located along the Tanimachi Street. There are two convenience stores within a 1-minute walk from the hotel, making it very convenient. The room desk is designed as an L-shaped counter, making it very user-friendly. On the 1st floor, there is a natural hot spring "Hananoi" where you can relax and heal your work fatigue. A healthy breakfast is provided for free, with a variety of dishes including pork, chicken, fish, salad, egg dishes, and daily changing menus. Takoyaki, a local specialty, is served every day. In addition, there are fermented foods like yogurt and natto, as well as organic vegetable salads. There are 4-5 types of bread available daily, and miso soup and drinks are unlimited from a server. All of this can be enjoyed for free. It's irresistible, isn't it? □□□ LOHAS experience through sight □□□ Since 2014, we have switched to a paperless check-in system using tablet devices. This reduces unnecessary paper usage and shortens customer wait times with a speedy check-in process. Furthermore, the information entered can be saved as digital data, making it a three-fold system that is convenient for everyone.

Super Hotel San, known for its natural hot springs, is located about an 8-minute walk from Tennoji Station. It may feel like a long distance if you have heavy luggage (laughs), but it is a convenient hotel for sightseeing in Osaka. The small space on the first floor before the bath is the breakfast venue. I had high expectations for breakfast because it was fantastic when I stayed at the Nara Station location before, but the selection here was limited due to the small space. They had a special "takoyaki" dish only available at the Tennoji location, which was a nice touch. Coffee and other beverages were served in paper cups, making it convenient to take back to the room. The bath had water pouring into the tub with such force that it created a foamy bath, making it impossible to see the tub itself (laughs). As expected of a hotel that can serve as a base for tourism, it had a diverse international atmosphere.

I stayed at a Super Hotel where breakfast was included for free. When I stayed at a Super Hotel in Chiba before, I really liked the breakfast, so I had high expectations for the breakfast here as well. However, I found out that the content of the breakfast varies depending on the location! In Osaka, they even had takoyaki for breakfast. The bread was delicious, but the eggs, sausages, and daikon radish were not that great, maybe because they were a bit bland or in Kansai style! From now on, I might just stick to rice and natto for breakfast.

I visited Osaka and stayed at my favorite Super Hotel again this time. I arrived late and had to check in by 12 o'clock, so I got a little lost, but they waited for me. Super Hotel is always kind (when I entered, there were already people who had checked in before me coming back, so it was a bit crowded ^^;). This hotel has a hot spring, but it is for men only at midnight and until 8 am in the morning, so women cannot enter if they are late, which is a bit disappointing. Well, the hot spring is like a bonus, so I guess it can't be helped, right? The amenities service for women only, pillow rental (there was only one left...), is the same as other hotels. For breakfast, there was takoyaki as a local specialty. Other than that, the salad and other items are the same as elsewhere. However, the number of drinks in the drink bar is a bit limited. This hotel is said to be an 8-minute walk from Tennoji Station, but because you walk along the road, it felt a bit closer. It's safe even late at night because it's well lit. I had to move to another place the next day, so I couldn't relax much, but I felt that it was a good place to enjoy Osaka, including Tsutenkaku.

-Super Hotel offers a complimentary breakfast buffet for guests staying at the hotel. -Although it is included in the room rate, it is technically not free. It is listed as "free" on paper, so even if you choose not to eat breakfast, you cannot request a refund for that portion of the cost. -Do not take the food provided at breakfast back to your room. -This hotel has a natural hot spring that guests can use for free. -Today's menu: Mini cheese omelette, fried dumplings, fried siu mai, grilled fish, meatballs, sausage, hanpen (fish cake), yakisoba, various types of bread, miso soup, croquettes.

Today is the annual day to watch sumo wrestling. After dropping off my daughter at the nursery in the morning, I head to Osaka where the Osaka tournament is being held. I meet up at 12:00 in Chuo Ward, Konagawa-cho, to buy beer, chu-hi, tea, juice, and snacks. I had called ahead to Tsurutontan to request three orders of anago sushi rolls (1,380 yen each) for takeout. Tsurutontan also had other sushi options like tekka maki, but they only allowed takeout for the anago sushi rolls. After paying 4,140 yen at Tsurutontan, I planned to head to Takashimaya Nihonbashi store, but I had to give up on meeting Matsuo-ka, a store in Nagoya that sells deli and bento boxes. Matsuo-ka is a store in Nagoya with branches in Nagoya Mitsukoshi and Takashimaya, where I occasionally buy deli and bento boxes. They also have a branch in Kintetsu Passé (department store) in Nagoya, so I always buy Matsuo-ka's bento boxes and Chiso-san's tempura when traveling by Shinkansen. Although you can purchase Matsuo-ka's bento boxes at Shinkansen stations and platforms, the variety is limited, and they don't always have my favorite bento, so I prefer to buy them at Kintetsu department store's basement. I ended up writing a lot about Matsuo-ka, even though I didn't actually visit this time. After watching the sumo wrestling, I will continue the tradition of having chanko-nabe at Arata near Fuse Station in Osaka. I won't post about it again since I have already shared about it, but the amount is always overwhelming. I wrote a lot, but this is a prelude to posting about the breakfast at Super Hotel Osaka Tennoji. This time, I will introduce the breakfast at Super Hotel Osaka Tennoji. I made a reservation in advance through Jalan Net for a plan that includes one night with breakfast for 7,400 yen, following last year's stay. There is parking space for four cars behind the hotel, but it costs 1,000 yen per night, and the spaces are narrower than usual. I paid the parking fee at the self-service machine during check-in before entering the room. The room doesn't have keys but a mechanism where you input a 7-digit code to unlock the door. There is a space to take off shoes at the entrance, and you enter the room with tatami flooring. The room is small but clean, with about 6 tatami mats. The bed is firm, and there are pillows ranging from soft and low to firm and high, showing a desire to provide comfort to guests. The TV in the room is larger than those in regular business hotels, which is nice. The bath is a hot spring, but it has a chlorine smell due to circulation filtration. I just realized that I have already reviewed Super Hotel Osaka Tennoji before. I reread the previous review and noticed that the Toshiba small TV has been replaced with a Sharp TV that is 32 inches or larger, showing upgrades in various parts of the room compared to before. Now, onto the breakfast. The variety is limited, and the overall quality is lacking. There was a vegetable salad, macaroni salad, hijiki seaweed with sesame dressing, scrambled eggs, fruit-flavored beef curry, stir-fried komatsuna with minced meat, takoyaki, grilled mackerel, along with yogurt and four types of bread. While the breakfast includes a drink bar, it is not satisfying in terms of variety or quality. The only Osaka-like item is the takoyaki, but the rest is not worth praising, so it's best to consider the breakfast as a complimentary service. Other aspects, especially the room, have been renovated and are much improved, which I appreciate. The total payment, including the parking fee, was 8,400 yen. Thank you for your hospitality.

This time, I would like to post a review about the breakfast at Super Hotel Tennoji in Osaka. Today, I watched sumo in Osaka, ate chanko at a chanko restaurant, and checked into the hotel around 10 pm. First, I would like to post a review of the chanko restaurant, but since it was treated by my senior, I didn't even touch the menu, and I don't know how much the bill was, so I will review the chanko restaurant next time. On March 15, 2016 (Tuesday), after 10 pm, I parked my car in the parking lot behind the hotel and checked in. The parking lot has space for 4 cars, but you need to make a reservation in advance to secure a spot. When you go to the parking lot after making a reservation, your name is clearly marked on the pole, and you are asked to park there. At this hotel, you pay at check-in and receive a receipt. Recently, hotel prices in Osaka have been rising due to the influence of Chinese tourists. This time, the one-night stay with breakfast cost 7,800 yen, which is quite expensive, and the parking fee is an additional 1,000 yen, so the feeling of being expensive is undeniable. After receiving an explanation at the front desk, I entered the room, where a large bed and a slightly small Toshiba TV were placed. Super Hotel Tennoji is the only business hotel in Osaka with a hot spring, and the toilet and bath in the room are quite cramped. As for the large communal bath, it operates on a male-female rotation system, and the time slots for entry are determined by time. I visited around 11:30 pm, and it was quite crowded, with only 5 showers available to use in order. The alarm clock, which I had not set, rang loudly at 7 am, and while I was in the bath, I had to come to turn it off with my wet body, which was a mishap. I have stayed at accommodations all over the country, but I have never experienced such a thing before. The hotel walls are already thin, and the sound leaks through, so there is a need to reconsider soundproofing. I left the room at 7:22 am and headed to the breakfast venue. The breakfast venue is located in front of the front desk and has seating for about 35 people. The variety of dishes was the least in recent years, with a small selection of Japanese and Western dishes, including dried daikon radish, grilled salted salmon, sausages, takoyaki, rolled omelette, natto, furikake, seasoned seaweed, salad, and 5 types of bread, rice and miso soup, and pickles. Despite this, the breakfast venue was almost full, with guests flocking in one after another. As for the taste, the dried daikon radish and simmered dish similar to Chikuzen-ni have a good taste and texture, but the rolled omelette is terrible. It's neither flavorful nor sweet... quite mediocre. The sausages were made with relatively good ingredients, so I wanted to eat them sandwiched between butter rolls with eggs and ketchup. Two good points about the breakfast here are that there is a drink bar with a variety of drinks and that there is an employee stationed at the breakfast venue who constantly adds more food and says, "Please help yourself." I was impressed by this. However, overall, the cost performance is still poor, and with the alarm clock incident, I did not have a good impression. Thank you for your hospitality.

I used it for breakfast when staying at the hotel. It opened promptly at 6:30. It was a light buffet, but I was satisfied with the variety of 7 side dishes. However, I was a little disappointed that there was no takoyaki. No meal tickets were required.
