As soon as we arrived in Osaka, we couldn't wait to go to Universal Studios Japan (USJ), so we bought 1.5-day tickets. We had a wonderful 1.5 days at USJ, and maybe next time we'll have to buy two-day tickets!

Why Is Super Nintendo World So Famous?

Profile of Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto

Profile of Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto | From Adafruit Blog

About Mario

Mario was created by game designer Shigeru Miyamoto in the early 1980s. He is a plumber wearing overalls and a red hat.

Meanwhile, this game of "jumping, collecting, and clearing levels" left a deep impression on many people's childhoods. The pixelated backgrounds and colorful blocks were simply captivating.

The immersive experiences are really fun

Inside Super Nintendo World, you can tap on various blocks, question mark boxes, and interactive installations. Meanwhile, you'll see floating platforms, spinning coins, and even moving carnivorous plants!

The core spirit of adventure

Mario's optimistic, courageous, and ever-adventurous spirit perfectly aligns with the American cultural sentiment of "challenging the impossible." His vibrant color scheme—bright reds and blues—creates a playful and carefree visual impact. So it's easy to believe that this is why he's so appealing!

How Many Super Nintendo World Are There?

- There are three at Universal Studios Japan, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Universal Epic Universe.

How to Get into Super Nintendo World Japan?

Now that you've bought your tickets, the very first step is done! Then, you need to figure out how to get to USJ.

Step 1: Getting from the Airport to Your City Center Hotel

Most international flights to Osaka depart from Kansai International Airport (KIX). You can choose from:

  • Train (highly recommended): Take the Nankai Railway to Namba Station. If you're staying in the Umeda area, you can transfer to the JR line.
  • Airport Bus: If you have a lot of luggage, the bus can take you directly to Umeda or some large hotels, but it's not as fast as the train!

Step 2: Getting to Universal Studios Japan (USJ)

No matter where you are in the city center, open a map app (Google Maps is very useful in Japan) and search for "Universal Studios Japan" or "Universal City Station".

  • Take the JR Line to Nishikujo Station.
  • Transfer to the JR Yumesaki Line directly to Universal Studios Japan Station.
  • Upon exiting the station, you'll see a charming pedestrian street.
  • Walk through this iconic shopping area for about 5 minutes, and you'll reach the entrance to Universal Studios Japan.

Step 3: How to "enter" at the entrance

Make sure you have your e-ticket (QR code) first.

  • Show your QR code: Before queuing to enter the park, save the QR code image of your e-ticket to your phone's photo album, or open the ticketing platform and show the QR code. Turn your screen brightness to maximum.
  • Scan the code directly: Simply scan your phone against the scanner. Once you hear a "beep" and the gate opens, you can go in!

RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka, Vignette Collection

9.1/10Great1494 Reviews
Nakanoshima Osaka|1.42km from city center
Highly recommend this hotel for families traveling with children to Osaka. They have a shuttle bus directly to Osaka Station, making shopping a breeze and eliminating the need to plan your transportation. There's also a shuttle to Universal Studios Japan (USJ), which you need to book in advance, just be sure to be on time. For the return trip, you'll need to make your own way back, but the subway is very convenient. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Osaka. Highly, highly recommend!

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Osaka Midosuji

9.3/10Great2095 Reviews
Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.76km from city center
🌟 **Stunning High-Altitude Views, Osaka's Nightscape at Your Fingertips** The biggest selling point of this hotel is undoubtedly its high-rise location! All guest rooms are situated on the 16th floor and above. We were on a high floor, and through the room's enormous windows, the entire cityscape of Osaka unfolded beneath us. At night, the traffic lights on Midosuji Avenue looked like a golden river, and the distant Umeda Sky Building and Namba's high-rises glittered with lights. This feeling of being surrounded by the entire city was truly dreamy; I couldn't stop taking photos. 🚇 **Excellent and Convenient Location** The hotel is located on Osaka's main thoroughfare, Midosuji Avenue. While in a bustling area, it offers a peaceful retreat. Transportation is incredibly convenient; it's just a 3-5 minute walk from Yodoyabashi Station (Exit 13). Whether you're heading to Shin-Osaka for the Shinkansen or going shopping in Umeda or Shinsaibashi, it's only one subway stop away, or even walkable. * **Shopper's Paradise:** Walk or take one subway stop to Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street and Umeda Hankyu Department Store. * **Daily Conveniences:** Downstairs, there's a convenience store (7-Eleven), a drug store, and many local ramen shops and izakayas, so late-night dining is never a problem. 🛏️ **High-Quality Accommodation Facilities** The hotel's interior design is a modern, minimalist business style, very chic. The lobby is on the 15th floor, serving as both a reception area and a sky lounge with expansive views. * **Room Amenities:** For its class in Japan, this hotel offers surprisingly spacious rooms. There's plenty of space to open up suitcases. The attention to detail is excellent; in addition to standard toiletries, they even thoughtfully provide a hair straightener/curler, which is a lifesaver for women! The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the shower pressure is strong enough to wash away a day's fatigue. * **Executive Lounge:** If your budget allows, I highly recommend booking an executive floor room. The private lounge on the top floor offers unparalleled views. The afternoon tea desserts and happy hour cocktails are of high quality. Watching the sunset here while waiting for the night view creates an incredibly atmospheric experience.

Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka

9.2/10Great3414 Reviews
Umeda Osaka|1.34km from city center
Due to my itinerary, this was my second stay during this trip. The staff were extremely friendly, and their English was quite good. I'm a bit puzzled though – with self-service check-in and check-out available, why are there still so many staff members? Overall, I would still recommend this hotel to others because the location is incredibly convenient and the price is very reasonable.

Swissotel Nankai Osaka

9.1/10Great1856 Reviews
Shinsaibashi/Namba/Yotsubashi Osaka|3.29km from city center
When we visit Osaka, we often choose the Swissôtel Nankai. It's a bit pricey, but you're paying for unparalleled convenience – everything from transport to shopping and dining is right at your doorstep. The front desk staff arranged for a room with an amazing view. The floor attendants were attentive and thoughtful. When it rained, the bell staff didn't hesitate to lend us an umbrella. The Teppanyaki restaurant on the 10th floor was absolutely fantastic. The only minor downside was that the shower water pressure was low and it wasn't hot enough; I think it might need some maintenance. Despite that, it will likely still be our top choice for our next trip to Osaka. We hope it continues to improve!

Citadines Namba Osaka

9.4/10Amazing1724 Reviews
Shinsaibashi/Namba/Yotsubashi Osaka|3.53km from city center
This hotel has a sustainability concept, means no water bottles or change bedsheets daily. My family is lucky to stay at the 5th floor where there’s easy access to washing machine and water dispenser. The cleanliness of the bedroom: the bed a bit dusty, making my legs itchy. Toilet is small typical Japanese bathrooms. Luggage delivery wise, u need to scan a qrcode and do it ourselves and later pass to the front desk before 10am. Staff service is professional, speak short and sweet. Location wise is quite convenient. Walking distance to kuromon market and 10min walk to shinsaibashi from namba. From namba station to hotel, there’s a long walk so families with old members need to find a cab. Easy to get a cab or uber since hotel is located roadside. For a 4-star hotel with expensive room price, there’s many “self-service” and hygiene issues I don’t think is worth it.

This hotel offers a truly great overall experience. The room was clean and tidy, with excellent hygiene, making for a very comfortable stay. The hotel environment is also very pleasant, with a comfortable atmosphere – not noisy at all, which allowed for a great rest. The staff were very enthusiastic, always ready to answer questions, and responded quickly. Both check-in and check-out were smooth. The breakfast had a wide variety, including a live noodle station and many local specialties, and everything tasted great. I stayed for several nights and had a very good overall experience. It's definitely worth recommending!

Hotel Nikko Osaka

9.4/10Amazing4579 Reviews
America Mura Osaka|2.22km from city center
Although Hotel Nikko is an older establishment, it's incredibly well-maintained. **Facilities:** Excellent! The shower, toilet, refrigerator, and kettle are all high-quality and fully equipped. **Cleanliness:** I felt completely at ease and comfortable using everything. **Location:** Situated right in the heart of Shinsaibashi, with direct access to Shinsaibashi Station from the basement, making it super convenient for exploring the area. Plus, getting to the airport is a breeze: just a leisurely stroll through the Shinsaibashi shopping street to Namba Station, then take the Nankai Express directly to Kansai Airport. Couldn't be easier! **Service:** Top-notch Japanese service. The hotel provides a comprehensive range of amenities, so you barely need to bring your own, and the brands are quite good. Breakfast offers both Japanese and Western options, both of which are delicious.

Amazing stay for our family at Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel. The room was spotless, spacious and had an incredible city view. We also appreciated having connecting rooms, which made it much easier to look after our 2-year-old child comfortably during the trip. The location was super convenient with direct access to the station and shopping mall. Service from the staff was warm, professional and very helpful throughout our stay. Facilities were excellent and the hotel felt luxurious yet comfortable. Highly recommended for families visiting Osaka! Good for family who rent a car as well as the parking for hotel guest has a flat rate of 3000¥ for multiple entry and exits daily

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The room was incredibly spacious and offered a stunning view of Osaka Castle right from the window. The location was perfect — it was very close to Osaka Castle, making it easy to visit and enjoy a relaxing walk around the area. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the amenities were excellent. Most importantly, the staff were very kind and provided outstanding service throughout our stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Osaka.

Zentis Osaka

9.4/10Amazing988 Reviews
Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.57km from city center
Staying at Zentis Osaka was a truly unique experience, like living inside a work of art. Designer Tara Bernerd masterfully blends the subtlety of Japanese culture, the elegance of old money British style, and Nordic minimalism into every corner of the hotel. Each room has a slightly different design, embodying the hotel's 'Art-in-Residence' concept. From the calligraphy on the walls to the cups you drink from, everything is crafted by Japanese artists, while the furniture is sourced from renowned Nordic designers. Every moment of your stay is spent experiencing and utilizing art, providing a subtle, enriching nourishment for both body and soul, truly reflecting the hotel's name: Zentis. I highly recommend the hotel's breakfast. The Michelin-starred chef has curated a menu that includes Western, Japanese, and vegetarian options, along with a small self-service buffet. The hotel is situated in the most vibrant part of Umeda. Just outside, a row of understated buildings hides many famous Japanese restaurants, most of which require reservations. You'll also find McDonald's and convenience stores just around the corner. It's only a five-minute walk to Central Island Park, and during my visit, the rose garden was in full bloom, which was definitely a bonus. The service throughout my stay was impeccable. 'Make yourself at home' isn't just a slogan here; they truly live up to it.

Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.37km from city center
This is a really great hotel! It's surrounded by convenience stores, restaurants, and two metro stations, yet it's surprisingly quiet, and the soundproofing is excellent. The room was very clean too. I saw online that it was renovated in 2023. We booked a triple room for our family of three, and it was a bit snug, but that's a minor point considering all the good things. We could still open our 28-inch suitcase in the hallway right outside the door. Downstairs, there are even manga comics to read – even though I can't understand Japanese, it's still a nice touch. They even have Kagura Hachi! It’s fantastic. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Osaka.

Shinsaibashi/Namba/Yotsubashi Osaka|2.48km from city center
The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the subway station and consists of two buildings: the main building and an annex. The rooms aren't huge, but they're a good size for hotels in the same price range. They offer 24-hour hot water, coffee, drinks, and a microwave for heating food, which is great. Free luggage storage is also available. There's a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk, so communication was seamless. Breakfast was decent too. The only downside, if I had to pick one, was the constant stream of tour groups. It's also just a 5-minute walk from the main shopping street in Shinsaibashi.

It's a great hotel, location is in the business district so a little bit further from central Osaka (Dotonbori etc) if that's where you'd prefer to be. The onsen is great, as long as you follow the rules it's really relaxing and the amenities are fabulous. Room was great, a really good size for Japanese standards, complete with complimentary waters everyday. It's quite a dark hotel so if that's not your vibe then I wouldn't stay here but we really enjoyed it.

It is conveniently located next to the Universal Studio and also a JR train station. The breakfast was excellent and the hotel is very new and clean with all the modern electrical switches set up in the room. We love the hot bath facility which is big and can accommodate many without feeling crowded. The hotel is a bit far from the shopping districts in Osaka but it offers a quiet and enjoyable stay. There is a big indoor car park which makes it convenient for those who drive. We would stay at Liber Hotel again next time we are in the area.

There's a women's shower on the 4th floor, men's showers on the 6th, and a men's bathhouse and microwave on the 10th. Downstairs, there are convenience stores, pharmacies, and places to eat nearby. The room was super small, but quite clean, and they provided towels and plastic slippers. Because it's close to the train tracks, there's a bit of noise. Plus, there's some noise from motorbikes speeding by. I stayed for 3 days, and there was hardly any noise from other guests.
