Hotel Elcient Osaka opened in Sonezaki, Osaka, on August 1, 2020. The hotel is accessible directly from KIX Airport to JR Osaka Station, which is within walking distance. In addition, it has great access to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Wakayama, making it an ideal location for visiting UNESCO World Heritage sites and tourist attractions. The Sonezaki area is famous as a vibrant "gourmet town" that symbolizes Osaka where local foodies come to eat.

There are diverse sightseeing and entertainment places to enjoy the perfect mixture of modern pop culture and ancient spirituality. Experience traditional performing arts such as Ningyo Joruri, Rakugo, Kabuki and Noh.

Upon leaving the hotel, guests will find Tsuyu no Tenjinjya or Ohatsutenjin, a very popular spiritual spot that has a history of over 1,300 years. Tsuyu no Tenjinjya is the stage of "Sonezaki Shinju (Double Suicide of Sonezaki)," a representative pure love story (true story), which has been continuing since the Edo period. Guests can rejuvenate their mind and body at the shrine.

All experiences here will satisfy the senses and keep guests entertained, prompting them to want more.

Kazuya Shintani, General Manager of Hotel Elcient Osaka, commented: "We appreciate healthcare workers, local communities, and governments everywhere who face the difficult challenge of responding to COVID-19, working on the front lines to contain it. We will not be able to open Hotel Elcient Osaka without them. We will remain vigilant on the COVID-19 situation and take appropriate steps. Precautions are in place to ensure a healthy stay for our guests."
