Hotels with Pool & Resorts in Oji from NZ$118

"If you are visiting Osaka area and want to experience authentic traditional Japanese lodging (ryokan) in an off the beaten path place, this might be the place to go. It's about 40 minutes away on a local train from Namba statiuon (Nakai Koya line). There doesn't seem to be much around the ryokan although we really didn't explore. We stayed in a similar property in Hakone when visiting Tokyo a year ago and it was a well known hot spring town so there were a lot more things to do. We stayed at...

"It was an old building that was okay but not well-maintained. The staff were very helpful, kind, and friendly, despite their limited English. The great bonus was the onsen (hot spring). The room was very big—almost three times the size of other rooms we stayed in during our visit to Japan. However, the location was not good at all, being next to a busy highway and very far from the old town or Nara Park."

"Japanese kitschy. Rooms were nice though and fun for kids. Wasn't clear that the kid activities (

, kids land) incurred costs even for hotel guests."

"The room was spacious for Japan and the staff were incredibly helpful. The hotel was full of amenities like a spa, a convenience store, laundromat and

. It was close to multiple train stations, a few shopping areas and lots of good restaurants. "

"Very quiet, beatiful view on the marina."

"Castle view room was amazing. Beautiful hotel with great shops. Very courteous staff. Very clean and we enjoyed the location."

"Amazing location & views of Osaka Castle. Easy train access. Loved the

, fitness room, breakfast & executive lounge. More comfortable bed than most hotels we've stayed at in Japan... not so hard! I loved having a bathroom door & privacy for both the shower & the toilet. I would highly recommend. "

"This is my first time to Nara. This is my favorite hotel I have stayed at this year. The hotel staff are very friendly and kind. If we arrive early, they will give me a room in advance. It is also good to use the swimming

. The key point is next time I will still stay in this hotel when I come here."
