Osaka Hotel Guide. Hyatt Hotels in Osaka, Japan

We vacationed in Japan for the first time and we stayed here for the first three days because the hotels in Kyoto were full. The spa was wonderful and the hotel room was quite large and comfortable. The staff were exceptionally helpful. The concierge was able to arrange for a volunteer English speaking guide to take us around Osaka Castle. From the airport we had to wait 1.5 hours for the "shuttle" to the Hyatt (it is really a large bus) - it is not a hotel shuttle, but a public bus. You buy your ticket at the airport. The last bus of the day was at 9 pm and our flight arrived at 7 pm. It took about 40 minutes to get to the Hyatt. The only place for breakfast is the buffet, which was 30 yen per person. The hotel does offer a free shuttle to the Osaka train station, which made it easy to take a train to Kyoto station. We would return to this hotel as we had a very nice experience and it is in an uncrowded area. It is easy to take the subway to the aquarium and to Osaka Castle.
