Beer Garden!

I found an awesome beer garden in Osaka.
It's Ramada hotel where is right next to Subway Nakatsu station.

it's all we can drink for 2000yen for 4 hours if you buy advanced tickets!

you can buy advanced tickets at the door at least 1 day before your party.
If you buy a ticket on the day, its 2500yen though.

If you are thirsty, hit that hotel! You will like it!

Puble bath

If you want try something Japanese, I strongly recommend going to public bathes.
Public baths are very popular in Japan.
No need to be hesitate to be naked, ha ha!

A public bath is close to J-hoppers Osaka. The name is" Shoten-yu".
This is the typical Japanese public bath.
Men and women get in there separately and soap bathes with others.
You might feel weird in the begging, but feel comfortable more and more.

"Shoten-Yu" is very friendly for us, because it is clean and reasonable.
Facilities are also okay.

This public bath is a bit old. This make us feel better sometimes.
Fee is 410yen for adult including towel's fee.

Please visit there to know our culture, ha ha :)

Tulip Island Party in Awaji Island!

Thank you very much for coming to Kansai area★
But, why not go to the Awaji Island?!

It's located between Hyogo and Tokushima prefecture.
Small island, but worth to visit, especially in spring!

My favorite place is "Akashi Kaikyo National Government Park"★☆★
It's not just a park, it's a paradise of flowers!
About 600 thousand pieces and 300kinds of flowers bloom by May 29.
Tulips are wonderful, livingstonedaisies are amazing..! ( Picture is above)
Fee : 400yen

Next to this park, there is "The Miracle Planet Museum of plants".
It's also interesting, you can see the art of plants!
Rose festival is held from Apr 23 ( Sat) to May 31 (Tue) there.
Fee: 600yen (Combined ticket for the park is available)

If you have time, I recommend going to Sumoto Spa and see the Naruto straits.

Easy access from Osaka! Please take a high-way bus at Osaka station.
One way is 1200yen ~

I LOVE this island!!!!
Now you wanna go, right? :)





リビングストンデージー

Osaka is SAFE!!

Hey! Are you afraid of traveling Japan?! No, No way!
WE ARE ABSOLUTELY SAFE.

J-hoppers and Hana hostels are located in the safe area.
YOU CAN DO SIGHTSEEING.

Honestly, we are shocked at the damage due to the earthquake and tsunami.
A lot of people lose their houses, friends, families. Unfortunately Nuclear power plants have problems.
However, it is WRONG that radiation expose to us and the whole area is dangerous.
The level of radiation is really low.

ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE SAFE!

Spring season coming soon....
Sakura, or cherry blossom is very beautiful in Spring!

You can watch fireworks at our roof-top in Summer.
Universal Studio Japan is 10th anniversary this year.
Shinkansen, or bullet train is running through Kyushu area now.

Autumn leaves viewing is also recommendable. We have a Christmas and New year party in Winter! Kimono lesson is free here. It starts 15:00~ on every Thursday.

One of our staff, Kyohei speaks Italian and Spanish. Our manager knows pilgrimage very well.
You might run into people who change your life here.
They might be your best friends.

Once again, J-HOPPERS AND HANA HOSTEL ARE SAFE.
YOU CAN DO SIGHTSEEING.
Many non-Japanese stay in Japan.

If you hesitate to visit Japan, please NOT do that!
We help your travel!
