Experience of the stay
At Exit 6 of the Osaka Loop Line [Zoo-mae], turn immediately to the left. You’ll see the hotel just to the left after passing under the elevated railway.
I stayed at the [Hotel Mystays Shin-Osaka Conference Center] the night before, so I headed from [Nishi-Nakajima Minami Exit]. It took 19 minutes via the Midosuji Line.
I dropped off my luggage and headed towards Universal Studios Japan. Check-in was okay until 24:00, so I felt relieved!
It’s incredibly convenient that you can deposit your luggage before checking in (it's free for guests).
Since I had a ticket for Universal from 15:00, I relaxed on the lawn at OMO7. With the expo approaching, there were flying cars too. The lobby tables also had chargers, so I could fully charge my devices before heading out to Universal. I was very lucky to stay here on a Saturday in March!
What I love most about OMO7 is that I can let my child roam within sight. They can run around on the lawn or watch the trains, enjoying their freedom.
Since we got home from Universal quite late, we had light snacks in the room. Cup soup is very convenient to respond to the child's sudden 'I'm hungry!'.
Experiences during the trip
We entered Universal Studios with a 15:00 ticket for a private event. We filled our stomachs during Universal Walk.
Is Ootoya a hidden gem? We had a smooth experience with no waiting time.
Ordering was easy via smartphone!
We headed to the gate around 14:00 and stood by the entrance gate after luggage checks. By lining up at the far left, we could see character greetings over the fence, which kept us entertained during the wait.
We saw Minions, Woody, Woodpecker, and Snoopy. The entrance was filled with everyone singing 'Happy Easter'.
There is a free shuttle bus from OMO7 to Universal, but the timing may not be suitable for those aiming for an early start. I'd like to try it if the timing works out.
Since it was an exclusion day for season pass holders at Universal, it felt less crowded. I went there with my elementary school son, and since we had already eaten, we managed to get around efficiently. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to visit Conan as well!!

Bought souvenirs (the private entry ends at 22:00, but all shops in the park close before that)
A staff member was at the front of Toad's Cafe, indicating we could enter, but we didn’t go in. The prospect of entering without a wait is just too attractive…!!!
Our stamina ran out, and we left before the private entry ended, but the hotel was just a quick train ride away, so we returned home and went straight to bed.
We couldn't make it to the Sparkling Night, but it was cost-effective, and I love this hotel. The next day was headed to Osaka Station. The Osaka Expo opening is near, and the newly opened 'Grand Green Osaka' has a grassy area, making it possible to have a picnic with takeout if the weather is good. I will definitely use it again.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
