The transportation is convenient. There is a direct shuttle bus from Kansai Airport to the hotel (1 hour's drive). Take the JR Kobe Line from Osaka or Shin-Osaka and get to Sumiyoshi Station in 15 minutes. Transfer to the Rokko Line and get off at Rokko Center Station in 9 minutes. It's 1 minute away. hotel. Very suitable for your first day in Japan or the day before returning to your home country. (Attached are airport bus schedules)
There are many restaurants in the hotel, Japanese and Chinese cuisine. There is Teppanyaki and a very authentic French restaurant on the 21st floor. You can choose from fresh fish, Kobe beef or Wagyu beef. It is a bit expensive, but compared to similar domestic restaurants, it is great value for money.
There is a FamilyMart convenience store in the hotel, and there are 2 supermarkets about 10 minutes away to replenish food or daily necessities.
There is bus No. 21 in front of the hotel. It takes 15 minutes to get directly to the city center of Kobe Mita for dining or shopping (Daimaru Department Store, Hankyu, etc.). The station is at the entrance of Hankyu, and the return to the hotel is at the same station.
The hotel has a natural hot spring, which should be of the Arima hot spring type. It may be located on the seaside. The spring water is a bit salty, so you need to rinse it after bathing.
Check-in should be at 3 pm. I arrived at the hotel at noon, prepared to store my luggage and then went out. I asked the front desk and I was able to check in directly! 👍
Check-out is at 12 noon, which is 11 or 10 in most hotels in Japan.
A very good stay experience. I will stay again next time I go to Kansai.
