“Riverside Osaka classic with festival views”
Imperial Hotel Osaka is a historic high-end hotel in a prime Yodo River spot — famous as the best place to watch the fireworks festival and Tenjin celebrations, with dignitaries often seen — though one guest regretted missing a fireworks-facing room. Rooms are spacious by Japanese standards and beautiful, the art deco lobby is admired, staff escort guests to their rooms warmly, and a shuttle bus runs to Osaka station for shopping and dining. A Lawson sits opposite and a food street lies fifteen minutes away. Several fine restaurants take bookings inside.
