Situated at the heart of the Shin Umeda City, the Westin Osaka is ideally placed to explore. The hotel is decorated in classic European style with unusually large rooms and excellent facilities such as a state of the art fitness centre and restaurants serving Mediterranean, macrobiotic, Cantonese and Japanese cuisine.
After admiring the spectacular views of Osaka from the floating garden, or shopping on Shinsaibashi-suji Street, visit the Japanese Hanano restaurant which offers individual corners for sushi, teppanyaki, tempura and sukiyaki. Sample the traditional fare that has given Osaka its reputation as the 'Nation's Kitchen'.
