We stayed in La’gent Hotel Osaka Bay<\/a> which is very near Universal Studios Japan during my stay in Osaka. It is about half an hour from the heart of Osaka. Many people choose to stay here because it is located very near Universal Studios Japan.<\/p>\n

We choose to stay here simply we wanted to stay away from the city area.\u00a0 Rates are usually higher at the CBD area and if it is within 5 mins walking from the train station.\u00a0 Since we have a rented car, we choose to stay outskirt to enjoy a cheaper rate for the hotel.\u00a0 This is another way to help you save money.<\/p>\n

Let’s find out what they have in this hotel.<\/p>\n

Parking in\u00a0La’gent Hotel Osaka Bay<\/a><\/h3>\n

You can park your car in front of the hotel parking lot.\u00a0 There is a fee to pay, about 1,000 yen for the whole day. We parked our car then\u00a0go to Osaka CBD area by train.\u00a0 There is a train station nearby called JR Sakurajima station, within 5 minutes walking distance.<\/p>\n

There are a few good things about\u00a0La’gent Hotel Osaka Bay<\/a>, one to them as mentioned earlier, it is within walking distance to Universal Studio Japan.\u00a0 Other good points such as the hotel are one of the newest and also one of the cheapest in the Osaka Bay Area.<\/p>\n

You tend to see more students and the\u00a0young family with children staying here.\u00a0 There are groups of Korean students staying here during my stay.<\/p>\n

Front Desk<\/h3>\n

The front desk staffs speak good English so there is no problem to communicate your needs with them.<\/p>\n

Japanese onsen powder<\/h3>\n

This hotel does not have public bath or onsen.\u00a0 However, you are welcome to\u00a0pick up the toiletries\u00a0near the front desk.\u00a0 The red pack is the onsen powder or bath salt. You can choose from the different flavor, the red and the yellow then pour it in your own hotel room bathtub with warm water.<\/p>\n

This tiny packet of onsen powder is believed to help to recover from fatigue, stress and tiredness. It is so popular in Japan household.<\/p>\n

\"La'gent<\/p>\n

Jungle Safari Theme<\/h3>\n

The hotel is themed with jungle so you see animals displayed all over the hotel.\u00a0 Pajamas are also provided and placed on top of the bed.<\/p>\n

\"La'gent<\/p>\n

How to preparing Japanese bath in your hotel room?<\/h3>\n

You can start preparing the water for your onsen bath.\u00a0 The best temperature is 38-40’C.\u00a0 Remember to pour the onsen powder into the water.\u00a0 After you have finished soaking your body, do not rinse off as the ingredient from the onsen powder do wonder to your skin.\u00a0 If you shower again, then all the good\u00a0ingredients of the onsen powder will also be washed away.\u00a0 Remember, don’t rinse with shower, unless you feel irritation on your skin.<\/p>\n

Japanese Advanced Toilet<\/h3>\n

The number one thing I love about Japanese toilet is the heated seat.\u00a0 There are so many features for Japanese toilet and all are done with a finger pressing. Just to name some of them; it helps you clean your backside and bidet. You can also adjust the running water from weak to strong. It also has a dryer.\u00a0 Usually, foreigner took a while to figure out how to play with this gadget.\u00a0 Once you are familiar you will fall in love and hope to bring one home.<\/p>\n

\"La'gent<\/p>\n

The hotel room is charged per head<\/h3>\n

Hotels in Japan are charged by the number of people staying in a room and do not charge by the room. You can have a very big room and still pay for one person price.\u00a0 It is unethical if you book a room for 1 person but stay with an additional person there.\u00a0 Usually, they will find out and ask you to pay for the other person.<\/p>\n

Hotel Breakfast Review<\/h3>\n

My booking of hotel stay has included with morning breakfast.\u00a0 If yours do not come with breakfast, you can go to the next door 7 Eleven to get your breakfast there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The breakfast starts from 6.30 to 9.00 am.\u00a0 Most guests who stayed in this hotel will take their breakfast very early as most will rush to Universal Studio before the door opens<\/p>\n

\"La'gent<\/p>\n

A good spread of Japanese breakfast including some of my favorite here is the Takoyaki.\u00a0 Tasted wonderful with the brown sauce and mayonnaise and bonito flakes at the top.\u00a0 (Takoyaki is a ball-shaped Japanese snack made of wheat flour and inside filled with diced octopus.)\u00a0 You can eat Takoyaki everywhere in Japan now but the origin place is from Osaka.<\/p>\n

\"La'gent \"La'gent \"La'gent<\/p>\n

Japanese dessert<\/h3>\n

These are my favorite Japanese dessert, the coffee jelly, and the\u00a0Abekawa Kinako Mochi.\u00a0 Most people know about mochi but Abekawa Kinako Mochi has got something different, it is super soft and melted in your mouth.\u00a0 You can find this type of mochi in any of the convenient stalls in Japan.<\/p>\n

\"La'gent<\/p>\n

Kids Menu<\/h3>\n

There is a small corner for kids menu which serve fries, pancakes and nuggets.<\/p>\n

\"La'gent<\/p>\n

My Breakfast<\/h3>\n

The typical Japanese tray to pick up all the food.<\/p>\n
