Home to nearly nine million and powering an economy that exceeds both Hong Kong's and Thailand's, Osaka packs quite a punch. The confident, stylish city is a shopping hub, with fabulous restaurants and nightlife. It's an ideal base for exploring the Kansai region; Kyoto's World Heritage Sites, Nara's temple and Koya-san's eerie graves are within 90 minutes by train. Top city attractions include the aquarium, Osaka Castle, Universal Studios Japan and the futuristic Floating Garden Observatory.

Drawing on natural spring water, Osaka's Spa World is one of the largest hot spring complexes in the world, featuring themed rooms modeled after spas around the world and a water theme park on the roof.
We visited this place in the evening. There were not many people around. We were asked to remove our shoes & store them in lockers on ground floor with 100 Yen coin. Then we proceeded upstairs to the spa area. Men and women are separated into different floor, and this gets swap every month. When we visited in Oct, women floor was Asian and men were European. The Asian section included different pool renovated according to different Asian themes - Japanese, Bali, etc, both indoor & outdoor, & sauna with salt & massage & facials parlour. I particularly like the Dr Spa sections with various pools with health benefits, eg, improve blood circulation, good for cardiovascular health, improving skins conditions etc. Towels & toiletries items & hair dryers are provided. However, no clothes are allowed in the spa, not even swim wear, there are small towels provided but you can't bring it into the pool. Overall, it's a great experience if you can get over being naked in the spa & I will definitely return if I am in Osaka.

We were recommended this place by our hotel. The baths were really clean, it was 800 JPY per person. You must remember to put your shoes in the locker before you enter the spa and purchase a ticket from the machine. We took our own towels, they provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash. It was immaculately clean with hairdryers, ear buds tissues etc. I loved this place would definitely go back. The taxi driver showed us where to go its on the 8th floor of an entertainment complex.
