Osaka Namba Onsen Spa World

Osaka, Japan's third-largest city and the gastronomic capital of the nation, is celebrated for its extraordinary food culture expressed in the concept of kuidaore — to eat until you drop — whose bustling Dotonbori neon district, Kuromon Ichiba market, and legendary takoyaki octopus ball and okonomiyaki pancake traditions have made Osaka the undisputed capital of Japanese street food culture and urban culinary pleasure. Osaka Namba Onsen Spa World draws on sodium and bicarbonate thermal waters from deep geological wells beneath the Osaka plain, offering an extraordinary multi-floor themed bath complex in the heart of the Namba entertainment district where European and Asian bath cultures are recreated in a dramatic theatrical spa setting steps from the Dotonbori neon-lit canal. The Dotonbori entertainment quarter with its famous Glico running man neon sign and canal-side food theatre, the Kuromon Ichiba fresh market, and the Namba Grand Kagetsu comedy theatre celebrating the Osaka manzai comic tradition create one of Japan's most entertainingly immersive urban spa experiences in the neon heart of the nation's food capital.
