Here, everything it’s crucial that you know about Waldorf Astoria Osaka.
Peacock Alley is the beating heart of the hotel, Roosjen says.
Tsukimi, a teppanyaki spot, is the hotel’s signature restaurant.
Guests sit right at the bar and are treated to a study in the precision of grilling meats.
There is also a sushi counter within Tsukimi for those who prefer raw fish to cooked meat.
After dinner, head downstairs to Canes & Tails for a nightcap.
Amenities and Experiences
Upon arrival, every guest is offered personal concierge services via Whatsapp.
The hotel concierge can also organize off-property excursions, like knife-making in Sakai or a traditional tea ceremony experience.
Men’s and women’s changing areas are well-appointed with a sauna, steam room, and hot tub.
These facilities are available for hotel guests to enjoy even without a spa appointment.
