They offer a decent breakfast buffet and the lunch and dinner buffet is actually a very good western style spread. The shower was a very nice rain fall style with an extra adjustable shower head and you can opaque the glass walls for privacy if you like. The bed was excellent and the TV was equipped with the usual apps but they do default to the Japanese version of the apps. The location is excellent with easy access to both the Osaka metro and the Keihan line."
