Nice and clean hotel in Sannomiya

I had to take a 4:40 am shuttle to Kansai Airport. since the trains were not running i had to book a hotel by the bus station. Apa has always been my pick nice clean and affordable hotels in Japan. This one was right by the Ikuta Jinja. it was quite busy because it was New Year’s day so everyone was going to the Temple to pray for good fortune and health for 2025. it was still very quite and i got nice time lapse of people visiting the temple from one of the windows. Location is great because you are surrounded by restaurants, shops, pubs/bars of Sannomiya.

Good stay

This hotel is right next to a shrine, which is relatively quiet. But you could reach to the main street, and metro/train station within walking distance. Overall, it is a good stay.
