9 Onsen and Wellness in Osaka, Compared Side by Side

1.Solaniwa Onsen Ticket in Osaka

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4,554 reviews · 2-4 hours · from $14Our pick

Spend two to four hours at Solaniwa Onsen, a hot-spring complex beside Bentencho Station. Choose from public baths, a yukata stroll through the rooftop garden, rest areas and optional stone sauna, meals or private bathing rooms. Tickets start at $14.39, with add-on packages for food, games and fish therapy.

“How disgusting. When I was checking in at the front desk, this app went crazy for some reason. All other pages would open, but my orders page just wouldn't open, so I couldn't view the voucher. I ended up having to verify it using the web version. Unless there's no other way, I'd recommend using some domestic ticketing apps that you're more familiar with in the future.”

“Gerry was great — friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting facts. The castle was beautiful, the garden became our highlight, and we only wished for more time there. We loved having plenty of free time to explore on our own, and the meal was tasty with wonderful views from Mount Rokko. Gerry also took fantastic photos of us from all the perfect spots. If you have a moment, visit the tea room in the garden and enjoy a quiet cup of tea. A smooth, memorable day from start to finish.”
