Hotel Kintetsu Universal City

Hotel Kintetsu Universal City is one of the closest hotels to Universal Studios Japan, just across the street from the park entrance. Renovated in 2016, the design blends natural elements with modern aesthetics, with large art light fixtures in the lobby, a cafe, massage room and souvenir shop. The wood-toned rooms feature high-quality bedding and Simmons mattresses. The location is unbeatable, a 1-minute walk from JR Universal City Station, making it a super-efficient base for deep USJ exploration and Osaka Bay itineraries.
