What a cool experience! So many options to choose from and so relaxing for your after days of walking. We went on a mid-week afternoon and it wasn't too crazy busy. One floor for men and one for women. There are also small restaurants on third floor for you to dine at if you spend a long time there. Totally... More

We visited on a public holiday without knowing and was overwhelmed by the crowd. It was certainly my first experience with onsen (hot spring) that involve queues for the shower areas and sitting closely next to a stranger in the pools. Maybe the park ought to consider a smaller limit for entry if any but of course that maybe disappointment... More

I am not into spas and certainly as a foreigner to Japan, the onsen concept seemed very alien to me. However after 7 days moving from Tokyo to Kyoto and then Osaka, I was determined to maximize the Japanese experience and I did. And i sure did! what an authentic Japanese immersion. I spent most of my time at the... More

What a hoot this was! Swimming and waterslides on one level, two more levels of pure onsen-style indulgence -- one for men, one for women. We weren't sure how we'd like the nude bathing experience, but it was very comfortable after the first few moments. Because of the sheer number of people using the facilities, most of them locals, there's... More

I really love spa world. Although the price online says it's over 2000 yen a person, every time I have been in the last 3-4 years it's only been about 1000 yen. In my opinion the European floor is much nicer than the Asian floor, but both are good. I really love this place and I keep going back.

Arrived in Osaka early morning after a road trip from Tokyo without having somewhere to take shower and get refreshed before our flight back home in the evening. So we decided to get "cleaned up" here. Really enjoyed the place til evening, that we almost missed our flight!! Every part of Spa World is interesting and enjoyable. We tried all,... More

I had such an incredible time here, the photo's don't even do it justice. It's so beautiful, I was on the European floor. I felt like I was on a very expensive honeymoon. Couldn't encourage this more! GO, GO GO!

I love this place, it has it all- the spas, the water attractions, the showers, relaxing rooms, massage chairs. Its a great way to spend a relaxing day or half day in Osaka and especially worth it for the weekday prices!

We were both tired and cold on the second night at osaka. So did a last minute decision to hop by the spa world. It was a good decision as the spacious place and hot water enables one to relax the mind and the muscles. We will definitely go back again.

Large swimming and slide area for families and segregated areas for men and women to enjoy the wonderful spa experience. Friendly staff will help you if required. You will be completely naked in the spa area but the Japanese have no hang-ups about this and neither should you. Massage and a cafe are also available. Massage here is done through... More
