Workation for adults in Kitahama, Osaka
When you think of Osaka, what comes to mind?
You might imagine a lively atmosphere day and night, with delicious gourmet food and a bustling downtown area full of neon lights. However, if you take a trip that is a little less Osaka-esque and take a “dare” theme, you should be able to experience something completely different than usual. This time I went to workation in Kitahama. Let's enjoy three "dare" in and around The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama.

CHAPTER01
“Dare to” stay awayfrom the center of Osaka
If you're mainly sightseeing, staying in the downtown area around Osaka Station or Namba Station is fine, but if you're working, it's recommended to stay a little longer. The Kitahama area, which is located in the center of Osaka Kita, less than 15 minutes by train from Osaka Station and Umeda Station, was once called "Kita no Hama". It's a city where For a long time, it has flourished as a securities and financial district due to the presence of many economic and financial facilities such as the gold market, various wholesalers, and money changers.
However, the town has changed in the last 10 years, and fashionable cafes and restaurants have opened one after another along the river. Popular as a retro and stylish town, it is a popular spot where people gather in search of a calm and mature atmosphere.
However, the town has changed in the last 10 years, and fashionable cafes and restaurants have opened one after another along the river. Popular as a retro and stylish town, it is a popular spot where people gather in search of a calm and mature atmosphere.
This time, we visited The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama, which is located in such a hot spot. Bustling Osaka is fine, but this is the perfect place for those who want to relax and enjoy their workation.
The hotel is conveniently located next to the exit of Kitahama Station, and access to the hotel is stress-free. Check in and drop off your luggage in your room. The colorful and stylish guest rooms are pop and playful. No matter where you cut it, it will be a picture no matter where you cut it, such as the cushions and wall objects that imaged the lion statue of Naniwa Bridge. Although it is compact, it is comfortable with a work desk, Coffee table, and a bed that looks comfortable.
In addition to the space and Facility, what you want to pay attention to is Amenities. Beauty Amenities such as Faicial Mask and skin care sets are also available. Goods that are indispensable for relaxing in the room might be nice as a little reward to soothe yourself after work. As soon as I checked in, I already felt great.
Amenities are self-service from the "CANVAS PICKUP" installed in the lobby lounge, and you only need what you need.
Mugs and Toothbrush holders are available in the room.
Another plus is that all rooms are equipped with beauty steamers. Take care when you want to relax after taking a bath or before going to bed. It's nice to have a hotel with attentive service. I can't help but smile.
CHAPTER02
Do not spendworking hours in the room
What I want to focus on when choosing a hotel for workation is whether there is a place where I can concentrate. I had heard rumors that there was a lounge where work could be done, so I was filled with anticipation and went to the "CANVAS LOUNGE" at the back of the front area.
It features over 100 Seating Capacity and a chic and playful interior. In the spacious lounge, there are large table seats, sofa seats, counter seats facing large windows, and even terrace seats, so you can choose according to your usage scene and mood.
It seems that events are held in the lounge every season. Encounters with unfamiliar cultures such as DJ events and workshops are new encounters with yourself. After work, enjoy the night in the lounge. Just imagining such a thing makes me excited.
Also, Coffee, which is indispensable for work, has a slightly different enjoyment. The "Coffee Experience" for hotel guests is a service where you can choose your own coffee beans and drip your favorite blend.
- The lounge Business Hours from 6:30 to 24:00. Guests can spend their time freely during their stay
Coffee beans are from local roasters. You can choose beans from 3 types and change the amount according to your taste.
Enjoying the aroma of freshly ground beans while brewing your own cup is an exceptional taste. It's a little extravagant, and it might be a good way to refresh yourself in between work.
After taking a break with Coffee, you will be in concentration mode at once. There is Wi-Fi and Outlets taps on all tables, so you can work without worrying about the communication environment or charging your PC. Document creation, online meetings, and video editing are all smooth here.
Even during work hours when I tend to stay in my room, I want to freely enjoy the hotel and the city because I have come to a place different from usual. If you dare to spend time outside the room, it may be good to have a different stimulation than usual.
When I was immersed in my work, the city completely turned into a night.
People who enjoy cafes and alcohol gather in the lounge, neon lights are lit, and it is wrapped in an adult mood at once. So much for today's work, let's have a drink.
You can easily switch between ON and OFF in the lounge, so you can casually enjoy alcohol. Enrich work and play. This is the real thrill of working for adults.
There are various alcohol menus such as beer and cocktails, as well as snacks and light meals.
CHAPTER03
"Dare to" remove the royal road andtry sightseeing
Another purpose of workation is "vacation". If it's a big deal, how about enjoying the whole town? It's nice to go to the downtown area of Osaka, but if you're staying in Kitahama, it's a good idea to "dare" to experience Kitahama, which is a little more mature this time.
Kitahama is full of highlights along the Tosabori River, just a few minutes from the hotel. A stylish riverside cafe in a refurbished first floor of a retro office building, a symbolic historic building, and Nakanoshima Park, a place for people to relax. Even if you just walk around aimlessly, you can see a face of Osaka you didn't know.

Drop by the lovely coffee shop & bar "MOUNT" that I found while walking. The aroma of Coffee wafts through the calm interior of the restaurant, and the glass-enclosed terrace seats offer a view of the Tosabori River and the retro buildings.

Take a break with sweets and Coffee while gazing at the gently flowing river in front of you. "I didn't know there was such a refreshing scenery in Osaka," he said, feeling a little happiness at the new discovery.
If you keep walking because you still can't walk enough, you will be immersed in the nostalgia and new charm of Kitahama as if the hands of the clock have stopped. Cross the river with the lion statue on the Naniwa Bridge and head to Nakanoshima Park. The well-maintained promenade and deck along the river create a relaxing atmosphere with both locals and tourists.
Speaking of the symbol of Kitahama, the Osaka City Central Public Hall is also indispensable. The brick building is a reproduction of what was built in the Taisho period in the Neo-Renaissance style. The orange bricks shine brilliantly in the morning and are lit up at night, making it a delight to visit at any time of the day.
Osaka City Central Public Hall. Anyone can tour the facility, and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants in the area.
Try a different way of enjoying yourself in a slightly different place.
Such a “dare” trip will bring out the charm of Osaka that you did not know, and even stimulate your own sensibilities. The tiredness of my legs after a long walk tells me that I had a fulfilling day for work and sightseeing, so I feel fulfilled and somewhat happy.
