LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

5/5 Excellent
"I’m thrilled to share the unforgettable experience my family and I had in Japan! Watching our children embrace the culture, navigate the yen currency, and master the transportation system was incredibly rewarding. There were moments when I got us lost, but our brilliant kids always managed to get us back to our hotel. Their expressions of awe and excitement were priceless—“Wow, Mom, we’re really in Japan!” My husband and I never imagined we would have the courage to embark on a 26-hour flight across the world, but now we are eager to explore more countries. The warmth and respect we received from the locals, combined with the pristine cleanliness of the environment, made our stay exceptional. Our adventures took us to Super Nintendo World, Namba, Dotonbori, Osaka, and many other cities. And let me tell you, 7-Eleven in Japan is a game-changer! We’d grab about 25 meals and snacks for no more than $45 each time—delicious and affordable. We stayed at the lovely Liber Hotel in Osaka, which featured an indoor hot spring that the girls and I enjoyed every single night. It was pure relaxation. Despite a bout of motion sickness, the local pharmacists and doctors were incredibly helpful, recommending effective herbal remedies and providing a unique sightseeing opportunity. Feeling safe was a constant during our trip, even when we roamed the streets late at night. The peace and tranquility were astonishing."
