Izumisano hotels & places to stay

We only spent one night here but it was fantastic. After almost 16 hours, we arrived after 11pm where check-in was a breeze and staff were friendly. Just what we needed for our first taste of Japan. The location was excellent - just a quick walk from the Main Terminal. Easy to find (as its the only hotel on the island). Beds were comfy, rooms were quiet with brilliant blackout curtains (just what overnight travellers like ourselves needed. Why its very popular with Airline staff too) We had a standard twin room which had 2 comfy double beds which was just what we needed for a good nights sleep (mind you, we were a tad too excited to really sleep as we were in Japan!). Considering how close the hotel is to a busy international airport, you couldnt hear the planes (or trains as was also a Shinkansen nearby) The myth that all Japan hotel rooms are tiny was not true here as room was very big & great value for the money. Staff polite, efficient, helpful. The adjoining Airport is wonderful - lots of places to eat and shop and easy to get around. We would definitely stay here again if we visited lovely Japan

We booked here because the hotel has a shuttle service to the airport. It turned out to be free, very efficient and fast (make a reservation) As in all the hotels in which we stayed in Japan, the staff are welcoming and efficient. Our room on the 10th floor was spacious and as always in our experience in Japan super clean. Directly next to the railway station, Rinku Town, there is a large shopping centre with a food court and 5 or six restaurants. Easily a good place to spend your last night in Japan if you’re flying the next morning.

Nothing to complain, the best capsule hotel i've stayed at in Japan! I booked for one night prior to an early flight and its a nice place that is very quiet, 1min to airport terminal 1 and very convenient since many restaurants and convenient stores are nearby as well. Extremely polite staff and great amenities/facilities. Cleanest capsule hotel ive ever seen. To sum up: a 5-star level capsule hotel!

This quiet hotel was a perfect place to rest after a long flight, our flight came at time when there was no shuttle (but ther are many shuttles) to the hotel so we took the train, the walk fro, the station is not too far maybe 15 minutes? But we did enjoy walking through Japan and seeing all of the traditional Japanese houses. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the onsen was a very appreciated break from the travel and over all we had a wonderful stay! We also enjoyed watching the sun rise from our hotel room

My stay at Star Gate Hotel Kansai Airport was terrific. I was exhausted upon checking in and had no trouble falling asleep in the bed provided. When I awoke, I made myself explore the area for a little- a decision that turned out to be a smashing success by discovering an amazing shopping outlet that shocked me with how long it went on for. Without even seeing the water, you get a sense that you are walking around a trendy beach town community. For dinner and breakfast, I ate at the buffet offered on the top floor and was very impressed both times. The spread they have is professionally-crafted and everything was delicious. The man who made my omelette was this very kind Australian man who took note that I was one of a few Western tourists and we talked for a little about what brought us to Japan. My experience at Star Gate was only positive and it will be where I stay during my next trip to Osaka.

We booked this hotel because we have to catch an early flight going out from Osaka.This was the best option that we could possibly had. The location is good, +/- 200m from Izumisano station and just 1 station away from Rinku Premium Outlet, which is high recommended for hunting branded items with low prices. We were even regretful to go there at the very last day of our visit in Japan. For travelers who has early flight to catch or late night arrival, this is recommended for you. But for travelers who want to explore Osaka downtown city more, of course this is not the one, since it is very far from the city and will cost you dearly. The train going for and back to Izumisano is the airport line, which is not covered on Osaka daily pass. The hotel also provide shuttle minivan for pick up and deliver guest to the airport, which is very good facility. The room that we got was in the new building (they had the old and building, do ask for rooms in new building) so it was very decent. It needs more walk though to access the new building but still considerable. We had room in 8th floor and the view to the Bay area was awesome, with the Izumisano flyer stands high.

The place is not far from the airport, so it's the last stop of our Japan trip, we take a taxi from the nearest subway station, arrive really late but still the owner waited for us, the room is traditional Japanese style, quite large, share shower place, very clean. As we need to catch early fly the next day, did not stay for long. I put the Location as Satisfactory because it's indeed not around hot tour spot, but more like a nice village, have a really serenity neighborhood. If want to stay quite at a traditional Japanese house, this is a great place.

The hotel is 1.5KM walk from Izumisano train station, and be prepared to spend a little time looking for the hotel if you’re walking. The closest convenient store is 5-10 mins walk away from the hotel but there’s multiple vending machines (drinks n mineral water) in the hotel. The hotel sells some small snacks as well. The onsen, the staff, the room, and the free shuttle bus to airport were all great :) The onsen provides every cosmetic items you need (shampoo, body wash, exfoliator, toner, moisturiser, body lotion, etc) and these are good quality stuff. Am very satisfied :D

when we arrived to stay just for one night to transit between osaka to the airport we receive exceptional customer service from one of the new trainee receptionist. she was extremely polite and did her best to help us in every way possible. she was also very understanding and gave us tips on where to eat and helped us with booking the shuttle bus. i highly recommend this hotel for it's location and proximity. as you would expect from most japan hotel rooms, they are quite small, so this is no different.

Don't worry about the location, it's very close to the izumisano train station, just 3 minutes walk.. The hotel room is so spacious, i booked the 3 bed room.. The toilet is clean, and the breakfast is good too.. My only complaint is the check out time is a little bit early, its at 10 am.. The staff is very friendly and speaks English well.. So it's a recommended hotel from me and for tourist

Location is great as the bus stops directly in front to the Ryokan. nearby there is a mountain and we went hiking; an exceptionally beautiful place. Private onsen is very enjoyable and you get to change water temperature according to your preference (hot & cold tap). Dinner and breakfast is kaiseki-style. slightly difficult to communicate in English, but a too small detail to hinder the stay. Free shuttle bus to nearby stations (Hineno & Izumisano). Guess the only negative comment is, the heater isn't working too well and throughout the night was feeling cold.

Clean, convenient hotel. Booked a twin single room for 2 and pretty sure was upgraded to double room with 2 double beds and sofa on the 12th floor with a great view of the city and temple below. More than enough room for two. One interesting thing is that you had to place your bum all the way to the back of the toilet seat in order for the bidet to work (they had a sign placed on the bathroom instructing you) otherwise the bidet did not function. No problem, just strange, never had to sit so far back before. Two train stops from Kansai Airport, 490 yen pp. 5 mins walk to Izumisano train station. There is a COOP supermarket across the "street" (more like a lane by American road standards), and another supermarket kitty corner to the back of the hotel on the same street as the temple. While they do have hotel shuttle very limited service hours so did not use them. Check in/out very quick and efficient. Ate dinner at hotel restaurant, tatami room, good food, good service, no English spoken but still able for staff and us to communicate. Did not partake of the breakfast in the morning. As others have commented not much in the way of tourist sights but enjoyed walking the city taking in Japanese life. The Rinku outlet shopping mall is the stop between hotel and KIX. High end outlets, not really our thing. Preferred wandering the SEACLE shops next to the outlet mall and riding the Ferris wheel. There are lockers and stores with baggage storage (300-400 yen per bag) so we didn't have to schlep our bags while there.

I arrived at Kansai International Airport at midnight around 24 o'clock. So all the train service were finished. And unfortunately there is no hostel near the airport as it is located on the sea. But fortunately the Nankai Bus to Izumisano city runs until 3:50 AM. (The bus fare was only 650 JPY from the airport to Izumisano city.) So I could reach Izumisano and I could stay this hostel. Owner kindly welcomed me even though it was around 3:00 AM when I arrived. This hostel is so helpful when you arrive at at Kansai International Airport at midnight.

Good location, a 10 minutes walk from Izumisano station. They also offer free pick-up and drop-off service at the train station, which is great. Make sure to contact them in advance to arrange the transportation. The staff is nice and friendly and speaks English. I got a room bigger than I expected (I think it was actually meant for 3 or 4 people), but it was freezing cold, and the air conditioning is a bit old so it took a while to start working. It would be great if they turned the heating on before the guest's arrival, so the room is already warm. The room was clean, but the shared bathroom was quite dirty, especially the toilet. I guess it depends on what kind of guests are staying there with you. That's why I prefer places with a private bathroom, but for just one night is okay I guess.

This was a good choice for convenience to airport and to Rinku Town shopping. Very clean and spacious especially compared to other locations for our stay in Japan. Self serve key box was easy and uncomplicated compared to having to pick up a key elsewhere. Dryer included in laundry room was a big plus if you need to wash AND dry clothes in a timely manner. Nearby bakery was a real treat. Quick walk to train station. Only downside was no divider between beds for privacy. Did not meet staff, but communication by email was helpful.

The place is very near to Izumisano St. It's a very lovely neighbourhood, with a quite large cosmetic store and good 100-yen shop just outside the station's only exit. It is also surrounded with a lot of restaurants. I highly recommend this place because it's clean and has every thing you need. Bathroom is excellent with high pressure water. Location is just one stop from our favourite stop: Rinku Town Station where there's Premium Outlet and also an excellent shopping mall called Seacle. The host was very communicative and gave us easy direction to his place.

Staff can speak English well. They have free shuttle from hotel to airport/rinku town. But free shuttle in the morning only. You can go for shopping at rinku premium outlet. Btw if you want to go to this hotel by train, pls stop at iharanosato stn. Only 6 minutes walking distance about 300m. Dont stop at izumisano stn coz u have to walk about 20-30 minutes! So far this hotel have good service and the room also nice.
