Nippon Koyu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Toshiya Okashita), which operates the travel booking site "Good Trip Express" (hereinafter: Good Trip), has commenced a partnership with "Prince Smart Inn Osaka Yodoyabashi," located close to Midosuji, Osaka's main street. The Yodoyabashi area, with its stately modern architecture, offers a calm and atmospheric streetscape, distinct from the bustling energy of Osaka. This partnership proposes a new way to experience Osaka, combining the smart convenience of the latest ICT facilities with strolls through historic streets.
■ Background of the Partnership: Yodoyabashi Area Gaining Attention with the Birth of a New Landmark
The area around Midosuji, Osaka's main street, is currently transforming from a historic business district into an advanced area with tourism and leisure attractions. Notably, the opening of the "Yodoyabashi Gate Tower," a new landmark, is scheduled for July this year, which is expected to further accelerate the influx of not only business people but also discerning travelers.
Good Trip Express, foreseeing the expansion of demand in this area, decided to partner with "Prince Smart Inn Osaka Yodoyabashi," which incorporates the latest ICT technology. The objective is to allow more people to experience the charm of the reborn Yodoyabashi through our strength: "low prices achieved by freely combining flights and accommodations."

■ Four Key Points of "Prince Smart Inn Osaka Yodoyabashi"
1. A Base for Classic City Walks, Feeling the History of "Water City Osaka"
The hotel's surroundings feature beautiful modern architecture from the Taisho and early Showa periods, such as the Bank of Japan Osaka Branch and the Osaka Central Public Hall. For those who wish to enjoy a quiet and elegant Osaka, different from the vibrant Dotonbori area, there is no better base. Imagine a gentle start to your journey, strolling through Nakanoshima Park in the clear morning air.
2. Minimalist Space Design for Switching Between Concentration and Rest
The smart and uncluttered guest rooms, unique to Smart Inn, are ideal for "workations" where the boundary between work and private life is blurred, or for "cocooning trips" where one wishes to spend time quietly alone. Despite being compact, the space, designed with attention to quality, allows you to forget the city's hustle and bustle, functioning as a "place to reset" your mind and body.
3. Smartly Enjoying the Culinary Battleground of "Yodoyabashi and Kitahama"
The area from Yodoyabashi to Kitahama is bustling with hidden cafes renovated from old buildings and highly-rated bistros. By keeping hotel services intentionally simple, you can allocate the saved time and budget to exploring the city's gourmet delights. This "culinary customization" is one of the true pleasures of a hotel specializing in accommodation.
4. Start Your Osaka Morning with a Kuroge Wagyu Buffet or Free Onigiri Breakfast
You can choose from two breakfast styles. The "Kuroge Wagyu Specialty Ten no Sachi Yama no Sachi Yodoyabashi Store" on the hotel's B1F offers a paid breakfast buffet featuring rich Osaka ingredients. For those who prefer a quick meal, a free breakfast of onigiri, miso soup, and a drink (takeout to your room available) is also provided. Breakfast options tailored to your travel style ensure a pleasant start to your day in Osaka.
