Experience Shared Bicycles! Discover Local Life and Scenery

Why not enjoy a rental bicycle ride while using OSAKA AIRTERMINAL HOTEL as your base?
If you stay at a hotel and start your day slowly, you can explore the surrounding area by bicycle, which will expand the scope of your sightseeing. You can leave the hotel and start right away, so you can enjoy your trip smoothly without wasting time.
Furthermore, you can easily visit places that are difficult to reach by public transport, so you can have a more fulfilling sightseeing experience.

For instance, the CUPNOODLES MUSEUM OSAKA IKEDA in neighboring Ikeda City offers a unique experience where visitors can learn about the history of instant ramen and make their own original cup noodles. The museum is especially popular with families, but it is a fun spot for both adults and children.

If you don’t mind cycling a little farther, another great idea is to visit Minoh Great Falls, a scenic spot in Minoh City. Minoh Great Falls is a relaxing spot where you can enjoy beautiful seasonal scenery and the sound of the falls. The road to the falls is also rich in nature, making it a place where you can refresh yourself while cycling. Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city and immersing yourself in nature while cycling will surely refresh your body and mind.

In particular, the “My Cup Noodle Factory,” where you can make your own original cup noodle, is very popular with families and tourists from overseas (No reservation required/Numbered ticket required).
The “Chicken Ramen Factory,” where visitors can try their hand at making instant ramen (reservations required), is also unique and fun.

Minoh Great Falls is a very well-known natural tourist spot in the Kansai region. Because of its easy accessibility from Osaka City, it is gradually beginning to attract the attention of visitors from overseas. The attraction of Minoh Great Falls is the beautiful nature that changes from season to season and the hiking to the falls. Especially during the autumn foliage season, the sight of the falls surrounded by vibrant leaves is breathtaking and attracts numerous visitors. The waterfall has been selected as one of the “100 Best Waterfalls in Japan,” and its dynamic 33-meter drop is well worth a visit. On the way to the falls, visitors can enjoy local gourmet foods and souvenirs, making a stroll around the area an enjoyable experience.

Minoh Great Falls, Famous for Its Autumn Leaves

One of the specialities of Minoh is ‘momiji tempura’. This is a sweet snack made by coating sweet batter on maple leaves and deep frying them, similar to karinto. Why not take home a Japanese-style snack that you can enjoy with your eyes and your taste buds?

Bicycles are environmentally friendly and provide moderate exercise while traveling, allowing you to maintain a healthy lifestyle even while on the go. You can easily rent a bicycle through a shared cycle service called “HELLO CYCLING (https://www.hellocycling.jp/),” which has recently increased in number in Osaka. Bicycles can be rented easily via an app.

You can also use your time more efficiently as you avoid the crowds and traffic jams on public transport. The fact that you can access spots that are far from the station smoothly is a unique advantage of cycling. For these reasons, renting a bicycle in the city is a very attractive option that provides a comfortable and free travel experience.

Staying at OSAKA AIRTERMINAL HOTEL and visiting the surrounding deep Osaka by bicycle is a great way to spend more time in the city. Active sightseeing using shared bicycles and a moment to enjoy the power of airplanes will surely be a wonderful memory.
