Right next to Kansai International Airport, Star Gate Hotel Kansai Airport is a soaring 54-story skyscraper offering breathtaking views and top-notch hospitality. Conveniently connected to Rinku-Town Station, it’s just one stop (about 10 minutes) from the airport—making it an ideal place to stay before or after your flight. But it’s not just a transit hotel; it’s also perfect for a luxurious getaway with spectacular scenery.
A Luxurious Stay on the 48th Floor: Premier Deluxe Corner Twin – Airport View
For this trip, I stayed in the Premier Deluxe Corner Twin – Airport View on the 48th floor. The room features two massive windows offering a panoramic view of Osaka Bay, Kansai Airport’s runways, and a dazzling nightscape
The moment you sit on the plush sofa by the window, you feel like you’re at an observation deck! During the day, you can take in the deep blue sea and sky, while at night, the twinkling lights of aircraft taking off and landing create a dreamy atmosphere.
The room itself is spacious with a classic, calming ambiance. I spent a relaxing time by the window, sipping coffee and soaking in the stunning view.
Breakfast at 256 Meters Above Ground! A Breathtaking Ocean View & Lavish Buffet
The next morning, I had breakfast at Sky Dining “Star Gate”, located on the 54th floor—the highest point of the hotel.
Here, you get a sweeping panoramic view of Osaka Bay, Kansai Airport, and even Awaji Island in the distance! Enjoying a meal while gazing at this spectacular scenery is an unforgettable experience.
The breakfast buffet is as impressive as the view:
✅ A wide variety of Japanese and Western dishes, salads, fresh fruits, and juices
✅ A live kitchen serving freshly made omelets and sunny-side-up eggs
✅ Osaka’s famous takoyaki and the hotel’s signature honey-infused curry
I went for a Japanese-style breakfast, selecting grilled fish, tamagoyaki, shirasu (baby sardines), natto, tofu, and more. For dessert, I had yogurt with granola and honey, paired with a refreshing glass of fresh juice.
Savoring a delicious breakfast while admiring the breathtaking view—it was truly a blissful moment. I couldn’t help but think, “I want to experience this again!”
