Ramada Osaka offers an accommodation plan that encourages guests to see historic sites in Osaka and Kyoto and visit trendy, faddish "power spots."
Going to so-called power spots — places believed to give visitors some special energy, healing or refreshing, spiritual feeling — has been a popular activity among some Japanese of late. The places are usually religious, historic or natural.
The accommodation plan at the Ramada Osaka for guests wishing to join this fad comes with a one-day tourist ticket, which allows unlimited use of local subways, city buses and some trains, as well as free entrance to 26 tourist spots and facilities, such as Osaka Castle. An original leaflet produced by the hotel introduces power spots and historic places in Osaka and Kyoto, including Shoman-in Aizen-do Temple, Omokaru Jizo at Shitennoji Temple, Honnoji and Osaka Castle.
