Take Family to Explore Osaka with MIMARU’s Taiwanese Staff -- Local Tips with Personal Touch

Cosmos Hotel Management — Thu, 15 May 2025 16:00:00 +0900

TOKYO, May 15, 2025 /Kyodo JBN/ --
Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd.
As the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo draws global attention, MIMARU, Japan’s leading apartment hotel brand, operated by Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd., will exhibit at the Taipei Tourism Expo 2025 (TTE2025) from May 23 to 26. MIMARU will share real travel tips and experiences from its Taiwanese staff’s perspective, helping Taiwanese families rediscover the charms of Osaka and plan memorable trips to Japan.

MIMARU offers spacious rooms (40 to 100 square meters) equipped with kitchens, dining and living areas, and laundry facilities -- perfect for families and groups traveling together. With 27 locations across Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, MIMARU has become a top choice among Taiwanese travelers, who now account for over 15% of guests. The brand currently employs 17 Taiwanese staff members (as of March 2025), ensuring not only comfort but a cultural connection for visiting families.

Explore Osaka with MIMARU’s Taiwanese Staff
"Our recommended spot to visit before or after exploring Osaka Castle is the Osaka Gourmet EXPO," says a MIMARU staff member. Located within Osaka Castle Park, the Osaka Gourmet EXPO 2025 brings together around 30 food vendors, offering regional specialties in a spacious outdoor setting. Families can enjoy a relaxed tasting experience, sampling a wide range of Japanese dishes without the need for reservations.

The event runs from April 12 to October 13, 2025, at Taiyo-no-Hiroba in Osaka Castle Park. For more details, visit: https://osaka-gourmet-expo-com-t.athp.transer.com/about

"While Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori are famous, we recommend visiting lesser-known spots like America-mura and Orange Street, where you can enjoy shopping and local culture," says a MIMARU staff member. America-mura and Orange Street are vibrant neighborhoods near Shinsaibashi, filled with unique shops and local character, making them perfect for both kids and adults. Located just 25 minutes by subway from the Expo venue, they are also conveniently close to MIMARU’s Osaka properties.

MIMARU: Where Taiwanese Families Meet the Perfect Stay in Japan

Whether it’s help with sightseeing, shopping, or daily needs, MIMARU’s team ensures a warm, culturally familiar experience that makes every family feel at home. With 124 weekly flights between Taipei and Kansai International Airport, access from Taiwan is easy. From the airport, it takes about one hour to reach any of MIMARU’s four locations in Osaka.

MIMARU Unveils Japan’s First Free Trilingual Accessible Travel Guide -- Milestone toward Truly Inclusive Tourism

Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd., the operator of the apartment-hotel brand MIMARU, has teamed with Arukikata Co., Ltd., the company behind Japan’s iconic travel guide series, Chikyu no Arukikata (Globe-Trotter Travel Guidebook),which covers over 160 countries, and the Good Luck Trip platform for international visitors to Japan. As approximately 16% of the world’s population lives with some form of disability (WHO, 2023), together, they have started Japan’s first free trilingual accessible travel guide (English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese).

The guide is available in print at all MIMARU locations and online via the official website starting April 21, 2025, helping ensure that even just one more traveler feels confident and inspired to explore Japan.

Guided by the vision of "Experience a New Japan," ANO-NE was developed in response to feedback from families staying at MIMARU, an apartment hotel brand operated by Cosmos Hotel Management. With over 90% of MIMARU's guests being international travelers, the need for a dedicated play space became clear.

Project leader Asami Sasaki commented, "ANO-NE Kids Club has been a meaningful project for me. While it presented challenges in the beginning, I’m proud that we created a space that genuinely serves both children and parents. I conceptualize it as 'Their Play-cation, Your Vacation' -- where parents enjoy their own time until 10 PM, knowing their children are safe and engaged. Afterward, they reunite with their kids at ANO-NE and perhaps share the day’s experiences on the way back, or once they return to their MIMARU room, gather around the dining area to talk. I hope this space allows both parents and children to fully enjoy their travels in Japan."

Based on data from January to September 2024, visitors from the U.S.A. to Japan have increased 150% from the corresponding period in 2019 (*2).

Touring Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka-Hiroshima: For first-timers to Japan, using an unlimited rail pass to freely travel by train along the golden route is highly recommended. The view of Mt. Fuji from the bullet train is one highlight of the route. Hiroshima is just a 90-minute trip from Osaka and Kyoto, so it’s easy to make a day trip using MIMARU as a travel base.

Meet Popular Characters: Where could travelers find a better location for subculture like anime, games, and J-pop than Akihabara in Tokyo? Not to mention, anime merchandise specialty shops and character cafes are spread all throughout Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. At MIMARU, guests can also stay in a room where they will be greeted by a giant Snorlax.

Fun, Delicious Adventure in World of Japanese Food Even Children Can Enjoy; Carefully Selected...

Cosmos Hotel Management — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 16:00:00 +0900

TOKYO, Aug. 26, 2024 /Kyodo JBN/ --
Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd.
Fun, Delicious Adventure in World of Japanese Food Even Children Can Enjoy; Carefully Selected Food Experiences Recommended by Malaysian Staff of No. 1 Apartment Hotel, MIMARU

Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd., which operates Japan's No. 1 apartment hotel "MIMARU," will exhibit at the travel fair "MATTA Fair September 2024," to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from Friday, September 6, to Sunday, September 8, 2024.
Staying at MIMARU means enjoying a trip to the fullest. Since the company wants Malaysian families to experience an amazing trip, the Malaysian staff at MIMARU have put together a selection of recommended Japanese food based on three themes: "Experience Japanese food," "Masterclasses of Popular ramen," and "Enjoy with Children."
Staff members at MIMARU are always ready to recommend restaurants to guests that fit their interests perfectly. It only takes one bite to make them fall in love with the beauty and deliciousness of the world of Japanese food and make them curious for more. Family mealtime will be an adventurous and enjoyable occasion during the trip.

1. Experience Japanese food The staple food in Japan is rice, and there are many rice dishes, including sushi. One of the company's recommendations is the "donburi" (rice bowl). There are many specialty restaurants, such as oyakodon (chicken and egg bowl), gyudon (beef bowl) with sweet and spicy beef and soup, and ebi-katsudon (deep-fried shrimp cutlet bowl). Recently, "onigiri" (rice balls) have become very popular around the world. They are made by stuffing rice with various ingredients and wrapping it in seaweed. At convenience stores, they are reasonably priced at around 4-6 MYR (130-200 JPY) a piece.

2. Popular ramen masterclasses
Ramen, which has been gaining attention from around the world, is particularly attractive to foodies for its regional variety. Hokkaido is famous for its miso flavor topped with butter and corn, while Kanto is famous for its traditional soy sauce flavor. Additionally, the hardness and thickness of the noodles also differ. Recently, there has been an increase in new varieties of ramen that use secret soup recipes, homemade noodles and ingredients. One popular example of such is yuzu salt ramen. Guests can enjoy an innovative bowl of ramen that highlights the craftsmanship of Japanese people. In Japan's major cities, ramen shops from all over the country can be found, and comparing the different varieties will become a fun part of the trip.

3. Enjoy with children
Two popular sweets that have been around in Japan for a long time are taiyaki and shaved ice. Fish-shaped taiyaki are filled with red bean paste or cream, and some traditional eateries even grill them one by one over charcoal. Shaved ice drenched in matcha is a visually stunning delicacy. If guests want to casually dine with their kids, the company recommends a conveyor belt sushi restaurant where they can choose sweets and a la carte dishes, or a more adventurous family restaurant with a wide menu and where food is delivered by a robot.

The company hopes visitors to Japan enjoy staying together with their family and friends at MIMARU, an apartment hotel that offers spacious guest rooms equipped with fully furnished kitchens, located in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. About 80% of visitors to Japan are families, and approximately 400,000 international guests stay at MIMARU each year (FY2023: Results for the period April to March).

Top 7 reasons why visitors choose MIMARU
