This place is amazing. This place was built in 2025, so everything is brand new. It is close enough to Universal Studios Japan, but not in the middle of the large and loud crowds, as well as close enough to get into the other areas of Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto. The breakfast was top notch. I recommend highly.

I booked The Rise so we can walk to Universal. It was beautiful. We booked for a family, The kids really enjoyed the stay here. It was close to Universal, Family mart and train station. Bathrooms were great. They had a washing machine as well. Breakfast was included and it was delicious. They had an Onsen as well, which we loved! It was easy to check in. I will definitely be back again. This was one of our favourite places to stay in Japan. Highly recommended.

The hotel is right near USJ theme park which my daughter was keen to go to. It was excellent value and provided a condo-style spacious room ideal for families with all the amenities. The check-in system was a breeze and almost everything is automated. The restaurant and Hot Spring are in the next building along (literally 30 seconds out the door) and they were both excellent. The Onsen in particular was outstanding and amazing to use - all in English and automated again. It was my first time using an Onsen and I will always remember it. The staff are watchful and appear only when needed, with nice small touches and gifts. This place was truly excellent and will be top of my list to stay again in Osaka in the future.

We loved the room and the space was larger than we expected. It was very comfortable for 5 people for 7 days. We really appreciated the kitchen, laundry, and balcony with a rack for drying clothes. It is just a twenty min walk to the pier to catch ferry to aquarium or to USJ. We also took advantage of the restaurant and spa on site. It was our first time to Japan and we will definitely be back!

Thank you for a peaceful stay. Everything was great except for the beds as they were very firm and can be uncomfortable. Did not have breakfast so I cannot comment on it. All in all I would give this place 7/10.

Room was immaculate and enough space for family of 3. The self-check in process was seamless. The Rise team communicated effectively via email. Breakfast had both Traditional Japanese and Western option for breakfast. They were both set menu. Convenient 300 metre walk to Ajikawaguchi Train Station. Close to Universal Studios and City Walk.

We booked for a stay of 6 nights but only 2 small packets of detergent were provided. Pillows and blankets shld be provided for guests sleeping in the tatami area in the living room. We could only make do with the small cushions so didnt sleep well. And there was no one to contact for help.
Overall, the place was clean. Short 7 min walk to the train station was a plus. There are no amenities in the area so get what you need in town before heading back.
Breakfast was a choice of Japanese or Western. Same dishes throughout the 6 days so got a bit sick of it towards the end.
