Sure, this isn't a place to visit so much as it is a place to stay, but still! The Ritz-Carlton in Osaka is conveniently located just five minutes from Kitanishi Station by foot. The hotel was designed under the concept of an 18th-century English mansion, and thus looks extremely stylish. The Club Lounge serves up some amazing fare regardless of what time of day it is, with an impressive selection of western favorites. The rooms also overlook the city, and provide an incredible view at night time. If you're looking to live in luxury, look no further!

With a good selection of drinks and a unique concept, this is one bar you should definitely visit while in town!
