Hoshino Resort’s hotel brand “OMO,” which operates 14 hotels across Japan as “Machinaka” hotels, has “Neighborhood Guide OMO Rangers,” hotel staff who know the town inside and out, stationed at each facility to provide guests with a new lodging experience while guiding them on how to enjoy the local area.

Also, a “Maniac” lecture on how to enjoy USJ will be held every night starting on May 12 for guests only, “Don’t miss it!
Here, certified OMO rangers will teach how to take good-looking photos, which they have thoroughly verified by actually walking around the park, as well as information on souvenirs carefully selected from their own perspectives. There are also about 30 different types of items such as catsuits and hats for visitors to wear, so that they can see and touch them before coming to the park.
This is the first time in Japan that such a park-approved guide has been created outside the park.

Prior to the opening of USJ in April 2022, the OMO concept was based on the idea that “when thinking about what is unique to Osaka, it is very important to introduce the wonderful contents of USJ to our customers.

In addition to USJ, Osaka City will continue to attract powerful content with the Osaka Expo in 2025 and the IR project in 2029. Mr. Hoshino expressed his belief that how to connect these three contents with tourism, culture, and food in Osaka City “is a very important theme for the future of Osaka, and this initiative will be the start of it,” and expressed his hope that it will bring economic benefits to the entire city.
The hotel has hosted a variety of in-house events in the past. For example, the hotel has hosted talks with “professionals in their fields” such as craftsmen of traditional Osaka arts and crafts, carvers of Danjiris, and people related to the Kizu wholesale market near the hotel, and has introduced the charms of Osaka through talks with the OMO rangers and sometimes involving guests. The program also includes talks with “professionals in the field,” such as a carver and an official of the nearby Kizu wholesale market.
