We'll introduce you to art spots in Osaka City, including the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts, which reopened after renovations in 2025. If you're planning on touring art museums in Osaka, we recommend staying at Hotel Noum OSAKA, a design hotel with art in the guest rooms and throughout the building.
Visit museums from Hotel Noum OSAKA
The guest rooms at Hotel Noum OSAKA feature a simple design that uses warm materials and colors and includes only the necessities.
With the desire to "keep the mind and body neutral during your stay at the hotel," we have minimized the number of electrical appliances and instead placed art and plants selected to match the guest rooms.
It is also within walking distance of the Nakanoshima Island area, which is dotted with art museums, so it is recommended as a base for visiting art museums.
