"Liber Hotel at Universal Studios Japan" is a very big hotel that opened near USJ in November. There are various types of rooms in the hotel, some of which are related to USJ, but I was interested in the Spacious Room, which stands out among the rooms where four family members can stay together. In addition, breakfast was served as a buffet and the spa was free for guests.

What is the Spacious Room Bright like?
Guest room entrance door.
You must take your shoes off at the entrance.
Full length mirror
Shoe box
The room was bigger than I had imagined, and my family was very excited! It is also recommended for families with small children as it is still a new and clean room where you can take off your shoes.
Air purifier
There was a panel which could be used as an alarm.
You can also use the panel to turn lights on and off.
It was also useful to know how busy the spa was.
There were 6 single size beds. First, enter the guest room and there are two on your left. The bed was fluffy and comfortable. There are two types of pillows, hard and soft, and the cushion could be used like a pillow.
There was a phone and memo pad next to the bed.
There was a sofa in the middle of the room, and on the right side of it were a total of 4 beds, including a bunk bed. My children liked bunk beds.
There was a reading light, USB port and an outlet on both sides of the bed.
Pajamas
There is a spacious sofa space in the middle of the room, which is perfect for gathering with family and friends. The TV was also very big.
There is also a USB port and an outlet next to the sofa, and I was grateful that I could charge my electronic devices anywhere.
The room seen from the back of the room.
There were two big windows on both sides of the TV.
The roof on the 3rd floor was protruding, so it looked like a balcony, but I couldn’t get out of the window. Our room was on the 4th floor, so it wasn’t a spectacular view, but we could see the Hanshin Expressway bridge and the Tempozan Ferris Wheel in the distance.
The night view seen from the window. It may be more interesting to have a view of USJ instead of the river.

Restaurants and Shops in the Hotel

I had breakfast and dinner (take out) here.
This restaurant had an outdoor terrace, so if the weather is nice it would be nice to have your meal here.
Couple seats
Take out dinner.
Breakfast was served buffet style. I was told that it gets crowded for breakfast, so I went to eat at an earlier time.

Drinks
Breakfast
There was a cafe & bar “LIBER” on the 1st floor, but it was closed during my stay.

Facilities in the Hotel
There wad a “Riverside Spa” on the 3rd floor, which guests could use for free (it seems to be 2000 yen for a day trip bath). I couldn’t enter because of the pajamas in the room, but the slippers were OK. The hot spring, which is wider than the nearby super public bath and pumped up from 1000m underground, was a slimy hot spring with plenty of metasilicic acid.
This is the waiting room for the spa with chairs with nature motifs such as caves and trees.
There is also an outdoor terrace where you can cool off while enjoying a nice view.
A massage chair (for a fee) was also installed in the relaxation room attached to the spa.
Similarly on the 3rd floor was a refresh salon “GLOW.”
A smoking room on the 1st and 3rd floors.
A coin laundry on the 3rd floor, which was available 24 hours a day.
There is also a faction room on the 3rd floor, which seems to be available for parties, dinners, meetings, etc.
Locker room on the 1st floor.
A foreign currency exchange machine was installed in the lobby.

Hotel Surroundings
I think most of the guests are staying to visit USJ, but there was also a live house of “ZEPP OSAKA” near the building, so I think that many people will use this hotel when live performances are held. There was also a convenience store right next to it. There is also a boat bound for Tempozan about 10 minutes on foot, so I think it’s a convenient route for those who want to go to Kaiyukan. This time, the arrival time was near the evening, so I didn’t go to USJ but only to University. It was just around 19:00 when the park was closed, so it was full of people returning home one after another. So the restaurant was lined up and I bought tapioca milk tea and souvenirs and went back to the hotel. For dinner, I had reserved a take-out box at the hotel restaurant, so I was able to eat in my room.
USJ is one stop or a 13-minute walk.
There was also a convenience store next to the hotel.

Staff and Guests
The staff alway greeted me with a smile. It was very pleasant to be able to say hello so politely, as there aren’t many hotels other than luxury hotels. The customer service at the front desk was very accustomed to me, and I was able to check in smoothly. When I asked for takeout at the restaurant, I made a small mistake, but he delivered it to my room immediately.
There were families with small children, girl groups, school trip students, and various customer groups. I also saw several groups of foreigners. It was a large hotel with 760 rooms, so people of all ages stayed there. Large buses were also waiting in the parking lot, so I think that the number of group trips will increase in the future.

Access
It takes 30 seconds on foot from JR Sakurajima Station. The next station is Universal City Station, where USJ is located, but it was a 1-minute train ride and a 13-minute walk, so it was a comfortable distance. If the weather is nice, you can take a walk. JR Sakurajima station is the last and first train station, so I’m glad it wasn’t too crowded. It’s 130 yen per station to USJ, but even if you get tired of walking and come back, it’s nice to have a hotel in front of you after exiting the ticket gate. The parking fee is 2500 yen per night, but considering the round-trip transportation costs, I think that the car may be cheaper. There is also a plan that includes a parking fee, so I thought it would be a good idea to come by car if you are traveling with small children.
As soon as you cross the pedestrian crossing, you will find JR Sakurajima Station.

Summary
It was a very big hotel which was very new. The children were delighted and satisfied with the large room. The breakfast buffet has a large number of dishes, and outdoor sofa seats and table seats are also available, so if the weather is nice, outdoor is also recommended. To use the spa and coin laundry as well as the elevator, you need a card key for your room, so I think security measures are perfect. Lockers are free, but you will need a special coin at the front desk. Ice is installed next to the vending machine near the elevator on each floor, and a container is provided to replace the ice bucket. This hotel collaborates with USJ and there are various types of rooms, so I wanted to stay in the collaboration room next time. And if possible, I thought it would be nice to have a room on the park side on the upper floor.
