The easiest plan for concert-goers is to stay within walking distance of the dome, or one or two stops away in Namba or Umeda where restaurants and hotels are plentiful. Here are the most convenient places to stay, plus how to get there.

- Eat in Namba. Dining right by the dome is limited, so head toward Minami.
- A room with a microwave lets you enjoy takeout back at the hotel after a late show.
