I went to their cafe a couple of months ago. I still remember the owners being very nice to me and my friend. We ordered two slices of cakes and Chai Latte. The cozy vibe and the sunny light filtering through the windows that day, together with the homemade cakes, really turned this adventure of mine in a good memory.

Did not stay here, but went here on a whim for a coffee and a sandwich after a long day. It was one of my favorite places we went to in Osaka. The staff were so, so nice. They have a nice selection of records on sale and after browsing them I chatted with one of their patrons, who recommended I check out Yumi Arai’s earlier records. I did not end up buying the record the nice man recommended me, and I regret it deeply, because I checked it out once back at my hotel and it’s since become one of my favorite albums of all time. The album was “MISSLIM” by Yumi Arai. I’ll always think of The Pax and my amazing trip to Japan when I play it.

It’s my first home in Japan, and everything feels cozy the moment I step in.🧘🏻‍♀️The place is exceptional since it’s located in the Shinsekai district. This is my first time staying at a hostel, but I didn’t worry about the cleanliness because they always have staff cleaning the entire room. Shoutout to them for their meticulous care! 🙇🏻‍♀️The staff are all so welcoming, even though I’m quite introverted. Thank you to them for trying to communicate in English to cater to our needs, day or night. 🙏🏻 🫶🏼 I also had no trouble conversing with my roommates from overseas; they’re all friendly. Thank you, everyone, for making my first experience in Japan so welcoming. 🥺🫶🏼💜P.S. I regret not buying from their café and tasting their coffee. 😩
