There are about 6 floors, and I stayed on the 5th floor. I am satisfied for the price. I heard that ryokans are difficult to manage. There were many foreign guests, and although it was my first time there, it seemed like the ryokan had its own unique manners. Next time, I will definitely study etiquette.

I went there without any expectations and was very satisfied. I made a reservation because the location was great, and the room was really nice. The communal bathhouse was so much better than I expected that I regret not being able to use it much. Next time I come to Osaka, I plan to stay again.

It seems like a lot of Japanese locals use it, and I've seen a lot of Koreans too.All the staff are very friendly.The location is about two blocks from the starting point of Dotonbori, so you can walk for about 10 minutes.There are many convenience stores nearby and it is convenient.There is a large public bathhouse, and although it is not large, it is quiet and the water temperature is just right, so if you sit in the bathhouse every evening, your fatigue will go away.I requested and ate breakfast twice, and it was served as a Japanese home-style meal and the menu seemed to change every day.However, I definitely got the feeling that the dish was prepared with much more care and attention than the ones you get at restaurants you go out to eat.It's delicious and the female staff who guides us around is very friendly.Honestly, next time I go to Osaka again, I will re-book without hesitation.The kids loved it so much that they wanted to stay more.I highly recommend it.

It was close to Namba, a good location, and cheap.It really felt like an old inn.There is a bathroom, but it is very small.We had a good time, but it wasn't clean or anything like that.

I used it on a family trip during Golden Week.Despite being located in the city center, it was relatively inexpensive and helpful.The building and facilities seem old, but the warm and considerate staff provided us with a great feeling.It was a place that I would like to use again if I have the opportunity.

I only stayed two nights, but the service was impeccable. Very kind and friendly, room larger than expected.We took advantage of the onsen in the ryokan. Excellent experience.Recommended for those who want to have a different experience while staying in Japan.P.S: when asked to keep our bags after check out until the evening they were very helpful.

Good to visit as a family~We visited as a family of three, and being able to enjoy a hot spring ryokan in Osaka is an advantage.The room is larger than expected and full of analog sensibility.It makes me feel strongly that I am in Japan.This is a place that starts with kindness and ends with kindness.It is difficult to recommend it to those who like fancy and sophisticated places, but I recommend it to those who like the analog feel of Japan.
