Our experience here was amazing! Nao was an amazing host who gave us great recommendations in Osaka for food. Additionally, the coffee and food were delicious.We stayed in both the traditional room and the hostel-style dorm. Both areas were extremely clean and well-kept. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone staying in Osaka. It felt like an incredibly authentic experience!

It's my first day, but it's quiet and nice. My Japanese friend introduced me to it, so I'm planning to stay there for a month.
