Room reserved for 4 people, 2 guys 2 girls. The hotel/ryokan is nice but a little old (especially the very old school style bathroom).|The futons were installed by the staff when we were out of the room. …

A hotel with a typical Ryokan atmosphere a stone's throw from the river and the Dotonbori district, inexpensive, with spacious but sparsely furnished rooms! We took the dinner and breakfast included option, they carefully prepared vegetarian meals for us, the futons are thin so it is not easy to sleep on them… the overall result is very positive though!

This is a great hotel. Opposite is the major bus interchange to the airport. When you go out, there is Lawson on the right and pedestrian street on the left. It takes 10 minutes to get to the MRT. There is also a public bathhouse on the first floor of the basement, which is perfect for relaxing after a tiring day... Such a good hotel must be reviewed!

This ryokan is located along Dotonbori and has good access. There is also a large public bath which is highly recommended!
