I happened to find this place because it was a Saturday during Obon and everywhere was packed, so I stayed for one night.About 5 minutes from Imazato Station next to Tsuruhashi.In a capsule type room, in the hallwaywashroom, shower and toilet.There was a microwave and hot water pot on the 1st floor.There's no kitchen.There is a 7-Eleven nearby and a 10 minute walk to Tamade Supermarket.You can go to Tennoji by riding the Imazato Liner.It's convenient and cheap so I might stay there again.

Even though I arrived later than what was stated on the reservation site, I was grateful that they kindly checked me in and recommended Osaka Castle.The location wasn't too far from the center, and I liked it better than the center.The price was reasonable and I was lucky enough to have the room to myself, so it was very comfortable.I hope it goes well

I used the top bunk beds in the women's dormitory. I also shared a room with two foreign women traveling alone and a Japanese person.Apparently there are many foreign users.According to the owner, many foreign guests choose this type of accommodation because they want to know how people from other countries think.It seems that it has been open for a year, and it has been kept in good condition.The second floor we used had a shower, two toilets, and two sinks.Fortunately, there were no noisy people, so it was nice to have a quiet time.The bed was about the size of a semi-double, so it was comfortable.It was fun to talk a little with two foreign women and hear about the owner.
