Perhaps because it was the off-season, it was completely neglected.They said they would provide towels every day, but they didn't, and except for check-in on the first day, I didn't see the owner's face until the last day I left.The original local tatami room and location are everything.The location is close to Namba tourist attractions.Instead, you can feel a truly local, everyday Japanese neighborhood.

This is a review I went to without knowing anything about Salty Tours.I stayed for 4 nights and was given room 103 with a garden view.However, there is no soundproofing at all.The first two nights were good.But then a group of Chinese-looking people came in and it was very difficult.I'm not saying it was difficult because I was Chinese.I come in around midnight every day and spend an hour putting my luggage away and rustling… Even though I asked the staff to please do it in the morning, it kept happening.On the last night, there was a noise for about 30 minutes starting at midnight... and when I knocked, it got a little quiet... but then it started rustling again.

It's clean, well-equipped, and well-cooled and heated.The owner was also friendly and answered my questions well.It's a little far from the city center, butI am satisfied because it is good value for money.However, the soundproofing is not good.The room next to the kitchen is a bit noisy.

Stayed here for about a week. The owner is Korean and he is very kind. It's 3 minutes away from Kitakagaya Station and you can get to Namba within 15 minutes by subway, so it's conveniently located!The room is comfortable and the heater and air conditioner work well and are clean.I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a traditional Japanese room. They also rent bicycles for free, so it's great for taking a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood.It's really nice that the restrooms are separated for men and women.There are kitchen utensils, so it's great for cooking. (There's a supermarket nearby.)I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful trip to Osaka!(Wi-Fi is also good!)I really recommend here to stay!It’s really cozy and comfortable and cleanThe owner is very friendly!

I went there with a friend of the same sex, and when I got off at Kitakagaya Station, they even picked me up and picked me up. They were really kind. When I heard the school bell ringing as if there was an elementary school next door, I felt like I was in a Japanese cartoon. I asked if there was a hot spring nearby and it was really nice. There are people watching comic books inside. The men's and women's baths were switched every day. Yesterday, it was clearly a men's bathhouse... Separately, I stayed in room 3 on the first floor, but the room next door was room 4? Because it shares a garden, the floor is attached, but it is blocked by a partition. The important thing is that there is no soundproofing in the room at all. I can really hear snoring in the room next door. The neighborhood called Kitakagaya is cozy and nice. I also went to a small white building called Mitsuwa Sukiya, a meat restaurant nearby. It was a bit expensive, but the dipping sauce was really delicious. Of course, the meat is delicious too. Not knowing what it was, I ordered the top one, but it was beef tongue. The amount was very small, but it was good to have as a second drink with beer. Have a nice trip!
