Morning window and street view. The nearby hamanasu cafe has been permanently closed. Business was very good in 2014. When I went there in 2019, there were only a few customers.Nagai YH had bicycles for rent, which cost only 200 yen a day at that time, and they became my main means of transportation.This was the guest room at Wanbo. It later became a hostel. Many students came here to stay while on study tour. Before I used the hotel reservation website, YH was my favorite. At that time, it was the cheapest to renew the card in mainland China.The botanical garden next to it. I think I will stay here every time I come to Osaka, so I didn’t go there in 2014. 2019 Booking Network I live in the city and come here specifically to the botanical garden.There will be radio morning exercises in the big park next to the residence. The music is the music used by the 5th and 6th graders in elementary school gymnastics. It is very similar to the national health exercises at that time.

First stay in about 3 years. When I made a reservation over the phone, I was told that the management had been transferred from the Osaka City Commission to the YH Association, and that none of the former staff remained, which gave me a bad feeling, but the basic parts have hardly changed. The heavy sofa in the area in front of the TV in the lobby was useful on nights when you couldn't sleep due to the snoring of your roommates, but it has been removed and now cosplay costumes for commemorative photos are lined up. Although it is undeniable that the equipment is aging, the reception hours have been extended to 24:00, and paper towels and water dispensers have been installed in the lounge next to the dining room.I think this is the cheapest accommodation in Osaka in terms of ease of use once you get used to it.

I borrowed it for a workshop. The hallways feel long because the guest rooms are located along the sides of the stadium. Also, please be aware that unless a group of 10 or more people is booked for the same time slot, the dining room will not be serving meals. The taste was delicious. It looked like a university cafeteria.

Osaka City Nagai Youth Hostel, a hotel located inside Nagai Stadium. The inside of the hotel was very clean and comfortable, and the guest rooms were quadruple rooms, double rooms, single rooms, Japanese-style rooms, and four-person rooms.The restrooms and baths were shared, and the heating in the rooms was perfect. During the cold season, I was worried about sleeping and the communal bath environment, but I was able to get a good night's rest with hot water and a comfortable bed. If you want to eat, you can cook your own meals, and hot water and hot water are always available at the dining hall. Additionally, there is a curfew at 11pm, so if you don't mind that discipline, I think this is an affordable and comfortable place to stay.Osaka City Nagai Youth Hostel, a hotel located inside Nagai Stadium.

Stayed to see live performanceThere are benefits because you can stay at the live venue.1 Long line for the toilet (girls) in the park outside.Almost the entire hotel is reserved2 Because it is a venue, it is easy to move around and you can rest in your room until the last minute.Even if you sweat a little in the public bath at 16:00, you can still make it in time (the show starts at 17:30)3 You don't have to carry around even if you buy goods etc.4 The staff are kind and the facility is clean.5 Check-in time is early at 13:006 In the cafeteria, B'z music is playing that day.7 I can hear the sound leaking from rehearsal.There are probably more, but I recommend these.
