Nice reception Able to store luggage until check in at 1600. Great room. Also used the onsen Great water. It is a bit dated, although this shows you how it should be. Great stay
Hotel is located in a quiet area but still close to all main attractions. Room was clean and big enough for two people. It even had a table and two chairs. The ryokan was comfortable to sleep on surprisingly. Check in was very friendly. They showed us the room. Cannot use outdoor shoes inside the room but they have slippers. Would recommend for a unique experience.
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were very friendly and spoke English, which made communication easy. What I liked most was the location—just a short walk from the train station and very close to Dotonbori and major shopping areas.
The hotel is a traditional Japanese ryokan with beautiful tatami flooring, offering a truly authentic experience.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the smell in the hallway and elevator carpets, which I feel could use an upgrade.
Other than that, everything was great! It's a safe and convenient place to stay, especially if you plan to explore Osaka's top sights and shops.

A really nice ryokan style hotel, very close to Doutonbori Street
If you like old-fashioned style, it is really good choice. Also location of this hotel is good. Clearance service was good, too. The only on what I was disappointed was hours of use for public bath. Public bath is forbidden from 8 ~ 9 pm.

직원들 모두 친절하고 좋아요👍 시설이 노후되어있지만, 위치도 좋고 나름 만족합니다. 지극히 일본스타일 료칸입니다.
