The location directly across from the top of Dotonburi st was awesome, everything we needed was in quick walking distance, clubs, shops, arcade, transportation. And a slew of amazing restaurants. We didn’t use all of the amenities offered, but the open air bath was very nice and the traditional tatami and futon were also like sleeping on a dream. We loved the riverside view and waking up to the sounds of the people in the morning!

Great location for the busy streets of Dotonbashi but unfortunately it meant the noise at night kept us awake. No double glazed windows so we listened to the buskers until midnight. Staff were very friendly and nice and the hotel was excellent apart from the noise.

We had such a good experience staying at this traditional ryokan in Osaka, right in the heart of the busy Dotonbori area. The location honestly couldn’t be more convenient, everything was just steps away, from food spots to shopping and late-night strolls. Sleeping on futons laid out on tatami mats was surprisingly comfortable and such a memorable experience for us and the kids. The only downside was that because it’s right in the middle of such a lively area, it could get a bit noisy at night, especially with live music nearby. Overall though, it was a fantastic stay. For the experience and unbeatable location, definitely recommend it!

Not very welcoming at reception. Room too hot and needed updating. On hotel information it said we could have Japanese breakfast or western breakfast. When I enquired about having western breakfast I was told since April they were no longer offering it. Very noisy from road outside. Ryokan experience is great but wish we had gone somewhere else.
