Homestays in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

I can understand not being able to open windows but the second window was frosty without being able to see outside. This hotel does not feel like a Japanese hotel at all. The so called ”sub-manager” with a shiny stone necklace around his neck and no uniform totally ignored my smile as I came back. When I asked if the umbrella was okay to borrow he barely even looked at my direction mumbling something. The staff members do not seem to wear uniforms or professional attire...which collar necklace confirms. You have a private room but cannot eat or drink in your own room?!! I remember about this happening in Chinese culture countries such as Singapore or Taiwan. Operating company is a ”Singapore” company.. so it makes sense. The sign would not be here if the company operated by a truly Japanese company.

The room is relatively big for a Japan apartment, enough for 2 pax but gets a little squeezy for travellers with 2 luggage. The water temperature is a little frustrating though, as it gets hot and cold randomly and takes awhile for it to turn from cold to hot. The toilet is not to our liking, it’s yellowish in color and just doesn’t feel clean. Other than that, everything else is relatively ok.

This location was my last of my trip in japan and it left me a very good impression. I got to talk with various types of people and the owner is very friendly too. He is very efficient in the way he manages this hostel and it is admirable. As per usual, hostels in japan really never disappoint, the layout of this hostel is like living in an actual Japanese house remodelled into a co-living space for 10, you can tell from the kitchen and the bathroom, it was clean, very lovely and homey. There is also a very nice nearby park where many locals do their routines like cycling, running, camping. It was very enjoyable to observe the lifestyle there, I also went to the onsen 18 minutes away by walking. I would say this location is a lovely experience especially for understanding a little of the local's every day life. Plus, a great stay to meet all sorts of travellers. And the owner is lovely to talk to, I love it here, I'll come back again if I can! The tomato theme is just part of the appeal! Aesthetic and comfortable, there's a tomato room at lv3 haha he said over 100+ tomato themed collections!

Stayed here as a solo traveller and first time using capsule hotel. I picked this place because of the good reviews and because its women only which felt safe. The capusle bed itself was decent size, although it did get hot sometimes (visisted April 24-26) but it had everything else! They provided cute pjs, tea/coffee, toiletries, towel etc so I did not need to bring too much. It was about a 14 mins walk to the main Nanba station but it wasn't a problem for me. Self check-in and check-out was easy, my room was quiet even with 4-6 girls (I am a light sleeper so I was worried I would not be able to sleep but I did manage to get some winks).

The unit is super clean and complete, all that me and my daughter need are already here. Free WiFi, can even airplay the Tv with mobile phone for a better screen. Bed is sizeable for 2 people , and extra pull out sofa just in case added member. Shoe racks , big wardrobe, toiletries compete, kitchen utensils , pots and pans, rice cooker, microwave , kettle and washing machine are all new and easy to use. Life supermarket is only 5 minutes walk away. We never took the Metro, the place is basically in the central of places we wanted to go by foot within 30 minutes circumference. We had a wonderful taste of living locally.👍👍

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, this seaside inn in a small coastal town in Japan is a perfect choice. Nestled right along the shoreline, the view from the room was absolutely breathtaking—especially at sunrise, when the sky turns into a canvas of soft pastel colors reflected on the calm sea.

really enjoyed our stay here! the location was probably the best part — literally a few minutes’ walk to ebisucho station and right next to tsutenkaku tower, with lots of restaurants, convenience stores and shops around. super convenient for exploring osaka. 🤍 the room was clean, comfortable and had enough space for our luggage. staff were also really friendly and helpful. the only downside was that the bathroom was quite small, but honestly, that’s pretty common with hotels in japan 😅 overall, a really good stay for the price. would definitely consider staying here again if i’m back in osaka!

Not far from Shinsaibashi, and dining options are convenient. Check-in is self-service; you just scan the QR code at the front desk. For check-out, simply inform the cleaning staff on the first floor. No accommodation tax is charged.

An excellent apartment that I would absolutely stay again. Spacious enough for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The whole process is hands-free and entry is all via access codes, so you need to read the instructions that are emailed to you and there are no cards or keys to lose. It's really clean, and very modern inside. It has fast internet with Wifi as well as Wired included in the room which is rare. The metro station is just around the corner as well as the JR station and there is a small but convenient 7-11 opposite. It has everything you should possibly need included the washing machine (which they even provided washing powder) and there is a drying rack that you can place on the balcony to dry your clothes. It's far enough away from the centre to avoid the touristy part of the city, but close enough with the metro to take 10-15 mins to be in the heart of the bright lights, shopping and usual tourist traps.

The room we got was a double futon on the east room upstair, as we love the traditional Japanese style. The small space has all the convenient with shared space in common area, small kitchen, bathroom and washer and dryer in the same room. Everything were tidy and functionally used all the space avail. Great water pressure and temp for the shower. The host thought of everything and provided every information avail for us tourist to use. Distance is not too far from Rinku-town station. Only cons (out of everyone control) the stair leading to the station has no elevator, which will be challenging for people with large suitcase. We are light traveler, which is not too bad for our case. Overall, great little space and affordable, short ride to Kansai Airport and save time traveling to the airport, which is a great plus since security check in at Kansai may take up to 90 mins to get through.
