Ryokan review Osaka||||We stayed here for four nights while exploring Osaka and surrounds. The room while small did have adequate space for four (including two teenage boys), had a private toilet, bath and shower, TV, a fridge and heating. Our room on the fourth floor was easily accessible by elevator, but watch out it, the doors don't back off from closing and it can hurt if you get caught in the door. We had a very friendly reception on arrival and a tour of facilities including how to put on a yukata, you don't need to take your shoes off until you get to your own room here. The room was serviced every day and we got clean bedding and yukata as well.

Nothing relaxes you more than a hot bath after a long day at Osaka. ||The location is very good. Dotombori and Shinsaibashi suji are literally right next to the location and there is Den Den town 5min walk away for anime and otaku goods. The location also means that there are loads of places to eat and of course, you can take a subway to get where ever you might want to go. ||Overall it was a good experience. However, don't expect anything too fancy. It is an old hotel, with old feel to it but it is a good place for...
