Very considerate and caring service … I feel joyful n peaceful a lot even just for a one day stay … Recommend 😊

If you love exploring towns on foot, this place is a perfect fit for you. I had already visited Osaka Castle and the Dotonbori River before, so this time I wanted to explore a new area. The Tennoji area, which is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, has many attractions. For example, there's Tsutenkaku (a tower with an observation deck), and the Shinsekai area, which is full of local shops and gives you the feeling of stepping back in time to 40 or 50 years ago. Right next to these areas, there’s a large park that includes a zoo, a museum, and a historical mansion built in the Edo period. Shrines and temples can be found all around as well. The hotel is in a convenient location for walking around these spots. Since the hotel has a Buddhist theme, the interior isn’t luxurious, but it’s neat and clean. The room I stayed in (a superior single) had everything I needed. If you’re traveling with a large suitcase for a week-long trip, you might find it a bit tight to open it fully in the room, but it's spacious enough for 2–3 days' worth of luggage. It was also quiet at night. They provide many free amenities in the room, such as sandals for areas outside the tatami(green in the room photoes) space, a pair of socks, tea bags, a bottle of water, a toothbrush, and more. If you go out at night, note that the entrance door closes at 11 p.m., but you can still enter by tapping your room key on the reader next to the door. However, there is no front desk staff available late at night. I actually wanted to ask about a machine in the room (maybe an air purifier or humidifier) around 11 p.m., and tried calling the front desk, but no one answered. I hope they consider having at least one night staff member available. That was the only point I thought could be improved. As I didn’t add the (vegetarian) breakfast option, I bought some food near Ebisucho Station and kept it in the fridge in my room. There are many restaurants, convenience stores, and delis that stay open late, so you won’t have any trouble finding food. After checking out in the morning, I left my luggage at the hotel and walked to a café about 10 minutes away. I planned to explore the area afterward. I expected cooler weather because it was cloudy, so I wore a long-sleeved shirt, but it got warmer than expected. I decided to go back to the hotel to change clothes. The front desk staff was very kind and showed me to a large restroom where I could take off my shoes and put stuffs— very helpful! Overall, it was a very comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends when they visit Osaka.

Amazing ! Recommended

Place are very peachful. Staff are very friendly and very welcome.

It was good for trip and had special concept.

건물이 너무 예쁘고 내부도 깔끔하고 예뻐서 들어오자마자 기분이 졸았습니다🥰 향기도 너무 좋고요 로비에서 인센스 스틱들도 파는데 일정이 촉박해서 천천히 못 둘러본게 아쉽습니다 하나 사고 싶었는데 내부 다다미방도 깔끔하고 제공하는 잠옷도 편안하고 다 좋아요. 단점은 화장실이 조금 비좁습니다. 비행기 화장실 스타일이에요. 그래도 제공되는 샴푸 린스 바디워시 핸드워시 전부 향도 좋고 욕조도 있는데 미니 사우나 느낌으로 아늑하게 씻을 수 있어 좋았습니다 다음에도 또 가보고 싶어요. 조식을 못먹어봐서 아쉽습니다 역이랑은 조금 거리가 있었던거 같은데 걸어가기엔 충분하고요! 골목골목 지나서 나오는 대로변에 위치해있어서 위치가 아주 좋지는 않은데 그래도 조용해서 좋습니다! 근처 식당 가기에도 가깝고요
