Find Ryokans in Osaka, Japan

My friends and I had the most wonderful stay at this perfectly located ryokan. The locationw as what really drove us to choose this place, as the Dotonbori markets are literally a stone's throw away, but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation and service provided at this modest establishment. The staff were very polite and friendly, the Japanese breakfast was a delight and totally worth the cost, and the Onsen provided much needed relief at the end of our busy touristy days. The rooms are spotless, and the river view from the 7th floor was also a great start to our mornings. We have decided to never stay anywhere else if (when) we return to Osaka. What a great experience!

Really cant fault this place for a great experience of real Japanese style Ryokan. Like anything else, first of all it is the people that make this place great. I arrived late afternoon and was checked in by a lovely lady (who spoke a fair bit of English, which is always appreciated) and showed me to my room and explained things (like taking your shoes off etc). Room itself was great, quite large by Japanese standards, and of course basic!.. that's the idea with a ryokan.. Although it had a bathroom (not many rooms come with an on-suite as such, you share a common bathroom, for a really basic experience which I wasn't willing to lol), and my room had the added advantage of a balcony overlooking the canal, lovely to have the green tea which the lady had kindly provided waiting for my arrival. The famous Dotonbori is just the other side of the canal, and its a must to visit, especially in the evening. You really couldn't wish for a better location to explore Osaka. Don't expect a lot of comfort but it is very clean, there's air conditioning, a safe, towels, and even a kimono for you to dress up in and take some pix. I found the experience of sleeping on the mattress on the floor (after putting two mattresses on top of each other, cheating?) not bad at all. Some reviewers have complained about noise but i cant say i was bothered. Probably dead tired after all the walking in the day. On the day I left I was given some very good advice about how to get to Kyoto by the gentleman who I'm guessing is the husband of the lady, he also speaks a very good level of English and couldn't do enough for me. Definitely a fantastic experience, and would go back again.

Holiday in Japan is meaningless without staying at Ryokan, Japanese home style. Before going holiday, we searched so many in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka as our destination to these 3 cities and decided to stay at hotel in Tokyo & Kyoto while as our last day in Osaka for only 1 day staying at Ryokan to avoid can't sleep well. Staying at hotel Tokyo and Kyoto is typical Japan's hotel, small space, hardly can't move for 2 persons and even open 2 luggages, however it's not happened in Wafu Ryokan Uehonmachi! Only 200m distance walk from Osaka Uehonmachi subway St which connected with Tanimachi 9 chrome St subway, we found the small building besides the ramen shop (the same owner with Ryokan). Arrived at 1.30pm, we thought that we only keep the luggages as the check in time in Japan is 3pm, however the owner was letting us in. The room is much bigger than our hotel at Tokyo and Osaka, we can move easily and open 2 luggages as well. Can't find the wifi connection and called the owner, he's helping us fast and well. Definitely will come back in this Ryokan once we're at Osaka, recommended for 3 persons max 😃

The staff and the boss of the hotel are very nice. Notably, we added 1 extra day reservation due to the typhoon and the boss of the hotel offered us with discounted price. In addition, due to the flight schedule resumed sooner than expected after the typhoon, thus, we're leaving at abt 6pm of the last day, and the boss of the hotel realized that we're just staying half day. He/She reduced our rent to one-half for last day proactively. The location for the hotel is quite good, 5mins walking distance to closest metro station. Abt. 10mins walking distance to the Namba station or 15 mins to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi. The rooms, facilities and environment are good and clear. The equipment or overhead necessaries are available. However, plz noted that the hotel is self-service, and you're hard to see the staff / receptionist except they're cleaning your room at the morning abt 10am.
