Takeyaso Inn

We had a wonderful stay in this historic inn, a beautiful property and convenient location for exploring Amagasaki, Osaka, and Kobe. We will be coming back!

This was a super neat experience! The first night, we were brought cups of Japanese tea! There was a no shoes rule which made the hotel feel cleaner. However, when there was other guests smoking, we did smell it from our non-smoking room. Aside from that, the hotel was a super cool experience, and if I'm ever in Japan again I would 10/10 stay here again!

This ryokan has a lot of character and feels different from a lot of other ones. It's cozy and functional. The area around it is a little boring, but I guess that's better than a noisy neighborhood full of party people.

Takeyaso Inn is a lovely, traditionally inviting 1920's building and super friendly place to stay. Conveniently located a few minutes walk from the trains, buses and shops. Although a little difficult to locate for a novice British traveler to Japan, I would highly recommend it if you're looking for the 'proper' Japanese experience. The owner speaks perfect English, and the staff have a good knowledge too. Staying at Takeyaso felt like a Ghibli movie, with all the charm you would expect. Being welcomed home by friendly staff offering an iced tea upon your return each day was a lovely touch! The rooms are very comfortable (though mind your head if you're tall!) and chatting in the bar with a drink after a bath is the perfect end to a day. The opening hours and curfew may seem inconvenient, but honestly it wasn't a problem for me as I had far too much sightseeing to do as it was. I can simply not sing praises enough. I'll be coming to stay again soon! Arigatou gozaimasu! X
