Surprised to see few reviews for this listing. It is a traditional Japanese home that has been remodeled with Western amenities. To start, the location was great, close to both the Fuse station (7 min walk) which takes you directly to Dotonbori and a quick transfer to Shinsekai and JR Kawachi-Eiwa station (12 min walk) which takes you directly to Shin-Osaka if you are taking advantage of the JR Pass. The house has an open layout and can comfortably accommodate 8 guests. We also had two children with us, so the bunk bed in the upstairs room was a great touch. There are two toilets and two baths which is rare to find in traditional Japanese homes, so that was also a great feature of the property. Kazemoto-san also had plenty of thoughtful amenities that we took advantage of, such as the umbrellas, pocket wifi and outdoor slippers. He also had a bike, but we did not use this. I do caution that the stairs to the second floor are quite steep, so that could take some getting used to, but there is a support beam and two double beds on the first floor for those who might find the climb a bit difficult. Lastly, Kazemoto-san was a very responsive host and made the experience staying at his home very seamless and enjoyable! We hope to stay with him again on our next visit to Osaka. Thank you again!

The unit was located in a nice area and semi quiet. Not far from the train station. It had shopping and restaurants within walking distances. Had a portable wifi so you had an extra to take with you if needed. For 4 residents it was lacking in towel quality and supply, the showers were good also being a western style. Having two bathrooms was a bonus. The unit has plenty of room for sleeping with the upstairs location. A couple of the doors are low as many residences in Japan so careful if tall. If not limber or elderly I would take caution on the stairs as they are very steep and not code as per North America standards. We enjoyed Osaka when we were there.

Property was clean and as in pictures. I would recommend it to friends.
