It’s a bit of a walk from the train station, though there’s also a bus you can take and is only 220 yen👍👍 The bed was a bit hard for me personally, though I was able to get a good nights sleep anyway.

The owner is entirely too kind for his own good🥰 He offered to take me to the train station a few times. It was extremely helpful, especially the last day as I was running late due to my own time miscalculation 😅 It has the feel of a homestay as he likes to talk and eat together when possible. And I was very appreciative of the refrigerator and the power outlet in my room☺️

The bathroom was a little dirty.

Very friendly older gentleman who runs this place. He even feeds you breakfast sometimes. He genuinely wants you to feel welcome amd I think he enjoys the company.

Location wasn’t my favorite.

This is more shared home living. The host has a full kitchen and split up the house into tiny rooms to make it rentable. The host is also very hospitable.

Everything was good.

The owner is a very nice, friendly man with a lovely dog called Rashi!

I liked it a lot, but writing probable pain points here to help you decide: - old, not the cleanest (sufficient for me) - japanese-style walls that let snoring through - tobacco smoke indoors if other guests do so - early wakeup just from breakfast preparation noise - bit of a walk from the station

Place feels like home, laid-back atmosphere. Wonderful owner, full of personality and tries to help out as he can despite not speaking much english. Drove me and another guest out for sushi in a nearby place. Breakfast included, kickstarts the day nicely. 7-11 nearby. Cute dog. Washing clothes possible. AC works (important!). Wifi works. I recommend.

A little bit hard to find from the station.

Nice cosy little house. Good host.

The house was not that clean.

The host and his dog were lovely and he made us breakfast (eggs, toast, banana) which was really kind! There were other people staying in the house and I had breakfast with them too which was lovely:) It is good for the price and it took me about 25 mins walk from Takatsuki Station. It's also so close to a convenience store so that was perfect too.

The owner is very nice. He make sure we have comfortable stay and even offered to pick and drop us off at the station. He even took us to genki sushi restaurant before we leave.

A little bit far from train station (15min walk) BUT from there you can go to Kyoto or Osaka within less than 20minutes with express train. Don't expect too much privacy, this is a small house and wall are sliding doors

Real japanese house (4 or 5 different rooms for guests) Adorable "ojiisan" host, you can have nice conversation thanks to translator (he speaks few words in english tho) Breakfast prepared every morning

Location is in outskirts of Osaka and quite far from the nearest train station, not really recommended if the stayer brings a suitcase or many luggage.

The owner is really giving his heart out for this homestay. The room is very comfortable. Breakfast included😊. The stay was really worth the money, would come again if had another chance to Osaka.

The door to my room was textured glass that did not block out light or sound. I would've preferred to sleep in a dark, completely quiet room.

I was provided 2 fried eggs, two thick slices of toast with butter, and a banana for breakfast. I was also offered coffee and a sausage.

The bed and the pillows didn't have any sheets on them. Which made the bed and pillow itchy. The room was very hot and stuffy. There were no windows. The sealed room next to where I stayed, had an air-conditioner (my room did not have an air-conditioner. Nor did I share one). About two or three times an hour, that air-conditioner would make a very loud shaking noise which woke me up every single time. I did not get to sleep at all during my stay. By midnight, I already wanted to leave. As I knew that I was not going to get any sleep staying there. By three in the morning I couldn't stand staying there anymore, so I took all my belongings and left at three in the morning. I had to wait in the streets until five in the morning for the trains to start running again. I didn't want to stay here. I stayed in many places in Japan, this is probably the most expensive place I stayed in for a weekend stay. Unfortunately, I can not recommend this place. Also, this place only has a cash payment option at your arrival. So, no refunds through Booking.com. I don't imagine you will get a refund in the morning if you stay the entire night and have any complaints to the owner. Or maybe you will. I don't know. 3/10 stars.

Umeno-san was very kind and friendly. We enjoyed every conversation and loved his beautiful dog. The breakfast was delicious and once he got us natto to try (it was good!). The rooms were comfortable and clean. The bathroom had all we needed. It was a very pleasant experience. Thank you very much, Umeno-san!

Clean and comfortable Japanese house with all facilities you will need as if you’re home. Near to station around 15 minutes walk and just next to 7/11 convenience store. The owner has great hospitality and sense of humor, he makes sure that you’re comfortable, besides he is very kind and friendly, he invited me to dinner and sometimes brought me Bento for dinner at the hotel. Also he offered me rides with his car. The breakfast is delicious and is more than enough. WiFi is fast. I became friends with one of the residents as well.

The owner of the house was very helpfull and at time's he was waking me up a bit early to have breakfast but I can not complain, I tend to wake up late anyways so it was for the better. He also has a very cute dog that likes to play and his dog is very well taken care of! (Perhaps spoiled) over all it was a very good choice to stay here, and there aren't any foreigners around so that was nice as well!

Far from the station with no pickup, small house not really clean especially the bathroom, no living room, thin walls. He did not really try to communicate with me and when he did he was a bit rude.

Cute dog, breakfast is fine but a bit repetitive
