Shimobuchi Vacations from $1,374

Great for a family or larger group. Clean, all you need and well located (6-7 min walk to Osaka Namba). A few cafes around for breakfast.

Great location between tourist sites but not in a touristy area. Good choices for neighborhood restaurants. It is ideal location and size for family to four. Six is possible but a little tight. Morning run to imperial palace gravel ground is a big plus.

This traditional Japanese Inn is thoroughly modern with excellent facilities, rooms, Michelin quality food, and helpful staff. We want to call out ‘Mikki’ who was super kind and helped us with any language barriers we had. The entire restaurant staff was amazing and we are grateful to meet the chef. The onsens were also wonderful. A room here with breakfast and dinner included is an excellent value.

Room was alright. There was no aircon as it was shutoff intentionally during this time. We were told to open the windows to allow the cool air to draft in. Initially we taught it would be warm but surprisingly it was not. However I felt the air con should be operating.
