Kaneyoshi Ryokan

Kaneyoshi Ryokan was an amazing surprise with wonderful hospitality and welcoming staff. We enjoyed the spacious room with traditional design. The breakfast was a great experience of traditional Japanese cuisine. Everyone were smiling and gracious and we had a wonderful and relaxing time.

Kaneyoshi Ryokan was a very comfortable and cozy place to stay in the heart of Dotonbori. About a 6 minute walk to Kintensu-Nipponbashi station and about 10 minutes to Namba Station (Namba Station has a whole Underground mall so you can walk to the main station thru there with Aircon). The room was spacious and the bathroom was so clean and water pressure was nice! They have house keep everyday from 7am-12am. Futons were comfy enough and air conditioning in the room was great! Fridge needed time to boot up, but once it cooled up it was good to go. View from balcony area was right in front of the Canal boat tour stand. Although i couldn’t go into the onsen because of my tattoos, i still wear the yukata they provided. Staff was very helpful with everything. They helped me with my luggage forwarding to my next accommodation and also helped me with calling another hotel i was staying at about some special assistance I needed from them. My partner also appreciated the Designated Smoking area. All in all, it was a nice place to stay and would recommend if you want something that’s not a hotel.

Kaneyoshi Ryokan was the ideal base for exploring Osaka. The location is unbeatable—right in the center, with a stunning view of the river in a quieter part of Dotonbori. It almost felt too good to be true! One of my favorite things about this ryokan was its retro, Showa-era charm. If you love that aesthetic, you’ll adore this place. Everything was spotlessly clean, and we slept wonderfully on the futons in an incredibly spacious room—especially by Japanese standards. The onsen was another highlight. Around 5 PM, it was completely empty, making it the perfect place to relax after a long day of walking. Lastly, the staff was fantastic—always helpful and ready to answer any questions. The man at the front desk even gave us great tips for both Osaka and Kobe! If you’re looking for a well-located, nostalgic, and comfortable stay in Osaka, this ryokan is a great choice.

This is a nice traditional stay in the heart of Dotonbori and Namba and it's very close to Namba station. The room itself is a traditional style with the most comfortable futon style bed, the bathroom is clean and the room was so spacious, and has a seating area which overlooks the river and crowds. However it can get a bit noisy as it is in the main area of Osaka but I didn't mind for my short stay. It's walking distance to many places to eat, shops, 7elevens and main areas of Dotonobori.

Large rooms with a balcony with a river view. Very comfortable futons. Tea pots, tea and little complimentary cookie in the room. Very friendly staff speaking English. Coffee and tea in the lobby . Good traditional Japanese breakfast.
