Chuo-ku Soemon-cho 3-12 , Dotonbori, 542-0084 Osaka, Japan

Overview

Situated in the popular Dotonbori district of Osaka, Kaneyoshi Ryokan is a historic property that offers a traditional stay in the heart of urbanity. Its exteriors betray no signs of a ryokan hiding behind a rather plain modern facade, however, the interiors show all the signs of traditional Japanese aesthetics. The property even has a large communal bath, and yukata and towels will be provided in the rooms.

The ryokan embraces modernity with its co-working space, however, even this space is entirely done up in tatami mats. Tables and counter spaces are available as well, or you can just lounge on one of the beanbag chairs! Book a room at Kaneyoshi Ryokan for an authentically Japanese stay in the heart of Osaka, and read on for more details on this unique accommodation!

History

Kaneyoshi Ryokan was founded in 1919 during the Taisho era and the rooms and public bath are indicative of its history.

Design and Architecture

The rooms follow traditional Japanese design choices and are fitted with tatami mats, chabudai, tatami chairs, futons, and shoji sliding doors. The public bath is fitted with Showa-era wall tiles, adding another touch of history! The co-working space doesn't shy away from traditions either with tatami floors and shoji screen windows. There's a huge painting of Mount Fuji here, and towards the other end of the room is a space fitted with large chabudai tables where you can work.
