This hotel was a nice piece of traditional in a big city. It’s right on the dotombori so if you like the night life scene, this is perfect for you. We didn’t do breakfast since we left early everyday but I’m sure it would have been delicious.

Loved the traditional Japanese hotel set up,,,was great to put on a traditional yakata and have tea. Staff was very helpful and went ubove board to make our stay enjoyable,even let us leave our luggage after our check out so we could walk around Osaka more without carrying it everywhere.

Wonderful Stay
IT was a stone throw to Dotonbori. Rooms are fairly price with superb location. As i have 3 kids 14, 11 and 6, i was only able to make booking for 1 adult and 1 kid for total 2 rooms. But was charge at the counter when checking in for additional headcount for my 6 yo kid as i was not able to include 2 Adults 3 kids on the website at the beginning. Other than that all esle was good especially the proximity to places. Also the place opposite plays some loud music till 12.30 or 1am. So if you are light sleeper then may have to think twice.

Spacious authentic Japanese room with tatami floor. Nice view at the donbudori river. The staff are friendly. The Japanese breakfast was fantastic. Sound proof with wasn't too good as we can hear the next door alarm and the music from bars though it didn't bother me to sleep.

The service staffs are very friendly. One staff even printed a copy of train direction and slot it under the door while we were sleeping! The room’s big for 2 people and the futon was so comfortable. Will definitely stay at this place again next time!

The staff was extremely helpful, going out of their way to speak English with us, a wonderful gesture since my wife and my Japanese still needs work. The room was clean and neat with a great view of the river. The beds however, traditional futons on the floor, we’re incredible. We had the best sleep of the entire trip on those futons, without exaggeration. They were warm and soft and supporting at the same time. My wife asked if we could get some at home… The are around the hotel was a little dirty, but we also stayed here through Halloween, and the partying was insane on the streets, so of course I don’t fault the hotel for any of that. Next time we visit Osaka, we’ll definitely be staying here again.

We loved this ryokan very much. It is right in the center of things, we had a balcony overlooking the Dontonbori River, and it was just beautiful at night. We could walk everywhere. It is a family run business and their hospitality was wonderful, especially thier daughter Kahori who spoke excellent English and was super friendly and helpful. We checked out the onsen upstairs, and it looked inviting and very clean, there is one for men, another for women, but we had no timeto use them. If we go back to Osake one day we will stay here again. Oh, and we did not get their breakfast as Wwe read that it was typical Japanese, so we walked two blocks and had the buffet at the Holiday Inn. However, maybe next time we will try their breakfast, I am sure it is good too.

We enjoyed staying at property. It was very clean and the floor mattress was surprisingly comfortable. Our room overlooks the Dotonbori river and is in the heart of Osaka, walking distance to shopping, market, restaurants and train stations. The area was so lively and colorful.

Stay on the canal!
Fantastic location, especially with the view of the canal. Loved the spaciousness and feel of the room. It was my first time staying in a ryokan and I loved it. Staff was helpful with their limited English. Only downsides were some concerns about security (have to leave key with desk, no deadbolt or bar inside door), the light and noise from the windows, and the quality of the 6th floor bath -- kinda dingy. And the towels so small and flimsy for big American bodies! But the room and the location was so great, would happily stay again.

The whole experience was great! Our stay in this Ryokan was an overall great experience. The location is perfect as it is so close to Dotunburi. You are overlooking the river from your room. The owner was so kind and so accommodating. We will definitely stay in this place again when we go back to Osaka. This place is Highly recommended.

This hotel is friendly, clean and so very nicely situated in the centre of the city. Food is everywhere in abundance ans staff super friendly. The only minus point is the WIFI which is very slow. Further, a highly recommended place to stay

The good thing is that Kaneyoshi Ryokan is right in the middle of everything. The bad thing (if you are not a late-night person) is that the middle of everything in Osaka stays pretty loud rather late. So you take the bad with the good. The staff is very friendly and accomodating, doing everything possible to make our stay-and subsequent travel-as smooth as possible, and the hotel is clean. Note: check-out is on the early side (10:00).

Great hidden jem
A true ryokan experience. It is located on the Dotombori, and 3 minutes walk from the metro station. Also a 5 minute walk from the Kumoron market. Staff is friendly, room is specious, and has Japanese decor. Tatami floor, paper sliding doors, a porch with view to the river and mattresses on the floor. Plenty more in the closet, so I was able to add one for my old back...They bring you tea and water to the room, and a yacata to wear. Very relaxing. Enjoyable stay.

Cozy room but curfew policy.
Very good experience. The staff was very helpful and polite. The only thing that I didn't care for was the 1am curfew, but the area is filled with bars and adult entertainment businesses. On the weekends, the bar noise last until 2am. The room was exactly what was advertised, and felt like an authentic japanese style room. I would book this hotel again.

Location is fantastic being central to the Dotonbori area, walk out the front door and you are in the midst of the rush! It is easy to access being close to a couple of stations, we used the Namba Station, but Nippombashi is also close. Our room was relatively spacious and had everything we needed. The space was divided into various areas (entry, bathroom, main area and 'sun room') which was refreshing having just stayed at a couple of very, very small apartments. The room was clean and comfortable and everyday staff put fresh cold and hot water, tea and a snack of sorts in the room; a nice homely touch. We had a room overlooking the Dōtonbori canal which was nice to look over. The window opened to let in fresh air (good) but without the window open it did get a bit stuffy. Also, while we had a non smoking room, smoking is permitted in areas close by and at times you could still smell the smoke. The staff were very friendly and willing to help. The staff we interacted with had good English which was extremely helpful considering our limited Japanese! Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Love that the hotel is close to every place I wanted to go in Osaka like Dotombori, Kuromon, Doguyasuji, Shinsaibashi. We had late afternoon flight back and check out time was 10am. They let us leave our luggages so we can do more shopping or sight seeing and lunch before we take our bus to the airport. Safekeeping usually costs Y500 per bag in other places but they didn’t charge us any. The hotel is 2 minutes walk to the bus terminal.
