Ryokans in South Osaka

You never know which one to go with when scrolling through the countless options on the Internet, but we are very glad we stayed at Asukasou. The people were genuinely friendly and helpful and the room was really nice - the best futon I've ever slept on! There is an open air rooftop bath that is a must do if you stay here. Be warned: those travelling with English only may have trouble finding this inn as the sign (I think) was only in Japanese.

Loved my 1st onsen experience. Staff were hugely welcoming, excellent layout of hotel. Loved the Japanese traditional tatami & futon bedroom, complimentary snacks and daily green tea & sweet experience. The 3 onsens where excellent, clean & offered a huge range of toiletries to use. The traditional in room multiple course dinner was amazing with Kobe beef! I would definitely visit again!

The hospitality, the property and the food were exceptional! If you have the opportunity to take the dinner and breakfast option, I would highly recommend it, absolutely fabulous! This is a great property for those wanting to submerge themselves into Japanese culture.

We had a great experience in this hotel. The front desk staff came out from the lobby to give us a warm welcome. He also took us to our room, showed us the hotel facilities and introduced the dinner and breakfast arrangement. Dinner was kaiseki style and it was served in our room. The lady who served our dinner was attentive. She also made our bed after dinner. Breakfast was traditonal style and it was served in the breakfast room. Onsens were quite nice as well and not very crowded. They...

We stayed at this hotel for the final 2 nights of our trip before returning to Australia and we absolutely loved it. The facilities were fantastic, very clean and well looked after. The service was excellent and the room was huge, clean and very well equipped. I have to mention the food, oh my goodness the food was incredible! There was so much to chose from and you could go back as many times as you liked. Yes it is buffet style but as with a lot of places in Japan there were also some chef...

We stayed for one night for the Japanese ryokan experience. Tried the Japanese style set menu - very tasty and great experience (11 courses - very filling ). Some of the staff spoke English which was a great help us us as our Japanese was limited. Our room had an outdoor private bath which was great to soak in after a few hours walking around Nara park. Getting to and from the ryokan was simple as long as you called ahead to book the courtesy shuttle which goes back and forth from the 2 Nara...

View and breakfast quality

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Tocen Goshoboh yesterday and would highly recommend it! We arrived around 2:20 PM, which was over 30 minutes before the official check-in time, but the hotel kindly let us check in early. We booked the Japanese-Style Standard Room with No Shower Room, including breakfast for two, at a very reasonable price of AUD 500. This traditional ryokan has an incredible 800-year history, and you can truly feel the depth of culture in every detail of its design and...

We stayed here for 2 nights, enjoyed every second of it, staff are extremely helpful, they came and pick us up af Arima Onsen station, arrived within 5 minutes of the call, staff welcomed us in the hotel with some small snack and cold tea, whilst the receptionist were explaining everything to us, our luggages were carried to our room. We booked our first private bath, extremely comfortable and private. There are public bathing as well, dinner and breakfast are also served in private dining...

Cutest man at the front counter. So helpful! Goes out of his way to help you. Great location. Good experience all round.

A beautiful, traditional ryokan just a minute's walk from the station. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and efficient and greet you on your return with tea and sweets in your room. The surrounding area is beautiful, with the smell of trees and wood smoke. Amami is a bit of a hike from Osaka city but that just adds to the appeal. The onsen is very relaxing but some may be embarrassed bathing nude in front of others but if you can get over that then it is a fantastic experience. We had no...

Nice little Ryokan. We had a room with private onsen and its spacious and clean. Staff were very helpful.

Good location for the shopping and night life, could be a bit crowded at times. Some of the first floor carpeting looked worn and dark in areas, especially the elevator. The room and bath area and sauna were all good and well maintained with all the amenities that we needed.

Excellent and friendly staff. Made the luggage tranfer to tokyo easy. Loved the ambience and feel. Thank you.
