I loved spending a month in the hostel-san's guesthouse! The schedule was pretty convenient to spend the day around Osaka and ideally located 15 minutes from Dotonbori. I also loved walking to Osaka castle and eating in the restaurants around there. the hostel-san is super friendly and so is the guesthouse, and she always has a good recommendation depending on what you want to visit or eat. I also had the opportunity to talk a lot with our guests so this was a really enjoyable stay. Would absolutely recommend to explore Osaka and mostly, the Kansai area. Thank you Misato-san for having me!

This experience truly made my time in Osaka special ! The location of the hostel is great : you can walk to a lot of popular spots, if not the station is 3 minutes away, and there's a lot of nice restaurants nearby. The work is fairly simple and you get to have a lot of free time and meet many new people. You also get your own room which is an added bonus. But what makes it a great stay is the hostel San's kindness (she also has the best restaurant recommendations in all of Osaka !). I wish I could've stayed longer and will make sure to come back on my next trip to Japan.
