匠の家 Takumi Stay Umeda Osaka Quiet Stylish Japanese Apartment

The apartment was beautifully clean and welcoming, with absolutely everything provided. It was so easy to feel at home there. The location is so convenient, just a 20 minute walk to the centre of Osaka. We plan on staying here again next time we come to Osaka, and we’re recommending it to everyone.

Probably the best value for money apartment for 2-3 people in Osaka. Very well-equipped with plenty of storage space. Almost everything has English labels and instructions for those who don’t speak Japanese. The washing machine was a nice luxury to have, there was even some detergent and fabric softener for free use. Online check-in was simple and the QR code lock worked without any issues. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Unless you take the not-so-frequent bus, you have to walk some distance (~1 km) to the nearest train station. Nothing unbearable, just a little bit uncomfortable with luggage.

The overall convenience: The bath with the automatic options, the hygienic products offered, the washing machine. The balcony was also nice and the tatami floor area. The location was also perfect as we could directly walk to the osaka station and always walked past the umeda sky building. We encountered the LIFE supermarket too late, but it was also an amazing place to live directly next to. The bed light was also nice!

As there are tourists staying there and it was our first accommodation in Japan, it would have been great to know, what activities would be too loud in the apartment as there was the notice with quiet hours. For example: The washing machine seemed too loud to use in the evening, but would the ventilation of the bath be too loud? Would watching the TV be too loud? Should the balcony door be closed when talking? That would be great to know also for future tourists so they can behave appropriately :) And I would have loved a bigger pillow, but that's just personal preference I suppose.
