Harper House

It is a 3 storey building with no elevator so if you have heavy luggage and are staying on floor 2 or 3 you will need to carry it up the stairs. Washing machine and drying function in the bathroom was fantastic.

I really wanted to stay in a Ryokan whilst in Japan however for my skin conditions I am a little wary with shared bathrooms, so this was perfect for me. Although a little further out from the busy busy Namba and Umeda areas I really appreciated the calmness after returning from Dotonburi on a night time. Very easy metro transfer from Shin-Osaka, travelling on the Midosuji line the connecting train to Kishinosato is the same platform. Well connected with both Kishinosato and Tengachaya metro stations a stones throw away. 24 hour Lawson also very close. For those who prefer quiet and firm matress to sleep you couldn't get any better than the sleeping arrangement. It may be a little crowded for 4 people, but very suitable for 2. Very clean, and reassuring that the property is licenced to host holiday rentals.
