Kaneyoshi Ryokan

Kaneyoshi Ryokan was the ideal base for exploring Osaka. The location is unbeatable—right in the center, with a stunning view of the river in a “quieter” part of Dotonbori. It almost felt too good to be true! One of my favorite things about this ryokan was its retro, Showa-era charm. If you love that aesthetic, you’ll adore this place. Everything was clean, and we slept wonderfully on the futons in an incredibly spacious room—especially by Japanese standards. The baths were another highlight. Around 5 PM, it was completely empty, making it the perfect place to relax after a long day of walking. Lastly, the staff was fantastic—always helpful and ready to answer any questions. The man at the front desk even gave us great tips for both Osaka and Kobe! If you’re looking for a well-located, nostalgic, and comfortable stay in Osaka, this ryokan is a great choice.

The Hotel is beautiful with a view over the canal. It's japanese style interior with tatami mats is cozy. You can acces the market street and its a really beautiful neighbourhood with lot's of people and culture. The breakfast is diliceouse and traditionel japanese style, with rice, tea, fish and alot more.

Very central location with rooms overlooking the river. Free luggage storage after check out (until 5pm). Very friendly staff from reception to breakfast and checkout. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Located right on Dotonburi, you have access to all sorts of food, shopping, and a station. Room was enough to fit 4 lads with luggage and had a nice place to lounge while looking at the street and river. Hosts were very good at check-in and gave good advice on places we were traveling to and was able to communicate in different languages. Common bath upstairs was great to use winding down a long day of walking and prepared us for our visit to another set of hot springs.

I booked for tatami room. The location is right on the river across from Dotonbori. We really enjoyed our stay.

I stayed here during my stay on Dotonbori. Definitely one of the best ryokan in the area. The staff are the absolute sweetest, down to earth, and very kind. Their hospitality is absolutely amazing! Very clean rooms and is equipped with an indoor onsen (separated for male and female). Authentic room set up with tatami floors and futtons. I will never forget being wished well by one of the staff as we exited. Almost brought a tear to my eyes, was a very touching moment indeed and made me feel not wanting to leave.

Comfy. People on the front desk were very nice and helpful ! The road is noisy at night but not enough to bother us.

Great location on a tourist street, so it could be a little noisy during the evenings outside. Service is exceptional, and everything you need is in the room. The staff is very friendly! Be aware the front desk works until 1 AM. There are a lot of great places, such as bars and shops close to the hotel. You can get to most tourist places in Osaka such as the oceanarium and Osaka Castle in around 40 minutes by subway. There are western and Japanese style rooms and private baths you can use. Overall, a great place to stay during your trip to Osaka.
