“Comfortable stay in a traditional yet modern apartment.”

It was really beautiful. A really nice mix between modern and traditional. The room was lovely and so comfortable. The staff were also really lovely.

“Incredible, I would choose it as a permanent residence if I could...”

Incredible location, far enough from the buzzing Osaka city landscape, but close enough and easily accessible through the HK tramline. The hosts were amazing, foreign friendly and always trying to accommodate my every need. I was very happy to have opted for the breakfast included option, it was the best thing I have started my days with in a long time: delicious, nutritious and healthy. The room was everything I have hoped for and more. It was my first time experiencing sleeping in a futon on tatami and it was so worth it. Loved it so much! The simplicity used in the room arrangement and decoration is a plus, both aesthetic and practical. I promised myself to come back to Sakai and Sakainoma in my next trip to Japan! I wish I can elevate my Japanese knowledge till next time so I can interact more with the hosts and maybe participate to the events they hold in the cafe area. The music and atmosphere I experienced during my stay proved once again that Japanese people really know how to have fun and spend quality time in the company of true art and beauty.

Nanako very Kind and Warm Thank you so much

Beautiful traditional Japanese room with garden view. Exactly like in pictures. Clean facilities, it was all very spacious. The neighbourhood had some good bars and restaurants.

“Wonderful traditional small Sakai Inn”

Lovely tiny inn at the back of a cafe on one of Sakai's main boulevards - about 10min walk from the (Nankai, airport line) train station, and 10-15min walk from the craft museum and lots of knifesmiths. A smallish entertainment area with lots of small restaurants across the road. The tram to Tennoji in Osaka stops 100m away. All in all, a perfect location in a lovely old house in a town that looks a bit generic at first. The inn is traditional style, so tatami, futon on the floor (which I knew but had to get used to again, they can be a bit hard if you are used to Western style beds). Small shower and toilet, separately , Japanese style, spotlessly clean, and a very pleasant cafe out front. I presume many people come to Sakai for the knives (like me) of the kofun. For knifes and old town area it is very well located, for the kofun, it's a fair hike/bus trip of at least an hour. HAd I had more time I would have hired bicycles at the tourist information at the train station (Nankai) because SAkai, as the home of Shimano, is just made for cycling!

The cafe itself was very lovely, and the staff very helpful and attentive. Really nice Japanese breakfast. The room was small but very authentic with tatami mats etc

“Lovely, comfortable stay.”

The service was great! I was a bit too late for my check-in, but the host kindly came back as quick as possible to help me get in the house. It was such a beautiful room and everything was nice and clean. Unfortunately I came in very late and had to leave early in the dark the next morning, so I could not enjoy the nice little garden. The lights in front of the building were very welcoming though!

“Cozy room in the heart of Sakai”

Location plus room was cozy .

“Very nice stay”

The Japanese style room was nice and very clean. The breakfast was good.
