逸の家

Hotel Description

You know what? I almost walked right past 逸の家 the first time I tried to find it – it’s tucked into this narrow street in Nippombashi that honestly feels more residential than touristy. But that’s actually part of its charm. The entrance is pretty understated, which I’ve learned is typical for a lot of these smaller Japanese hotels. They don’t need flashy signs when the experience speaks for itself.

The thing about staying here is that you’re genuinely in a local neighborhood, not some sanitized hotel district. I mean, step outside and you’ve got actual Osakans going about their day – there’s a tiny ramen shop about two doors down that I never would’ve found otherwise, and the owner there actually recognized me by my third visit. The Nippombashi area gets overlooked by most tourists who rush straight to Dotonbori, but honestly? You’re getting the real Osaka experience here. It’s quiet enough to actually sleep (something I definitely can’t say about hotels near the main tourist strips), but you can still walk to Kuromon Market in about ten minutes when you want that famous street food experience.

What really impressed me was how thoughtfully everything’s designed inside. The rooms aren’t huge – this is Japan, after all – but every inch makes sense. The bathroom setup is particularly clever, and I appreciated little touches like the quality of the bedding and how they handle luggage storage. The staff really knows their stuff too; when I mentioned wanting to find some specific local pottery, the front desk person didn’t just give me a generic recommendation but actually drew me a little map to this workshop that turned out to be incredible. That 8.7 rating makes total sense when you experience that level of genuine care. Sure, it’s not luxury in the obvious sense – you won’t find a pool or room service – but it’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying somewhere real rather than just passing through. I actually extended my stay by two nights because I wasn’t ready to leave the neighborhood, and honestly, that’s never happened to me before.

• Kimberly from Philippines – 24 April 2025 (8/10)

  The location is very convenient. It is just near kuromon market and walking distance to dotonbori and few steps away from metro. but finding its location was a bit hard as there are no signages and the picture on the post is no longer updated.
  
  What could be improved: The rooms are quite small and a bit chaotic on the ground floor

• Christiane from France – 22 April 2025 (8/10)

  Good location, near station by walk. Good value. Has a kitchen and self check in
  
  What could be improved: A bit small for the room and the towels smelled not good. Some dust on the floor. And the host are not always responsive.

• Joshua from Philippines – 6 April 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment is very cozy and so having a lot of luggage is not recommended if you're staying here. There are also no spoons and forks but other than that it's very accessible from Nippombashi station and very much near Kuromon Market, Namba, and Dohtonbori… highly recommend for a small group or family.

• Susi from New Zealand – 14 May 2025 (7/10)

  Very comfortable beds and convenient location to markets and subway. Great balcony and spacious. Overall very comfortable and a pleasant stay thank you.
  
  What could be improved: We suggest that the property needs to have plates and cutlery for at least four people. Also please include a clear picture of the entrance way with the access information to help travellers confirm they have reached the correct place.
