Nestled in the heart of Osaka, Kaneyoshi Ryokan offers a unique blend of traditional Japanese hospitality and modern comfort. With its prime location along the vibrant Dotonbori area, this ryokan serves as the perfect base for exploring the bustling streets filled with neon lights and culinary delights. Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of the river flowing by, a serene contrast to the lively atmosphere just outside your door.

 The ryokan's retro, Showa-era charm is palpable, with tatami floors and futons that invite you to unwind after a day of adventure. Guests rave about the spacious rooms, which provide a cozy retreat amidst the city's hustle and bustle.

While Kaneyoshi Ryokan does not have an on-site restaurant, its location means you are just steps away from some of Osaka's best dining options. From street food stalls serving up takoyaki and okonomiyaki to upscale sushi restaurants, the culinary scene here is vibrant and diverse. Don't miss trying the local specialty, kushikatsu, skewered and deep-fried to perfection, paired with a refreshing glass of local sake.

 For dessert, indulge in fluffy, sweet dorayaki, a pancake sandwich filled with red bean paste, perfect for a post-meal treat.

Kaneyoshi Ryokan features communal baths that provide a tranquil escape after a day of exploring. Guests often find themselves soaking in the warm waters, surrounded by a calming ambiance, especially during quieter hours in the evening.

 The staff is known for their exceptional hospitality, always ready to share tips on local attractions and hidden gems.

Situated in Chuo Ward, Kaneyoshi Ryokan is just a short walk from iconic landmarks such as the Dotonbori Canal and the famous Glico Man sign. Guests can easily explore the bustling shopping streets of Shinsaibashi and the historic Osaka Castle, making it an ideal spot for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers.

 It is renowned for its traditional Japanese ambiance, spacious rooms, and exceptional hospitality.

 The ryokan offers a unique experience blending traditional Japanese culture with modern amenities, making it a perfect getaway.

 Guests can easily visit Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, and Osaka Castle, all within walking distance.

Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or an adventure in the heart of Osaka, Kaneyoshi Ryokan is the perfect choice. Book your stay today and immerse yourself in the rich culture and hospitality of Japan.

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.

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 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.

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.
