The breakfast is an absolute highlight. Traditional Japanese style with miso, rice and fish. The room was beautiful with traditional Japanese interior: Tatami-floor, low table, kimono and futon mattresses on the floor The ryokan itself is not the newest, and doesn't look modernised or fancy at all. I guess the bathroom, kitchen and interior is from the 80's or 90's. But it's calm, spacy and clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. We were travelling as a couple. Imazato Ryokan was definitely one of the best places we stayed during our 3 weeks in Japan. The neighborhood is a quiet residencial area. No tourists around, but still very easy to reach in walking distance from Imazato subway station. Please be respectful and friendly :)

Very convenient and safe location, just 4 stations from Namba on the Sennichimae line, and about 5 minutes from Imazato station. Breakfast was fantastic and hand prepared by the friendly owners with unlimited rice with furikake toppings. Sometimes, it would be salmon, other times croquette. Yukata in the rooms were also provided. Tatami rooms were very spacious with bathtub. Futons were so comfortable with many blankets provided, good especially in winter. One of the highlights was the heated multi functional toilet seat! The ceiling lamp could be adjusted to different lighting requirements with just one click.

Nothing

The Ryokan seems to be managed by a family, which gives it a sense of authenticity. The staff was really friendly. The check in can be done late in the evening. The location is close to the metro and is located in a nice residential area, which makes it interesting if you want to move away from the noisy part of the city and get to see how people really live. The breakfast was super complete and served fresh. I would totally recommend this place if you want to experience staying at a Ryokan.

The facility had a bit of a smell of mold or humidity, but it's completely understandable since it is probably an old building.

Lovely little property with good location and great staff! It was everything you would expect of a budget ryokan, such as tatami mats, futon beds and yukata. There isn’t an onsen, naturally, but they do have a heated bath.

As far as I could tell, there was only one shower/bath on the property, although I only had to wait for it to be free once. Also, the futons were very comfortable, but I would have preferred the option of a softer pillow, as the ones provided were rather hard

I liked the homeliness of the place, which is operated by a family. The room I was in was very good with everything I needed. I was able to do my laundry, and even though there is no dryer I could dry my clothing with the hangers provided. Breakfast is an option if you want to experience a Japanese breakfast, and every day is different.

The location is not far from a subway line and train station, but they are not JR and you need to make a transfer or two if you want to reach the main sights in Osaka or around the Kansai region. The duvet of the futon was only 5 ft long, which made it harder for me to sleep as someone not accustomed to it being smaller than me.

The traditional room with tatami and futons was spacious and there were plenty of extra blankets, and a low table with cushions. The kitchen was well equipped with a big fridge, and a cooktop, great if you want to cook something during your stay. The breakfast was really good.

The toilet floor was wet when we arrived and it was accumulating water in a part of it after showers. There were slippers for us to use in there, so it was manageable.

The place was well taken care of and with lots of space; if you travel with a big backpack, you don't have to worry about narrow stairs ;). The bathroom was well equiped and spatious, with stools to sit on during shower. The employees and owners were nice and didn't mind answering questions that I forgot the answers for. Also, if someone is interested in manga, there is a nice collection to read during the stay!

everything clean (didn't use the common shower cabin - which can be locked and everything, don't worry - but it looked super clean too) + cute house with nice people + easy check-in and check-out + comfy and warm futon + useful equipment provided in the room (hair brush, tea pot, TV, etc.) :)

only one toilet upstairs ? :0 also the walls may have been a bit thin because we could hear sound close by, but absolutely nothing serious it was super light

It was very clean, the traditional Japanese breakfast was good(it may not be for everyone). The room was much larger than any other hotel I stayed at while in Japan. It is in a residential area with convenience stores near by and several mom and pop restaurants.

It is slightly on the old side, but everything worked and we were happy with our stay

I liked that the ryokan was only a short walk away from a number of services. The ryokan was located by the train and a number of convenience stores and also a market 20 minutes walking. The ryokan itself had nice amenities and was still providing a nice breakfast experience on top of modern bathrooms and wifi inside a traditional looking room.

The views from the windows weren't that great but it'll be like that when your not inside a 10 floor hotel.
