Hostel Caranashi offers free WiFi throughout the property and rooms with air conditioning in Osaka. The property is set 1.3 km from Miyuki-dori Shopping Street, 1.4 km from Miyuki-no-Mori Tenjin-gu Shrine and 1.5 km from Ansenji Temple. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests.

Very friendly host with some broken English, but we could still understand each other thanks to body language and translating app ;-) The Japanese style room matched the pictures. The lounge as well as the kitchen have been lovingly furnished which I didn't use them much. Daily one free water bottle is a plus. You can even buy beer from the mini bar and there are some ramen to buy. The location is also great. Not in a crowded touristy area, but still you can access to major stations (Tsuruhashi, Namba) quickly from Imazato. Bear in mind to take the Kintetsu line to the Imazato train station, not metro. There are some 24h convenience stores in the area to grab some food/drink anytime, and also a bakery if you want to eat breakfast there. If you travel in the summer, consider to regularly turn on the air conditioner as sometimes the high room temperature can be unbearable.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Amazing hostel! Very clean with kind and helpful staff. Dormitory was spacious, quiet, and clean. I loved that no shoes were allowed in the dorms. Common room is huge with a great kitchen.
