A small Buddhist hotel, with nice staff and rooms, albeit a bit small. A 10 minute walk to Shinsekai area, where there are lots of restaurants and amusement arcades. Not flash but kind of fun.

Great breakfast and very helpful staff. Try and get a room away from the road side as can be noisy at time. Would have been nice to see a view from the window instead of frosted glass. Otherwise beautiful room. Lovely PJs

It was a nice and clean hotel, and felt like we got great value out of the room. The staff and meditation activity were great, also tried the breakfast offered and it was quite delicious. The only complaint is really just location in regards to the primary train station. The nearby station almost always requires a transfer and its connection points aren’t the best. This isn’t close to either of the big stations and taxis were pricey because it’s not really close to anything. There’s some cool shopping within 20–25 minutes, which just isn’t quite as convenient as other options. But, again… great service, great value overall.

Wonderful staff happy to help in every way. I was fortunate enough to join their Friday evening meditation class which exceeded expectation. It’s only a small hotel and the window in my room had no views. The location is not exactly central but manageable.

Loved zen vibes and tatami floor. The location is convenient if you like to walk and explore. It takes 10-15min to Tenoji station by foot and there’s shopping malls and lots of restaurants (less tourists which I liked) I would walk to Namba area, it took me maybe 25min. Staff are friendly and helpful. Very clean. Only down side is they don’t have a coin laundry but there is a laundromat 3 min away.

Very nice Buddhist hotel

This hotel has a Buddhist theme. The rooms are Japanese style, clean & very comfortable Staff are very friendly. The only downside was I didn't think the breakfast was quite worth the price but it's good to do once. Finally it seems remote but it really isn't a number of great local places in under 10 mins walk and lots in 20 Recommended
