Accommodations in Minoo

The property is exceptionally beautiful with a panorama view of the Osaka Bay delta plain... It is only about 30 minutes from downtown Osaka, and yet totally surrounded by woods and especially Japanese maple, for which this area is famous. The hotel is 70's chic minimalist Japanese architecture. It has a fireplace in the lobby, and an authentic Japanese rustic feel. There is nothing like this location and architecture and the building designed for optimal viewing of the valley below anywhere else in the Kansai area. If you like authentic Japanese inn's, this is it. The food was delicious authentic seasonal Japanese food. I appreciated that the chef/hotel accommodated my requests for foods that I was unable to eat.

I like everything about the house. Clean and modern. Thanks to the host who gave us a basket of refreshments and a bottle of wine to enjoy during our stay. That's very thoughtful of him. I highly recommend this accommodation.

It’s a traditional Japanese family home. Small but really comfortable. The washer was easy to use and plenty of extra blankets and pillows. A/C worked great. House was easy to find on Google maps and its a 14 min walk to the Osaka monorail or Subway through some nice peaceful neighborhoods. Its in a quiet area of town. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They communicated fast on Whatsapp. I stayed there with my son and good friend from years ago. Plenty of space for 2 adults and a child. A smaller room could easily fit 1-2 more adults. I would stay here again 10/10 A+++

I loved the rooftop onsen — you get an amazing view of Osaka while you sit in the bath — and the Japanese dinner and breakfast are great. You can get a fresh yukata everyday. There is some entertainment like a manga reading area. They had a jazz musician come and play one night. There’s bowling but I never found it.

The staff (especially Maki), the wonderful location, and the hot spring baths!

The place was OK. But I really gotta say the staff were amazing. We had a problem with our room. Their air-conditioning wasn’t working well . The resolved our problems right away gave us a better room made our stay a lot better say was a great service. It was grateful one night very convenient right next to the airport not too far away from downtown. You can take a bus from the airport straight to downtown.

The location is not in the busiest area... room space is acceptable 😁 plus the breakfast is authentic Japanese meal such as curry and miso soup... loving it

The location is Great. We always enjoy every single moment.

Location, is next to train station

Neat and clean hotel, just in front of JR kishibe station (if you want quiet area but still close to osaka or shin-osaka station by JR, I would recommended) The staff are all friendly and kind :)

The staff were very helpful with recommendations and assistance with how to get around Osaka. They do provide a shuttle service from the nearest train stations. If you stay longer than 3 days. They take you to a nearby onsen free of charge. I loved that they also cooked you breakfast if you would like. I also got to meet some cool people who were staying there as well. Staying here made my first time in Osaka amazing.

It was an amazing ryokan! Of course, we have nothing to compare it to since it was our first experience, but it exceeded all our expectations. 1. The private bath in the room was fantastic! My boyfriend and I were absolutely thrilled with it. Plus, the view from the room was stunning. 2. The kaiseki was incredible! Every dish was unique and delicious. They were beautifully decorated for the momiji (autumn leaves) season, which was such a lovely touch. 3. The hot springs themselves were wonderful; it was such a pleasure to spend time there. They were also very understanding about my tattoo. It’s quite large and on my ribs, but they gave me two big skin-colored patches that completely covered it, so I didn’t scare anyone. :) 4. The yukatas were beautiful. And there’s a manga corner in the lobby on the first floor—perfect for some reading! :) 5. The transfer service was very convenient. We missed the 3:30 PM shuttle from Ikeda Station and could only arrive at 7:00 PM. However, I called the hotel at 4:00 PM to let them know we missed the transfer and asked if it was possible for them to pick us up at 7:00 PM instead. The staff kindly informed me that the transport would be waiting for us at the designated time at Ikeda Station. And that’s exactly what happened—everything went smoothly and was very convenient.

The staff was very helpful, kind and courteous. The services were excellent.

Nice hotel, but it is a hotel for a special purpose and designed for the users not to meet staff for elevated privacy. So for normal stay, you need to arrange with the staff for a regular usage.

Nice big room with many great amenities.

Spacious rooms, excellent amenities and comfortable and large beds.
