About this property

"Gamo4" Hidden Gem in Osaka. Close to Osaka Castle. Charming house. Tatami room.

The Gamo 4-chome neighborhood is affectionately known as “Gamo-yon”(yon means four) is very attractive town. Its Edo-era downtown atmosphere and traditional townscape still remain, lending it a charm distinct from that of Minami, Umeda, or other modern shopping districts, but these areas are also close, about 15 min. by car or subway. It has lately shown a surge toward becoming a “foodie’s town.” There’s been a lot of attention recently on the Gamo-yon revitalization project, which have given the neighborhood's forgotten old traditional homes a new lease on life. These streets are now lined with restaurants and pubs that combine the best of modern and retro.

The property is renovated very recently (October 2024), where 2-bedroom, one of which is Japanese Tatami room with futon bed.

It is located 5minutes walk from Gamo-yon subway station, city centre, lots of restaurants and bars including Macdonald, but very calm to sleep.

Full set of kitchen, washing machine, Separate bathroom with bathtub and shower and separate toilets with bidet.
Very tidy and clean.

Owner can assist you to guide anywhere you wish in English.

Amazing Stay in Osaka

Rambo, the landlord, made our stay incredible. We had a party of 5 and it was cozy but perfectly spacious. The location is great, close enough to easily go around Osaka but not so close that everything was crowded. We loved going to the walking distance bakery and shops. Rambo was exceptionally communicative and went over the top to make us comfortable with excellent English as well. I would highly recommend this stay especially for a first trip to Japan as it was a great start for us newcomers. Will be recommending this place to my friends!

Nice Base

To start with the owner of the property gets 10 stars! My trip to Japan was for personal reasons and this house was close to everything I wanted to do. The property/house that i stayed in, is a nice little place by western standards. For one American it is fine two is getting a little small but having two stories makes it just fine. I really enjoyed having the washing machine to do laundry. Because my stay was over 30 days that feature made this fell like home. The house is a 15 minute walk from a major mall (Aeon Mall) 5 minutes from a wall street shopping area and plenty of food restaurants local and western style. The house is located in a mixed neighborhood of light industrial and residential AND STILL very quite with a 5 minute walk to the train station. From this location it took me 35 minutes to get from door to Osaka Tower, just over 1 hour to get to Kyoto and if you are a racing fan just over 2:15 minutes to get to Suzuka race track if you don't miss your train connection like I did witch then took me 3 hours to get their. It is about 3 miles or 5k to Osaka Cas Ryuji Hishiya (Rambo) the owner is easy to talk to and a great individual as well as his wife. they both speak excellent English and are very warm and welcoming. My only really down side to my stay was dealing with VRBO and its website I had a problem with the payment to Rambo it was the site not Rambo but once it was resolved everything was fine. I will be going back to Japan and visit my new friends.
