8/10
If you are visiting Osaka area and want to experience authentic traditional Japanese lodging (ryokan) in an off the beaten path place, this might be the place to go. It's about 40 minutes away on a local train from Namba statiuon (Nakai Koya line). There doesn't seem to be much around the ryokan although we really didn't explore. We stayed in a similar property in Hakone when visiting Tokyo a year ago and it was a well known hot spring town so there were a lot more things to do. We stayed at a detached annex which had more than enough room for our family of four. Private outdoor hot spring tub and Western style indoor tub available, but weather was just too hot to truly enjoy the outdoor. We chose half boarding so had Kaiseki style dinner and also a traditional breakfast. Nothing much to complain except the futons were somewhat too thin so it was a bit rough on my back. Other than that, it was a nice stay. Outdoor common swimmng pool was not open yet in the beginning of July so be aware.
