For your last day of Osaka travel, it's a good idea to stay near Umeda Station or Namba Station.
→ Taking the Limited Express Rapi:t to the airport = Near Namba Station
→ Taking the Haruka to the airport = Near Umeda Station
Since I was taking the Rapi:t, I stayed at an accommodation near Namba Station, and it wasn't a cramped, cave-like structure, so I had a comfortable stay.
Plus, it has a large public bath where I could completely shake off my fatigue. Let me introduce you to the Osaka First Cabin Capsule Hotel '-'
1. Osaka First Cabin
📍 Nankai Namba
5-chōme-10-1番60号 Namba, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-8503 Japan
📍 First Cabin Midosuji Namba

The Osaka First Cabin Capsule Hotel is a 5-minute walk from Nankai Namba Station, where you can board the Rapi:t
Lawson and FamilyMart are 1-2 minutes walk away,
and Dotonbori is also just a 7-minute walk away. Its excellent accessibility to tourist attractions means you can fully enjoy your trip right up to the last day.
Take the elevator to the 3rd floor to check in.
The 3rd floor serves as both the check-in counter and a lounge. Given the nature of capsule hotels, eating food in the cabins is not allowed, so you can use this lounge when you want to enjoy convenience store snacks.
They also offer free coffee from 7 AM to 10 AM here, so be sure to grab your morning coffee before heading out!
☕ Buttered toast is also available for an additional ~$2
Various amenities like towels, slippers, hairbrushes, and bath towels are also provided in the lounge, so feel free to take and use whatever you need.
2. Room Condition
In the hotel hallway, you'll find vending machines, phone booths, a smoking room, massage chairs, and more. Rooms are separated by capsule type and gender.
You use the card given at check-in to tap your way in and then use the room assigned with your number.
As its name suggests, the Osaka First Cabin Capsule Hotel is designed with a "first class airplane cabin" concept, giving it a much more spacious and tidy feel than regular capsules.
But the price is absolutely no different!
It was also convenient because you don't have to deal with putting your luggage in lockers on a different floor; you can fully open your suitcase right in your own room,
and pajamas, lighting, towel racks, a mirror, and more are provided as standard. There's also a lockable storage space under the bed where you can keep your valuables.
Although only Japanese channels are available, you can still watch TV.
It's only about ~$37 per night, is this quality for real 👀
The First Cabin Capsule Hotel near Namba Station was really clean, and I even liked the scent of their shampoo, conditioner, and body wash!
But interestingly, not many people were using the individual showers.
Well, with a grand communal bath (onsen-style) and sauna available, who would bother with just a shower?!
After walking over 20,000 steps every day of the trip, unwinding completely on the last night made for a truly perfect Osaka adventure 🥹
