Special Notes | Spacious (28m2) as it's a renovated studio apartment Very clean as it's a new hotel |
The **Yushu Futaba Bed & Breakfast**, a new Osaka hotel I highly recommend,
is conveniently located just 📍 about a 5-minute walk from Kintetsu Nippombashi Station and Dotonbori.
As it's a hotel renovated from a Japanese studio apartment, the **room size is genuinely
spacious at 28m2 (approximately 8-9 pyeong)**, and being a new hotel, the interior is incredibly clean.

📍 Despite this, the **accommodation fee is incredibly affordable, starting from around ~$75
on weekdays and ~$112 on weekends.**
❗️It's already gaining popularity among travelers, leading to many dates being sold out.
**I recommend booking quickly using the link below.**
✅ As a side note, those who book exclusively through the link above can also use the
**8% discount code 'MOMENT08AGD'.**
This code can be combined with existing Agoda tiered discounts, so make sure to use it!
Accommodation Location and Key Advantages
Next, I'll introduce the **hotel's detailed location
and its various advantages.**

As you can see on the map, Yushu Futaba is **✅in a really close location
to the Dotonbori entrance and Kintetsu Nippombashi.**
What's more, if you just exit the hotel to the left, you'll immediately connect to
Shinsaibashi, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing!

And the photo above shows the street atmosphere in front of the hotel.
This area is a hotel district, so there's a lot of foot traffic even at night,
especially many tourists walking around, which makes it quite safe.
(I always use hotels in this vicinity.)

Moreover, Yushu Futaba Hotel is **fully decorated with a Japanese-style interior,
right from its atmosphere**, which is fantastic for enhancing your travel mood!
Balcony Apartment Room Stay Review
Next, I'll share my review of the **Balcony Apartment,
the most affordable room I used.**

The hotel entrance was completely modern,
and there were umbrellas available for rent right by the entrance.

The lobby was spacious and comfortable, and the staff member
kindly assisted me with check-in.
Interestingly, check-in here is done via a self-check-in system where you access a website on your phone.
But don't worry, the staff are there to help you through it.


✅ A 200 JPY accommodation tax per person needs to be paid in cash,
and extending your check-out costs 1,000 JPY per hour.
Also, since staff aren't available 24 hours a day,
I recommend completing your check-in in advance.

One of the reasons this hotel is so convenient
is that both the 1st-floor lobby entrance and the guest room entrances
are equipped with door locks (keypad entry).
Thanks to this, you don't have the hassle of carrying around a card key.


But most importantly, the interior of the room was incredibly spacious!
The main sleeping area alone was almost as large as a typical hotel room,
and with its studio-style layout, featuring a separate bathroom and kitchen,
I got to enjoy a truly expansive room for the price.


By the head of the bed, there was a small table and an outlet,
making it convenient to charge my phone, and at the foot of the bed, there was a wall-mounted TV.
I didn't actually use it, but the layout itself
felt just like a cozy home, which was wonderfully familiar!

The wardrobe in the main sleeping area had about six hangers
and a portable stool, among other amenities.
It seemed like you could even use it to enjoy a meal if needed!


What was truly amazing was the separate kitchen!
It had a fairly large and high-performing mid-sized refrigerator,
a microwave, a coffee maker, dishwashing supplies, and more—
a surprisingly wide range of appliances.
Just note that cooking isn't permitted!

Also, while room cleaning isn't provided separately,
there was a vacuum cleaner conveniently placed near the entrance.
So, for those on longer stays, it feels just like home, allowing you to use it comfortably!

The microwave also worked great, making it perfect for enjoying late-night snacks
bought from nearby convenience stores or supermarkets.
And as I mentioned before, the refrigerator was fantastic too, so with a cold beer from the freezer,
you can enjoy your late-night meal without even needing to go to an izakaya!

In addition, one bottle of water per person was provided,
and coffee or tea bags were also offered as amenities.

What was really great about the bathroom layout was that
the sink was straight ahead, the shower was on the left,
and the toilet was on the right, all in separate spaces.
Usually, in most hotels, everything is in one space, making it
difficult to use the shower and toilet simultaneously in the morning,
so having them separated like this was truly wonderful!

The shower room was as spacious as a typical business hotel,
and it even had a bathtub and a bath chair.
What was truly convenient was being able to digitally control the water temperature,
allowing me to enjoy a half-body bath at my desired temperature.
The bathtub was also quite roomy, large enough for an adult male
to comfortably enjoy a half-body bath.


As for amenities, a rinsing cup, bath towels, and small towels were provided,
along with disposable toothbrushes, razors, and other essentials.
Just a heads-up, you'll need to open the mirror cabinet above the sink
to find the amenities shown in the right picture!
(I actually had trouble finding them at first, too.)

If you open the cabinet below the sink, you'll find a scale and
a hairdryer, so feel free to use them.

With shampoo, conditioner, and body wash all provided,
there was no need to pack any shower essentials from home.

Although the toilet space wasn't particularly large, it was separated
and even had a bidet installed, making it comfortable to use.

Another unique advantage of this hotel is that
the rooms come with a balcony.
Stepping out in the morning, enjoying a coffee, and taking in the refreshing outdoor view,
I really felt like a local resident of Osaka!

For those staying 2 nights or more,
a towel replacement service is also available.
If you place your used towels in the basket provided and leave it outside your room,
they'll be replaced with fresh ones, just like in the picture.
Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy a spacious room without any inconvenience
during my two-night stay!

Today, I introduced a hotel that Osaka travelers can truly enjoy for its excellent value:
Yushu Futaba Bed & Breakfast.
Its location is fantastic, and as a newly built hotel, it's incredibly clean,
yet the price point is similar to other business hotels,
which made my satisfaction incredibly high.
It seems to be gaining a bit of buzz lately, as many rooms are sold out
on weekdays and weekends.
I highly recommend booking before it gets even more famous, and if you access it
through the link I provided, you can also get an
additional 8% discount by applying the discount code
"MOMENT08AGD", so give it a try!
