Benten Rooftop House

Bentencho station is nearby on the JR Osaka Loop Line, which made it easy to get around. I stayed five nights and came back to a freshly cleaned bed each day. The common areas and the rest of the place were clean and smelled good. Mathieu was a great host, available throughout the day if anything came up. I’d keep the booking app on your phone so you can contact him if needed. It took me a moment to spot the place, but look for the small "Welcome" sign and the Auberge du Tanuki Noir sign at the top of the building. I met guests from several countries and enjoyed chatting with them. For laundry, there’s a place four minutes away. Search for "coin laundry" in Japanese, then use Google Maps to find it.
