About this home
Welcome to Tabitime Sumiyoshi Chofu ②, a small two-story house all to yourselves. ★Location The nearest station is Sumiyoshi-Taisha Sta, about a 6-minute walk, and Suminoe Sta is about 10 minutes on foot. This is a quiet residential neighborhood — ride into the city by day, then come back to calm lanes at night. Good value for the location. ⚡Quick look ・6 min walk to Sumiyoshi-Taisha Sta ・Up to 4 guests / 1LDK / 40㎡ two-story house ・About 20 min to Namba by train (from Sumiyoshi-Taisha Sta, direct) ・About 24 min to Shinsaibashi & Dotonbori (from Sumiyoshi-Taisha Sta) ・Free high-speed WiFi 🚆Access & Sightseeing From Sumiyoshi-Taisha Sta: ・Namba about 20 min (direct) ・Shinsaibashi & Dotonbori about 24 min ・Tsutenkaku & Shinsekai about 18 min ・Tennoji about 29 min (direct) ・Umeda about 32 min ・Osaka Aquarium about 33 min ・USJ about 34 min ・Osaka Castle about 36 min ・Kansai Airport about 57 min ・Nara about 56 min / Kyoto about 73 min / Kobe Sannomiya about 71 min 🌸Neighborhood & Culture Sumiyoshi Taisha is about 0.5 km away, within walking distance. It is the head shrine of over 2,300 Sumiyoshi shrines across Japan, with nearly 1,800 years of history. The vermilion Sorihashi (Taikobashi) bridge is a favorite photo spot. Go early in the morning and the approach is still quiet — you will hear sweeping brooms and birdsong. In New Year, this area draws one of the biggest crowds in Kansai for hatsumode. In front of the shrine, the Hankai tram rattles slowly through the streets; its clanging bell is part of everyday life here. Step out and turn left: about 2 min to Cafe Karin for a light breakfast, about 2 min to Kushitora for evening skewers, about 7 min to a Sunny supermarket for fruit and bento to enjoy back in your room. There is none of the tourist-area bustle here — just the ordinary, comfortable sight of the shopping street lighting up at dusk. 🛏Rooms 1F: kitchen, 4-seat dining area, living room, washstand, laundry area, bathroom (shower only), toilet. 2F: bedroom (2 double beds), up to 4 guests. 🛋Facilities & Amenities Appliances: TV (terrestrial + internet), fridge, microwave, rice cooker, electric kettle, washer with dryer, iron, Dyson hairdryer.

Had an incredible stay at this authentic quaint Japanese home with wooden ceilings and Japanese doors. Very comfortable beds with nice pillows, very clean place. Mei was very responsive and took care of things right away. Easy walking distance to the train. The neighborhood was so peaceful and beautiful! There is a park close by with herons, turtles and fish. A wonderful bakery near the train station. The locals are truly friendly and welcoming. It was so nice to be able to get away from the city of Osaka. Only a few station down and the trains are frequent. I would suggest if you are planning to go to Kyoto or Nara to split your stay. More nights at this airbnb than a few nights up north. Thank you for adding to our amazing trip to Japan! I would rent this again!! Arigato Gozaimasu , Mei.
We loved our stay at Mei's place. She was pro-active with instructions prior to travelling. On the day she checked in with us whilst we were travelling to Osaka to ensure everything was ready for us and that we were able to leave our luggage prior to check in. The Airbnb itself was easy to find, easy to access and beautifully clean. Plenty of amenities to use and we felt at home straight away. It is a six minute walk to the nearest train station, four minutes to a 7/eleven that we felt we had easy access to local facilities or just jump on a train to explore. We would highly recommend this airbnb if considering staying in Osaka.
Mei's accommodation was really nicely furnished and the area very quiet. Everything was clean. The train station was easy and quick to reach, otherwise there is also a bus stop nearby.
Very kind host well located because it’s more local
All good 👌
Mei’s place was amazing. It was about 10 min walk from the Sumiyoshitaisha station. Before reaching the accommodation, you’ll pass a beautiful garden that has koi’s, herons and pigeons and locals exercising. The accommodation itself was perfect, small but can fit 4 people. It was clean and had all the necessary amenities. She was also kind to let me check out at 12pm instead of 11am. I truly enjoyed my stay. Thank you, Mei!
