- This week I am trying to help the tourists flooding back to Japan by introducing the best areas to stay in Osaka City.
You might feel a bit overwhelmed and confused when planning your trip, Osaka has a lot of areas that look convenient to stay in. But they aren't all created equal! Today I'll explain the differences between 4 key areas of Osaka City: Osaka Station/Umeda, Namba, Shin-Osaka and Tennoji.
I'll introduce each one and its advantages, as well give an idea about how expensive the area is. At the end I'll summarise my recommendations.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!

Hi David, I'm going to the Expo and will be staying 3 months in Japan. How should i go about to look for an affordable place to rent ?
Oh that’s nice! Renting is notoriously hard for foreigners though, especially for short-term. To be honest I might suggest a share house, it’ll be cheaper to stay and more friendly to foreigners (in fact it’s probably their target guests). Are you planning to stay in Osaka the whole time? The advantage of a share house is that, like a hotel, you could stay in one area (like Kansai) for a while, move to another one like Kyushu or Kanto, and cover a lot of ground!
@@davidinosaka4069 HI David, brilliant. I had never heard of the shared house concept. How does one go about looking for them. Ideally I'd like to focus on the expo. By experience, i know i ll need at least 21 days not necessarily uninterrupted . I ll get an expo pass but will cover different regions around the country. I ve been looking fwd to visiting JP for eons
.
I’m afraid I don’t know much about sharehouses from my experience, but they usually have a focus on international cultural exchange so I think it might fit well with you. At least sharehouse (シェアハウス) is the word I heard used. It might be best for the mid-term stay you’re planning.
I know you saw the JR Pass video too so I guess that’s the only other thing I wanted to suggest, depending on your itinerary!
Thanks a billion David. With that info I’ll dig to find something. Have a great one.
You’re welcome! Have a great one too, maybe I’ll see you there! 😝
Thank you for your presentation. When I spotted the title of this clip, I thought you may make recommendations of areas’ to stay in Osaka, based on, specific areas of the city and what they offer. I will be traveling to Osaka in September 2024 and I am trying to figure out what may be an “ideal” location of the city to stay. I am interested in city lights and vibrant engagements as cultural and historic sites. If you were to expand this presentation and indicate, from your 10 years in Japan, which specific districts offer specific things. For example, should I choose a hotel in Downtown or Central Osaka or the Dotonbori area for city lights, good food (which you hinted at). Just something I would find most interesting and helpful, from an experienced resident of the area, such as yourself. Thanks again for your very nice presentation.
Thanks for your comment! I guess I made the video based on how I choose hotels - a rather cold analysis of reasonable prices and easy travel. Based on your comment, I would recommend Namba or Shinsaibashi - my friend always stays at Hotel Nikko in Shinsaibashi.
As for places to visit, I’ve done the Best 50 places in Osaka video (and a best 10 version), and “Is Namba worth visiting” (and a Tennoji version too), so I hope that helps with further information. Have a great trip and if you have more questions, let me know!
I found great deals around Imamiyaebisu Station, I looked up street view and it seems residential. not very touristy, but it is one stop away from Namba station. do you recommend it for our first visit to japan ? we are going to stay for 4 nights from our 14 day trip to japan.
Thanks for the comment! I’d never heard of that station, but that’s in the Nishinari area, that’s a kind of rough area, so that’s why it’s cheaper I think. It’s walking distance to the Osaka Loop Line which isn’t bad - Namba is good but not useful if you’re using Osaka as a hub for Kyoto for example. But for Nara that’s not bad. Just check the reviews of the hotels (and be suspicious if there aren’t many reviews!)
