Kanzaki 02 is an effortlessly stylish urban retreat located inside an old school shopping street in northern Osaka's Yodogawa Ward. Spacious interior design, light-filled rooms and positioned perfectly for those who want to make the most of their time in Osaka, this 4-person-home covers all the bases. High ceilings, bright and warm timber flooring, and raw timber beams in the roof are just some of this design-focused home's many attractive features. The recently renovated home has been built in such a way that its traditional heritage and contemporary ambiance blend harmoniously. Take your shoes off, slip on a pair of slippers, and enjoy the open-plan living and dining room design as you glide between the spaces. The house is artfully split between two floors, with the first floor featuring the kitchen, dining, toilet and one bedroom. On the 2nd floor is an additional living room with a double sofa bed. It also features all the other amenities you'll need for a comfortable stay, including a laundry space with a washer and dryer combo, an additional restroom, plenty of living space and a modern, well-equipped bathroom.

Kanzaki 02’s guests love the fact that sightseeing around Osaka via this home and via public transport is incredibly easy and convenient. Kanzakigawa Station is a three-minute walk, while Juso is a 21-minute walk and gives access to most of the Hankyu line, and Osaka Station only two train stops away. Those traveling to Osaka via shinkansen will also be happy to know that it’s just a 10 min cab right to Shin-Osaka shinkansen station. The city’s most iconic shopping and tourist destinations like Umeda Sky Building, Grand Front Osaka Mall, and Herbis Plaza can all be reached via public transport in about 15 minutes. Some of the city’s other major attractions like Osaka Castle, Dotonbori, Universal Studios Japan, and Tennoji Zoo are easily accessible as they require just one stop-over.
