Air Osaka Hostel

Hip hostel Air Osaka invites you to stay in the heart of Osaka’s artsiest neighbourhood and take in the local vibe to the fullest. Only 10 minutes by metro from Namba, the surrounding Kitakagaya area seems a world away from the bustling commercial centre, and any lingering big city feel is sure to dissipate once you step into the hostel’s vintage building. This former ryokan inn has been turned into a showcase for creativity in the form of murals, quirky ornaments and scribblings on the walls, many of them left behind by guests over the years.
