Closed – Hostel Base Point Osaka in Namba

OSAKA

I searched for accommodation that is closer to Namba station at inexpensive price. And I found this hostel Hostel Base Point Osaka that is located at the center of shopping street in Namba.
It’s very close to Namba Grand Kagetsu and I thought I can get to there with easily. Actually, it’s very easy to find ! (Though I mistook the exit at the station this time, too…) They have dormitory rooms and private rooms.

Because I always out for sightseeing and eating at whole day when I visit Osaka, so, I want to save money for my bed as much as possible. So, dormitory is good choice 🙂

Where?

After you get out of Namba station, go straight along Nankai street. And then you meet this sighboard, so turn left. “Ganko zushi (がんこ寿司)” is good sign, too.
* There’s not this signboard at night time.
