Osaka, the most popular sightseeing spot for Westerners, is a vibrant city 365 days a year. It is said that Osaka residents resemble Westerners more than in Tokyo because they are more outspoken and less introverted which makes Osaka one of the most exciting places to visit in Japan. One of the reasons that foreigners are also attracted to the Osaka area is because you can get a sense of both past and present.

There are a number of benefits to staying at hostel STAY in the City AMEMURA, but there are 3 that seem to stand out the most. The first and most important would be location. STAY in the City AMEMURA is situated in the Chuo Ward district of Osaka, which is known for being a hyper-busy, lit up entertainment district that offers tons of bars, music venues, antique clothing stores, and more. Another would be the cleanliness and facilities available. Your main idea of a hostel might just be a place to sleep and that is it but the vicinity is very clean and they offer important amenities and services like a washer and dryer and even lend you a converter/adapter just in case you forgot yours. Something else worth mentioning is the extensive on-site facilities.
Rooms
① Amemura Terrace
More of a hotel style, you rent the room allowing up to four people can stay in this room comfortably.
Along with the wide open space useful amenities such as a toothbrush, brush, towels, washcloth,
refrigerator, shampoo & conditioner, etc. come with the room.
② Twin Room
This room is a private room for two. Similar to the Amemura Terrace, the room facilities offered are just like at a hotel, towels, shampoo and conditioner, a toothbrush, a razor, slippers, etc. Something that also sticks out is the closet space where you can fit all your luggage there and then some.
③ Dormitory (7F is for women only)
SOBER TIGER + KYU
On the first and second floor, there is a full-scale Vietnamese restaurant and bar that has been modernized. Using real seasoning from Vietnam, they make some of the best Vietnamese soul food like the famous pho and banh mi. SOBER TIGER is particularly proud of their banh mi, which for those who do not know is like a sandwich that is loaded with meat, vegetables or fried egg. But what is special is the bread that originated from the French baguette during the French colonial rule. You can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner here, or if you just want a bite take-out is also an option. Along with these dishes, they also offer original alcohol.
Connected to the restaurant is a Japanese "snack bar" which are bars that specialize in entertainment and normally have elder women working the bar. It is a great place to hang out and connect with Japanese people that come to hang out in Amemura. Here at KYU you can get a great sense of Japan's nightlife culture.
The Harajuku of Osaka
Amerikamura, or better known as Amemura, is the center of creative fashion and entertainment in Kansai. The name means "American Village" which gives you a look at the Japanese point of view of an America but a reason is apparently due to the focus that is put on Western import goods. However, once you go here you are more likely to see things specific to Japan from its open ranged fashion trends and small food shops. Mentioned a bit above, if you are wanting to check out the music scene in the area Amemura is a great place to do that! The hostel staff gave us all sorts of recommendations so if there is anything you want to check out specifically like a good used clothing store feel free to ask them.
If you are looking for more of the famous spots, just 2mins from the hostel is Mitsui Park (御津公園) also called Triangle Park (三角公園;Sankaku koen). It is a bit small but it is considered a sort of hangout spot for many and you are sure to see some of Osaka's fashion trends here. If you are wanting something to eat, Osaka is FAMOUS for its takoyaki (balls of dough with octopus inside). On the corner in front of the park, just a minute from the hostel is Osaka's famous Kogaryu Takoyaki (甲賀流). Originating in Amemura, they have been serving takoyaki in for decades. So feel free to get some to go and eat at Mitsui Park like many of the locals do.
So if you are looking for a convenient place to stay that is surrounded by some of Osaka's most exciting city life and not wanting to spend a ton we sincerely recommend
staying at STAY in the City AMEMURA.
