This was truly one of my favourite experiences I've ever had. Everything was perfect from communication with the lovely owner Yuri, who I had the pleasure of meeting before I left, to the actual house itself. The beds were a lot more comfortable than I thought they would be and had multiple layers with very comfy pillows, the house was very clean and tidy with a very homely feel which immediately made me feel at ease. The tatami mats felt very nice to walk on, and there were plenty of indoor shoes provided. I was really scared coming to another country for the very first time and especially as I am a solo traveller but being in here made me feel at home right away. All of the kimonos and knickknacks and other extras only added to the experience and allows for an authentic traditional experience on a budget. Yuri was very accommodating and quick to respond with everything, and showed genuine care and passion. Truly cannot believe how cheap it is per night for what you get. The area (Izumi Sano) is amazing, far enough from all the hustle and bustle of the city while still having everything you need and easy to get to the larger parts of Osaka. Would highly recommend the gorgeous beach park in Nishikinohama (5 minute train ride from Izumi-Sano station) as well as the gorgeous Junkisshu Kopurple cafe which has lovely personable staff and amazing french toast and soft cream. Not to mention that in addition to the many different drink vending machines in all the many alleys and pathways you can take, there's even one inside the kitchen of the house! And with a lot of the drinks even cheaper than most vending machines outside! There were no negatives for me, just a couple tips I gathered for first timers. It's a very residential area so at night it's extremely quiet which is great but do keep it in mind if hauling luggage.

Honestly cannot fault our stay in any way. It was one of the most authentic experiences we had during our stay in Japan. As soon as we arrived, our host made us feel unbelievably welcome and at home. The glowing reviews about the dinner were right too; absolutely delicious and unique. Just what we needed before setting off on our hike the next day. Would highly recommend to stay.

We loved everything about our stay.

This guesthouse is awesome! It was my first night in Japan, I was a bit stressed because I was a bit late, and I didn't know the city at all, I arrived after 9pm. But Yuri was so nice to me! She let a key, a little note with everything explained. The room was so charming, really clean, and you have everything you could need at your disposal. Thank you so much, and I will do my best to come back to Osaka and be able to meet you!

We only stayed here 1 night after flying in to Osaka and happily would have stayed longer. It’s even more beautiful and cosy than the photos show, spotlessly clean and comfortable. A very atmospheric traditional Japanese house, I would have loved to learn more about the history of it. So many authentic and interesting Japanese cultural items to look at, a large manga and DVD selection and snacks for guests! The location is a bit of a walk (approx 10 minutes) from Izumisano station but I think it was worth it for the historical house and the neighbourhood itself is a slice of real Japanese life in the Osaka suburbs. We didn’t meet the host (Yuri) due to our short overnight stay, but their English is great and they are easily contactable.

Kominka Nagomi was great. I arrived late so the host emailed me the key details and also left a handwritten note. It was very client and very clean. There was a vending machine to buy drinks - water, softdrinks and alcoholic beverages, bathroom was clean, they left a few small little Japanese snacks which was nice of them. I felt good value for money. There is also a manga room and kiminos to dress up in (for free) for photos, but I was exhausted so just had a shower and went straight to bed. Peaceful walk from train station

Nothing

It was a beautiful Japanese traditional home, with beautiful decor, comfortable bedrooms and clean toilets. It even has a shared kitchen that you can cook, with separation of halal utensils as well for Muslim travellers. The owner is super friendly and make sure every thing is settled and comfortable for us tenants. Definitely recommend ✨✨

The only thing I wasnt fond of is the location, which I understand the owner doesnt really have any control over. Going there by taxi is recommended if you have lots of baggages. Otherwise not a huge problem.

This is the most beautiful traditional inn I have stayed in in Japan. I came here with no expectations and was really blown away by every detail from communication to decoration, location and facilities. I will definitely return to Izumisano and stay in Kominka Nagomi again when I have the opportunity. Thank you for a fantastic peaceful night of "home".

Quiet area; large space for a solo traveler; shower stall and facilities were very clean; has a kitchen if you need to cook or store anything; check in and out was easy; not too far from the station; this was a good place for me to stay the night before my very early flight (I left the property by 4:50am)

I’m not a fan of tatami as the dust sets off my allergies (not a fault of the property, of course)

I liked the location from the station even though I may have brought more luggage than I actually needed. It was mostly peaceful with a quiet neighborhood. Not that far for the laundry mat which was shocking to me. I really appreciate yuki-san.

I can't say that there's isn't anything to my liking because this has been one of the few places I stayed at. Can't compare at this time.

10 mins neighbourhood walk, spacious room, traditional Japanese house, all facilities as stated, convenient self check in and check out, quiet neighbourhood, walking distance to public bath, supermarket, combini, train and food

Nothing in particular
