Feel Osaka Yu

優しく楽器を教えてくださって、セッションに参加できたことは一生の思い出です。

家族四人の部屋はなかったですが、少人数でまた行きたい

Kazu was the person who always seemed to speak to me in a way that felt genuinely thoughtful and kind. He also plays piano, and during the Saturday jam session he even played along with me, even though I’m not very good at guitar. That moment meant a lot to me. It’s hard to explain this kind of warmth and comfort in words. Like other people have said, it really felt like a home in Japan. This is not something you can get from just a cheap hostel. I met wonderful people, made great memories, and had an experience I’ll always be grateful for. I’ll be back soon.

Everything was great for me.

Great atmosphere and very friendly people (Kazu and the team). I only planned to relax in the lounge for a few minutes, but ended up spending the whole evening chatting with travelers from all over the world. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. If you enjoy meeting people and sharing experiences while traveling, this is a fantastic place to stay. Would happily stay here again.

位置方便，服務人員態度很好

如果攜帶26吋以上大型行李住在單人房型的話行李箱有點難完全打開

Excellent location, close to everything. The staff is very helpful. Kaz at the reception speaks excellent English and went above and beyond to assist me with every question and request. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

These guys take the music serious. Amazing instruments, JAZZCHORUS AMPS!!! And more.

My third time visiting this hostel in 3 years; Kaz and his dad are exceptional hosts and they’ve maintained their standard since my last time visiting. Common areas immaculate and they are very helpful in local recommendations. Very good location for the main Osaka tourist spots and walking distance from all the best bars and clubs.

Great stay! The room and facilities were spotless, the location is perfect, and the staff were incredibly helpful with every issue.

Very nice hosts. Listening and making music tgether. Talking whole evening.

Bathroom downstairs. But veey well equipped and spacious

A localização era óptima. Conheci excelentes pessoas, graças ao lounge que era mesmo bom. A limpeza e a organização do espaço é optima.

Pensava que ia ter uma cozinha, o que não aconteceu. Tinha apenas um fervedor de água e um microondas. Para pessoas que tenham problemas com a privacidade dos dados não é o melhor sitio porque existem câmaras em todos os lados.

Exceptional! The attention of the front desk agent was legendary!

The working area in the room had a nice view. The jamming session in the common room was a nice surprise.

セキュリティとても良く、安心して過ごせました。 清掃も行き届いていました。

最後の最後で満点を求められたのが厚かましいと感じました。客は満点にしたいと思う接客であれば満点にします。

La ubicación

Retumba mucho si hay alguien roncando

Great location, nice and clean hostel

Clean facilities, staff were so helpful. Near all the main shopping sites.

The weekly jam session absolutely made my night. Felt so fun to play an instrument after a few weeks away from mine. Kaz and his father put a lot of work in to make you feel welcome and I highly recommend a stay here.

Don’t really have much to complain about. I stayed in a private room which measured about the same size as most Japanese hotel rooms (if you are an American it will feel very compact lol).

Such a nice stay here! The music room was so fun and it was great to jam with the owners. They were so nice and welcoming, would definitely stop by again next time I’m in Osaka. We jammed so much, great for musicians. The accommodations were excellent too, very comfortable and easy to navigate. I liked having a dedicated bathroom/shower area.

It was very comfortable and Kaz was amazing.

It is very clean and well located.

Showers are on the other flor than rooms so you have to take elevators or stairs. Tehey chage additional if you check in come after 21.00 and if you check out 30 min later they charge as well. You have to pay deposit.

Sorry i can't give this more. Location is great.

The owners are just to greedy. If you arrive before check in time, you can leave the luggae for fee of 800yen(a mail was sent few days earlier, but who honestly starts following mails when they're traveling. If the were honest, they would write it on main page) You need to keep a deposit of 10,000 yen(cash or credit), which makes you feel like they can take part of it for whatever reason they'd like(for example 1000yen for dirty sheets, which they are going to wash anyways). On top they have security cameras everywhere and they take a picture of you when you check in so the camera will recognize you and won't call the police, just makes the stay uncomfortable, and the few people that were willing to socialize said the same. From my personal experience the hostel wasn't social at all, i was most of the time alone in to common area. Might be bad luck or just all of the reasons above ruined the vibe for everyone. Honestly, won't stay here again and won't recommend to my friends.

Location

Surveillance is everywhere, they film you from the entrance with face recognition until the shower room. Luckily not in the showers. Check in hours are quite early and there's no flexibility towards guests. Requests for date changes are unacceptable so very low on customer centricity. There are better places where to get value for your money.

Everything, was such a great atmosphere, very clean, very comfortable and an awesome location on the city.

Team was great in the reception and in the cleanliness of the place

Slippers for the bath were hurting my feet. No ice to use

Kaz and vintage Kaz were so kind and welcoming. You can tell how much work is put into maintaining the place. It was very clean and comfortable. Loved the room and jam session. My favourite place I stayed in Japan.

I stayed at a few hostels during my touring in Japan, and I can say with confidence everything at this hostel exceeded my expectations! It felt like one big family. And a big bonus was the jazz session I could sit and listen into and meet people through some awesome music. Great location as well! Friendly staff. Just all around very awesome time with very awesome people. In a safe fun environment with a comfortable and very clean stay. There are also facilities to wash clothes and dry them. With lockers for more valuable items if needed. Thank you Kaz for everything you did to make my stay memorable!

I can not think of anything I didn't like.

If you don’t mind the installed FACE RECOGNITION system and the rather strict house rules, this is a good hostel. It’s centrally located, the staff are friendly, and the facilities are clean and well maintained.

The entire building operates with a FACE RECOGNITION system. During check-in, guests are photographed, and a deposit is charged immediately. If you don’t check out by 10:29 a.m., an additional fee is automatically applied. It’s also important to know that the checkout process can take up to 30 minutes, as the staff personally inspect each room before approval. In practice, this means you need to check out at least half an hour earlier to avoid being charged. I’ve travelled extensively within and outside Japan, but I’ve never experienced such a high level of monitoring. I wouldn’t book here again.

正直30代になってから一回もカプセルホテルに泊まっていなくて、今回は万博終盤と中国の連休の時期が重ねて、大阪市内のホテルが全てとんでもなく高かったのでこちらを利用させていただきましたが、想像より良くて、セキュリティや清潔感はもちろん、スタッフさんの対応も良かったしやソーシャルスペースやランドリーも使いやすく、大変お世話になりました。シャワールームに女性限定のエリアまで提供されて安心して使えて感謝です。

This is one of those places that has all of the extra touches that make a stay very comfortable. I really appreciate there not only being shampoo but also conditioner for the shower, the shower room had lock boxes to put your valuables in to keep them safe and dry. It was also the quietest hostel I have ever stayed in, making for a great nights sleep.

綺麗で快適。 セキュリティボックスがたくさんあるのと、 自分のスペースにタオルを干す紐があって便利だった。

ベットの上段でしたがハシゴの近くに持ち手があったらいいなとおもった

I love that they have instruments you can pick up and use (until 10pm then you have to be quiet). Met some people through that socially. I love the dorm room layout. They were thoughtfully designed with a kitchenette in the dorm (microwave, fridge, freezer, sink and bins), a changing area (wee curtain and mirror so you can stand up instead of fighting for your life getting on a pair of trousers in a bunk), a separate seating area where I could do my makeup in the morning and also did journaling in the evening there. Women also have a separate bathroom downstairs in the shower room! It has two showers, hairdryers, straighteners, and bits and bobs like cotton buds.

You have to pay ¥800 to store your bags pre check in / out Silence everywhere after 10pm The jam only happens officially on a Saturday so you could stay all week and miss out on the jam session like I did :( The WiFi isn’t the strongest in the dorms

Hotel owner and manager was super friendly and supportive. Super good location and nice and good equipment. I really enjoyed my stay a lot

Only thing missing a space to have private conversations and phone calls, because main area too busy and noisy

Kaz was a super friendly and welcoming host, and his communication before/during the stay was fantastic! He spoke perfect English, was happy to socialize, and full of excellent recommendations. The hostel was easy to find, had warm and inviting common areas, and nice clean facilities. I appreciated the smooth jazz in the lounge, and relaxing piano in the shower area. The bunk bed capsules were comfortable and I slept well with the provided ear plugs. I highly recommend Feel Osaka Yu, 10/10 would stay here again!

The ladder for the upper bunk bed was a little awkward to use. I actually found it kinda fun, but you might want to avoid the upper bunk if you're not very flexible.

Cleanness of rooms. Location good.

Policys of the hotel are horrendous. Everywhere face recognition cameras.

Great place and location, very secure entry way, owner father and son are musicians who host a little music hour on the weekends. Good social vibe

People there were really friendly and helpful. Everything was pretty clean. Location is very good. During the afternoon they make jam sessions and that is super fun to watch.

They have some requirements that are pretty annoying for someone travelling. No breakfast option. They don’t vacuum floors daily. And a very important thing: you can’t turn off your light without turning off the plug also so that is super uncomfortable for someone that’s a tourist.

J’ai rarement été aussi bien accueilli par un hôte, Kaz renvoie une énergie formidable et accueillante. L’établissement est très bien équipé, très propre et très bien entretenu. Excellemment bien placé dans le quartier de America Mura et très proche de Doronbori à pieds ainsi que des transports en commun. J’ai par ailleurs beaucoup apprécié la session de musique avec chacun jouant de son instruments (malgré mes maigres talents de guitariste). Merci encore et à bientôt je l’espère, Melih

Its proximity to almost all essential places was great.. the music instruments Background instruments was always great and soothing .

Actually noting really

The staff is very friendly. location is close to the station and the big commercial street.

音乐厅，老板是我的架子鼓老师，十分钟就让我体会到了第一次打鼓的乐趣，还有老爸学了八个月的吉他的精湛表现……一起玩音乐是快乐的！

So clean and comfortable and cozy

A hostel layout that I really loved. I even got to play piano with the staff as I visited on a jazz jam night. The best part is that they gave me a video of the jam session.

Nothing!

Comfortable, cozy and clean

Owners are amazing and are always up for a jam session in the common room!

Nothing!

This hostel was incredible you have to stay here if coming to Osaka it's the perfect escape from the busy city the musical theme is so real and enjoyable. Relax in the lobby and welcome some great socialising.

Osaka is a maze of lanes and streets, it is easy to walk out the door and get lost but the hostel being on the corner means you can spot it more easily.

The cleanliness, the staff, the bathroom next to each room, rooms are not overcrowded, building was not designed to be a hostel but it works ok

I wish you give out 2 towels (hair and body), and washing clothes is a bit too expensive compared to other hostels in osaka

One of the Best Hostels I’ve Ever Stayed At – A Hidden Gem in Osaka I can’t recommend this hostel enough – it’s easily one of the best I’ve ever stayed at. The sleeping arrangement is perfect: you get your own capsule-style bed in a shared dorm, which gives you privacy and quiet even though you're sharing the room with others. I honestly didn’t hear a sound at night, which made for some great nights of sleep! The cleanliness of the entire place is top-notch. Everything—from the dorms to the bathrooms and common areas—is spotless and well-maintained. But the real highlight of this hostel is the common room. It’s not just a place to hang out—it's a creative space filled with musical instruments. Guests are welcome to play, and the hostel even organizes jam sessions, which are such a fun and unique way to connect with other travelers. What made it even more special was that the owner, Kazu, and his father joined in the music-making. It created such a warm, communal vibe. Kazu himself is an incredible host—super friendly, helpful, and always up for a chat. He’ll help you with anything you need and has great recommendations for local restaurants that are just a short walk away. If you're visiting Osaka and looking for a place that combines comfort, cleanliness, and community, this is the hostel to book. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town

It was so quiet . I slept better than I thought I would

I want to alert potential guests about a privacy concern at this hostel. The entrance has temperature-measuring cameras that operate without any prior notice, such as signs or explanations, potentially collecting sensitive data like temperature readings or images. As someone who values privacy, I felt violated by this lack of transparency, which may not comply with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI). I requested that the cameras be turned off when I enter, but the hostel refused, citing security reasons, and offered no alternatives like manual temperature checks. Not everyone may see this data collection as an issue, but I believe guests deserve to know about the lack of notice so they can decide for themselves. If privacy matters to you, I recommend asking the hostel about their camera policies and how they handle personal data before booking.

Location Stuff was very helpful They have a comfortable room if one wants to have some downtime from all the sightseeing

Immediately welcomed by friendly staff that were helpful and attentive. The bathrooms were extraordinarily clean, dormitory was very nice, and common area was cool. Best hostel I stayed in.

Kaz was so helpful and quick to respond to my messages. Convenient location, clean space and complete facilities.

It would be even better if complimentary luggage storage is available on the day of check-in & check out. I also wished the drinking water dispenser is available 24/7.

Instruments: main motivation for coming. Also, the people there were super friendly!

Not much :)

Good location and very friendly host who was happy to help out/ give advice for a first timer in Japan

Location, common area useful for a small bite, clean, staff was nice helpful, showers area was clean too

Drinking water is available only between 9AM to 5PM. I think it should be available 24 hours.

Kazu (son), Kaz (father), and Yoko were all warm and welcoming, and lovely to talk with and get to know. They’ve established a nice place for rest, refuge, creativity and community. Their recommendations led me to some places I wouldn’t have seen otherwise known about e.g. GLION Car Museum and Nakanoshima Rose Garden and therefore changed the course of my trip all for the better. It is conveniently located and yet on a quiet side street—I did a ton of exploring on foot and by the nearby subway. So glad I found this place and its excellent people. Capsule hotels aren’t for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed Feel Osaka Yu as my Osaka home, and I slept very well there. 😴. ありがとうございます

Great place

Location, dormitory and bathrooms. Everything is clean

The surveillance cameras everywhere and facial récognition. feels like you are being watched all the time

excellent!!!

can add many washing machines or dryers.

What's not to like about this place? The staff is exceptionally friendly, the dorm bed and facilities are super clean and very, very comfy! The location is optimal, too. You absolutely get your money's worth. All in all, I highly recommend this place and am glad for the beautiful stay there! Thank you Kaz & team <3
