Budget Hotels in Osaka

If you’re looking to make your money go further on your visit to the city, there is plenty of cheap accommodation in Osaka to choose from. And you won’t have to settle for staying in out-of-the-way neighbourhoods either.

Where to Find 1 Star Hotels in Osaka

The main focus for affordable hotels is around Namba station, the major shopping and entertainment hub in the south of Osaka. Also known as Minami (Japanese for south), it’s a great place to be based to get a taste of all the great things that Osaka has to offer. You could even try out one of Japan’s famous capsule hotels – great if all you need is a place to rest your head.

Free Attractions in Osaka

When it comes to visiting the big visitor attractions, it’s free to go for a stroll around Osaka Castle Park. You’ll be surrounded by trees, moats and rivers and you can get great views of the castle itself. You also don’t have to pay to visit the outer grounds at Shitennoji Temple, one of the oldest in Japan.

Pop Culture and Eye-Popping Malls

Of course, it doesn’t cost a thing to go and experience the almost surreal shopping malls dotted all over the city, and with the sheer variety of shops on offer you’re bound to find some souvenirs in your price range. Or get a glimpse of Japanese pop culture in Amerikamura, Osaka’s version of Tokyo’s famous Harajuku district, where teen fashion and trends rule.

Discover Osaka’s Street Food Scene

Getting a taste of Osaka’s legendary food culture without breaking the bank is easy, especially if you stay around the Dotombori area near Namba station. This is one of the top destinations for sampling street food and affordable local dishes including sushi, udon and okonomiyaki savoury pancakes. You also get to experience the amazing atmosphere conjured up by the bustling streets and bright lights. And it’s all absolutely free.
