Looking for a Cool Place to Stay in Namba? Check Out ＆Here OSAKA NAMBA

Maido! Osaka Bob here.
Today, I want to introduce a great hotel in Namba—“&Here OSAKA NAMBA”! ♪
It’s so close to Nipponbashi, in one of the liveliest areas around!

This Suite Sleeps 6 and You’ll Love the Fun Room Theme

First, let’s take a look at the rooms.
At “&Here OSAKA NAMBA,” the rooms are designed to look like Osaka-style townhouses (aka nagaya) and hidden retreats. They do a great job capturing that authentically Osaka vibe.
We got a special sneak peek inside the rooms, so let me show you around!
First up: the suite rooms!

Executive Suite Room

On the top floor—the 14th floor—you’ll find a special concept room designed to comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests.

The Executive Suite Utagedori, on the North side, features a Japanese-modern style with a cozy living and dining area. There you’ll find a horigotatsu style table, perfect for lounging because of the sunken floor.
It’s designed for hanging out and socializing. Plus, the ceiling lights add a stylish touch!
This suite also includes a hidden-gem conservatory—a versatile space with huge windows that feels like a private retreat.

If you’re someone who’s thinking, “I need a little me-time, too,” this is just the spot. With views overlooking Namba, it’s the perfect place to kick back and relax at your own pace.

Now let’s check out the room on the south side.
This one’s called the Deluxe Suite Ikoisuji.

Just beyond the wooden flooring, there’s a tatami-style living space where you can kick off your shoes and totally relax.
Seriously, what is it about Japanese-style rooms that makes them feel so calming?

One of the absolute highlights of the Deluxe Suite Ikoisuji is the view from the windows. You can see both Tsutenkaku Tower and Abeno Harukas right from the room!
When we asked the hotel staff about the room, they said, “The night view is amazing!”
So don’t just take our word for it, come stay and see it for yourself.

For Families: Exciting Bunk Bed Rooms That Kids Will Love!

There are four types of family rooms to choose from, including ones with a horigotatsu (sunken-style table) and others inspired by a traditional engawa (wrap-around verandas).
Out of all of the different family rooms, my personal favorite is the Deluxe Family Bunk!

The bunk bed setup is really impressive!
If you’re staying with four people, you just know someone’s going to say, “I call the top!” and someone else will go, “I want the bottom!”—it’s bound to spark some fun banter with your group (lol).
Also, this is a small detail, but the lantern-style lights were super cute!
♡

In addition to suites and family rooms, &Here OSAKA NAMBA also offers twin rooms!
Some hotels cram the beds into a very small space, but here, every room feels open and spacious, even the twin rooms.

Another cool feature of the rooms at &Here OSAKA NAMBA is the design: the base tones are gray and beige, creating a cozy alley-like feeling. Then, each room is accented with theme colors like deep red and soft lavender, adding a subtle touch of Japanese flair.
Since each room has its own unique style, no matter how many times you stay, it always feels like a fresh experience!

A Community Space Packed With Fun Features to Make Your Stay Even Better!

Let’s take a look at some of the other features of this hotel—the community spaces that are open to guests.
＆Here OSAKA NAMBA features both a bar called NAMbar and a rooftop terrace.

NAMbar, a Bar Styled After Ura-Namba

Inspired by the casual bar culture of Ura-Namba, one of Osaka’s top nightlife spots, the community space on the first floor is called NAMbar.
Here, you can enjoy Osaka’s unique snacks and drinks in a laid-back atmosphere.

You might meet other guests here and strike up a conversation, like, “How did you get to Osaka?” or “Where are you heading tomorrow?”
There’s also a cute local map on the wall to help you plan your outings.

Enjoy a Sports Game on the ROOFTOP TERRACE

Take the elevator straight from the first floor up to the rooftop, where the ROOFTOP TERRACE welcomes you with amazing views of Namba, Shinsekai, and Tennoji.

When I visited, there was just the right breeze blowing through—it felt absolutely amazing!
The ROOFTOP TERRACE is even equipped with public viewing facilities, so guests can get together and enjoy watching sports events or other broadcasts. How cool is that?

At night, the chairs light up, creating a magical and dreamy atmosphere.
Grab some snacks and drinks from NAMbar. It’s the perfect nighttime hangout spot!

Perfect Location Right by Lively Ura-Namba and Otaku Paradise Nipponbashi Neighborhoods!

&Here OSAKA NAMBA is tucked away in a corner of Ura-Namba.
Right in front of the hotel is the Nipponbashi area, famous as a haven of otaku culture!

Nipponbashi is full of shops selling games, anime, and manga. It’s such a hub of Japan’s world-famous otaku culture!

Just beyond Nipponbashi, you’ll find the Shinsekai area, home to one of Osaka’s most iconic landmarks: Tsutenkaku Tower.

Shinsekai is definitely one of Osaka’s top sightseeing spots! Visit and enjoy the kushikatsu (fried skewers) or try your luck at a shooting game.

On the other hand, if you look north from the hotel, you’ll find a bunch of must-see places like Sennichimae Shopping Street, Namba Grand Kagetsu (home of Osaka comedy), and the busy bustling Kuromon Market, known for its great food.

And of course, Dotonbori is on the top of everyone’s list!

Dotonbori is full of famous food spots cooking up takoyaki, ramen, and more. There are so many options, the hardest part is deciding what to eat!
And once you make it to Ebisubashi Bridge, don’t forget to snap a photo with the iconic Glico sign!

And you won’t want to miss Ura-Namba, the neighborhood where &Here OSAKA NAMBA is located.
It’s packed with cozy bars and izakayas—be sure to explore this local nightlife hotspot too!

The scenery of shop signs lining narrow backstreets is absolutely charming!
Even if you go out drinking in Ura-Namba, the hotel is so close, you can enjoy yourself without worrying about how to get back♪

Easy Access to Nara and Kobe—The Perfect Base for Exploring All of Kansai!

Expanding your travel radius, Osaka sits right in the middle of major cities like Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe—making it the perfect base to explore them all at once.
&Here OSAKA NAMBA is just a short walk from from Osaka-Namba Station, where you can catch direct trains heading to either Kobe or Nara.
Plus, the nearby Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line connects to the Hankyu Railway, which will take you up to Kyoto as well. This location is incredibly convenient to travel around the region!

This is Yasaka Pagoda in Kyoto.
People love getting dressed in kimono and strolling around the charming streets of Kyoto.
More and more travelers are staying multiple nights in Osaka and taking day trips to nearby cities like Kyoto.
That’s one of the big reasons I highly recommend &Here OSAKA NAMBA as your base!

How to Get to &Here OSAKA NAMBA From Namba Station

Finally, let me explain how to get to &Here OSAKA NAMBA!

After arriving at Namba Station via Osaka Metro or the Nankai Electric Railway, head toward the first floor of Namba CITY.
The Osaka Metro has three lines serving Namba Station—Midosuji, Sennichimae, and Yotsubashi. If you take Exit 4 it will lead you directly into Namba CITY.

Keep going straight through the first floor of Namba CITY, and head outside the door on the far end.

Once you exit Namba CITY, turn left and keep going towards the intersection up ahead.

You’ll see all kinds of tempting restaurants and shops so you might be tempted to pop in. But hold off for the moment and keep heading straight ahead!

And that’s it. You’re here!
It only takes about 4 to 5 minutes on foot from the station.

And if you’d prefer to enjoy the cityscape along the way, you can always take Nansan-dori, the street that runs north-south alongside the Takashimaya Department Store. That’s an easy way to get here too!

If you’re taking this route, just turn left at the intersection up ahead.

That’s all I have to say about &Here OSAKA NAMBA for now. It’s definitely a top pick for your stay in Namba!
Hope you’ll come visit Osaka again soon!
