Sekai Hotel Fuse

Located in Osaka's bustling shopping district, this accommodation provides new, clean facilities and friendly staff. Guests appreciate the quiet dorms, delicious nearby sandwiches, and easy access to local attractions.

I really cannot express how much I enjoyed my stay at Sekai, it truly is like no other hostel, and I’ve stayed in many. Both the cheapest accommodation I found in Japan, and my favourite - at the heart of what makes this place so special is the staff and owners passion for the Fuse area, helping you to escape the touristy vibe you get in a lot of areas of Japan and make you feel that you are really getting to experience how the locals live, although it is also ideally located to visit the other more well known tourist destinations. I enjoyed my stay so much that I stayed for over a month, returning after trying out other accommodation when they were fully booked, and convinced other travellers I had met elsewhere in Japan to come and stay here (who enjoyed the experience as much as I did). I am currently making plans to return (along with the other guests I stayed with) for the next Danjiri, a local festival I would also highly recommend. I cannot thank Yuki & the rest of the staff at Sekei for a truly unforgettable experience, and I would extend that to the local residents of Fuse too, who were unbelievably warm and welcoming. Hopefully, I will see you all again soon!
