A newly built private house, 9 min walk from Tsuruhashi Sta., Osaka — up to 6 guests
*Rating and review count from Airbnb, as of June 2026
A 67-sqm private house where Japanese and Western styles meet. A central atrium gently connects the two floors, bringing warm wood textures and daylight into every room.
Natural light falls from the atrium into the wood-toned living and dining space. Relax on the sofa or share a meal at the table — everyone fits comfortably in one room. A 50-inch TV with Prime Video, Netflix, Apple TV and Hulu is ready for movie nights.
Induction cooktop, microwave, fridge, cookware and basic seasonings — everything you need to cook. Pick up fresh ingredients at Tsuruhashi Market and bring them straight to the table.
Two futon sets on checkerboard tatami. Soft light filters through shoji screens, and a wooden railing overlooks the atrium below. At night, a paper lantern quietly closes the day.
Two double beds and a dedicated workspace by the window. Warm wood and indirect lighting make it a comfortable spot for remote work or travel journaling.
Shower room, washbasin and toilet, plus a washer and a free indoor dryer. Travel light, even on long stays or with small children.
Living, dining, kitchen and bath on the first floor; tatami room and bedroom on the second. The atrium ties the two floors together across 67 sqm.
Baby crib, baby bath, kids' tableware and a high chair are available on request. With the whole house to yourselves, you won't have to worry if the baby cries at night.
Sit in the rocking chair by the window and watch the light move through the atrium. A quiet afternoon made for reading.
Shop at Tsuruhashi Market and Koreatown, both within walking distance, then cook in your own kitchen. A taste of everyday life, even on the road.
Wash and dry your clothes as often as you like with the washer and free indoor dryer. A workspace and fast Wi-Fi make workcations easy too.

★★★★★
Sunlit House is a clean, modern, well-appointed space — exactly as advertised. Travelling with a baby, we really appreciated the cot, high chair, baby dinnerware and baby bath provided. (excerpt)
★★★★★
After a bustling day in Osaka, it was always so nice to come back to the Sunlit House as our little refuge. The design is incredible. Naoto is just as lovely and super responsive. Great location. (excerpt)
★★★★★
The beds were comfortable, the washing machine and dryer were great to have, and the aircon kept the place cool even when it was hot outside. Highly recommend staying here when visiting Osaka! (excerpt)
