Where you’ll be

Sakai Ward, Osaka, Japan

Sakai is a city full of history, with many small museums, shops and restaurants to explore in the area, on foot or by bike! It's also home to Emperor Nintoku's Mausoleum, a World Heritage Site dating to the 5th century, located just 10 minutes away by foot. I walk around it every day early in the morning and you are free to join me!

The house is an 8 minute walk from Mikunigaoka railway station, with direct trains to popular Osaka areas like Nanba (15 minutes by train) and Tennoji (10 minutes by train). There are also direct trains to Kansai Airport (40 minutes). Sakai is also conveniently located for day trips to Nara, Kyoto, Wakayama, or Koyasan (one of Japan’s most sacred sites with more than 100 temples). You will never run out of things to do in the area!

The house is in a quiet residential neighbourhood but still close to shops, with a supermarket just 3 minutes away.
