My stay at Osaka Ryokan Kuramoto was a unique experience, especially with the traditional atmosphere and the nice public bath. The location is super convenient, just a stone's throw from the lively Dotonbori area. However, the room was a bit snug, and my sleep was disrupted by noisy vending machines nearby. Overall, a solid choice for an authentic ryokan experience at a reasonable price.
