An "Apartment Hotel" Option with Spacious Rooms, Home Amenities, and Hotel Support
With the growth of inbound tourism, more families, relatives, and groups of friends are visiting Japan, staying for several days in one city while exploring the surrounding areas. As a result, the number of travelers and their ways of spending time have become more diverse.
Accommodation options have also expanded beyond traditional hotels and ryokan to include vacation rentals and serviced apartments, allowing travelers to choose a place that best suits their needs. In recent years, there has been a surge in the opening of "apartment hotels," which are equipped with kitchens, dining areas, laundry facilities, and allow families or groups to stay together in the same room.
Apartment hotels offer rooms that can accommodate larger groups and are suitable for medium- to long-term stays. Since opening its first property in 2018, MIMARU has developed apartment hotels in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, featuring spacious rooms of over 40㎡, with kitchens, dining areas, and laundry facilities, so that even large groups can stay together. In addition, MIMARU provides travel support from a multinational staff with diverse cultural and language backgrounds, as well as services to assist families traveling with children, aiming to be not just a place to stay, but a reliable partner during your trip.
Room Design That Balances "The Joy of Being Together" and "Personal Comfort": 100㎡, 3-Bedroom Suites for Multi-Generational and Multiple Families
On the top floor of "MIMARU Osaka Namba STATION ANNEX," you'll find the "Sky Garden 3-Bedroom Suite" featuring a private terrace. This spacious 100㎡ suite includes three bedrooms, each with two single beds, as well as a living and dining area where everyone can gather and chat. From the 39㎡ terrace, you can enjoy sweeping views of the lively Namba city center and the Ikoma mountains, creating an open and inviting space for everyone to relax and have a great time together.
To ensure a comfortable stay even for large groups, the suite is equipped with three sinks, two toilets, a bathroom and a separate shower room, as well as a washer-dryer—making it ideal for trips with groups of adults. In addition to six adults, up to two children under the age of six can share beds with adults. Whether it’s a three-generation family trip, a group vacation with multiple families, or a special celebration, everyone can enjoy memorable moments together.
Each guest can enjoy quiet time in their own bedroom, as well as laughter and conversation together in the living room or on the terrace. Even with a large group, you don’t have to split into separate rooms—this warm space allows you to share quality time and conversation throughout your trip.
Rooms for Every Group Size and Style, from Families of Four to Large Groups
In addition to the suite above, there are various types of rooms for up to six guests, which make up half of the property. Options include a 60㎡ two-bedroom unit with bunk beds for privacy, and a unique 58㎡ one-bedroom unit with a king-size bunk bed where a family of four can sleep together. Each room offers its own distinctive features.
For groups of up to four, there are rooms with bunk beds that children will love, rooms with four single beds lined up, and accessible rooms of the same type. You can choose the perfect layout to suit your family size, children’s ages, and travel style.
All rooms are equipped with a kitchen, dining table, and washer-dryer. Whether you’re traveling with small children or staying for an extended period, you’ll feel right at home and completely at ease.
