[Hotel Cargo premium capsules]

A night in a capsule hotel is a classic “only in Japan” experience, but there are two problems with traditional capsule hotels: most only accept male guests and the capsules are generally quite small and drab. Hotel Cargo has neither of these problems: It welcomes female guests and the capsules are quite spacious, bright and very comfortable. And, it’s not just the capsules that are nice, the whole place has a modern, upbeat vibe and it’s a nice place to hang out and meet people.

We love the location of Hotel Cargo: It’s in Shinsaibashi, which is a great part of the Minami district, but it’s outside the really seething (and sometimes seedy) nightlife districts around Dotombori. You can walk to almost anything worth seeing in Minami and it’s also a short walk to the all-important Midosuji Subway Line, which is the most important transport artery in Osaka.

So, if you want to spend your money on having fun and eating well and you want to be close to the action in Minami, grab your backpack and make a beeline for Hotel Cargo!
