Fodor's Review:
Osaka's only member of the inexpensive Japanese Inn Group is a partly wooden structure with 15 Japanese-style rooms. It's a very basic but quiet, no-frills operation run by two delightful old ladies who will direct you to the abundance of restaurants and cafés nearby. Close to the electrical-appliance and computer center of Den Den Town and the National Theater, Ebisu-so Ryokan is a five-minute walk from Ebisu-cho Station (Exit A-2) on the Sakai-suji subway line.
