The Common Lounge & Cultural Events

The hostel has a large common lounge area on the 3rd floor with both a Western style section and a Japanese style tatami floored section. This contains a small library, a TV, and a computer and printer that can be used by all the guests. This lounge area is designed to encourage interaction between the guests who come here from all corners of the world. To further this aim the hostel holds cultural events here every week, such as sake tasting parties, or cooking parties in which the guests and staff get together to make and eat Osaka’s famous takoyaki octopus dumplings or okonomiyaki pancakes.

Food & Refreshments

There is a drinks vending machine supplied with soft drink and alcoholic beverages in the common area, and free tea and coffee are also supplied. There is also a large common use kitchen on the 3rd floor stocked with a refrigerator, toaster, and microwave oven. The Drop Inn recently added a mini-shop to the 3rd floor with snacks, soft drinks, cup noodles, and alcoholic beverages all on sale for 150 yen. Simple breakfast foods such as bread and pastries can also be bought here for just 100 yen. If you are still hungry then there is a ramen restaurant on the 1st floor.

The Drop Inn will store your luggage for free on the day you check in and until 4pm on the day you check out. However, as the hostel has limited storage facilities, they recommend using the facilities in Osaka Station after you check out.
