Smith Oasis is a one-of-a-kind, luxury guesthouse in central Osaka, close to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi, yet surrounded by lush greenery and a waterside setting with flowing waterfalls. More than simply creating a place to stay in this “concrete jungle,” the owner has poured their vision into building an oasis where you can truly unwind. The Japanese-modern interior features diatomaceous earth walls and ceilings, solid wood floors and pillars, and carefully selected natural materials throughout—enhanced by art from around the world to create a space like an art gallery. In each Room, you can relax in a calm living-dining area or on a spacious balcony with plants. With a full kitchen, large bathroom, and washing machine provided, it is also ideal for long stays—perfect for “living” here as you travel. The penthouse is a maisonette layout, and the 5th-floor rooftop garden can be used for events or dinner gatherings while enjoying views of the greenery and waterfalls. Soak in nature so serene you’ll forget you’re in the heart of a major city—and enjoy your own oasis in Osaka.
