A few streets from Shinsekai and Tsutenkaku Tower, about four minutes on foot from Dobutsuen-mae Station, MIST is a house with its own outdoor sauna. You rent the whole place, so the sauna and the garden are never shared with other guests.
Evening: heat the sauna, cool off in the garden
The outdoor electric sauna heats up to 100°C. There is a private shower right next to it, and the Japanese garden is where you cool down. Instructions come with your check-in message.

Night: movies on the tatami
The tatami room downstairs has a projector that fills the wall. Two large double futons fit on the floor, so you can watch lying down.
- Up to 8 guests (two double beds upstairs, two double futons in the tatami room)
- Full kitchen, including a takoyaki plate and a rice cooker
- About 5 minutes to Tennoji and 10 minutes to Namba
What a guest said
One of the best stays I've had in Japan. The private outdoor sauna was the highlight — after exploring Osaka, coming back to our own sauna felt amazing.
