OEH is located in Hirakata which is halfway between Kyoto and Osaka and Nara and
Kobe so it's a great place to stay if you need a good hub for traveling around
Kansai. However, the location is a bit annoying if you mainly work/play in just
one of the cities as you'll be faced with a 45+ minute trip every time you head
out or come back...and the last train back from Kyoto is really early. Keihan
runs highway buses directly from Hirakata so it's easy to catch a bus to Tokyo,
Nagoya, Hiroshima, etc. The station is only about a 10 minute walk but the
house is located on a very steep hill. Hirakata is a pretty nice city, it has
great parks, restaurants, a theme park, even a little dance club by the
university. The rooms are very small but comfortable. The rent is a bit high;
you can definitely find larger rooms for cheaper in the Osaka/Kyoto area but you
won't get the same kind of experience if you stay at a normal gaijin or share
house. There are about 12-15 Japanese college students living at the house
which makes it a good place to live if you want to work on your Japanese...kind
of. Even though the place is called Osaka English House and the Japanese
students attend a foreign language university, they aren't necessarily
especially interested in gaijin or English. Keep in mind that most of the
students have been living at the house for years and have seen numerous gaijin
come and go. It'll take some time and a bit of work on your part to get
friendly with them...if you're only at the house for a week or two, plan on
spending your time with the other gaijin in the house. The shared facilities in
the house are pretty nice and well equipped. However, the dirtiness of the
kitchen is a perpetual nuisance as people just don't clean up after
themselves...Japanese college kids don't seem to be much different from their
Western counterparts in that respect. It gets pretty bad over the weekends when
the staff isn't in to clean...I wouldn't even walk in there on a Sunday evening
much less try to cook anything. Overall, it's a nice place but if you go in
thinking that it's going to be similar to staying with a host family because of
the Japanese residents, you'll be very disappointed with the experience.
