Guesthouse “Tatsumiya” Pre-Opening Stay Invitation
Would you like to share the story of a new kind of stay—one that lets you live history rather than just observe it?
In June 2025, a new guesthouse called Tatsumiya will open in Tenma, Osaka—a town where the spirit of Edo-era merchants and their refined lifestyle still lingers.
Before the official opening, we are looking for influencers and creators to experience a one-night free stay during our pre-opening period from mid to late May.
-------
- What is “Tatsumiya”?
Tatsumiya is a two-story townhouse-style guesthouse, carefully reconstructed with historical authenticity and modern comfort.
Authentic Edo-style architecture featuring original lattice doors, kura doors, and other traditional fittings
Designed with the philosophy of Osaka merchants: "Spend modestly, impress meaningfully" and "Trust is everything"
A minimalist yet luxurious space where the act of staying becomes the highlight of your journey
From the outside, it may seem like a quiet traditional home.
But once inside, you'll find a perfect balance of historical atmosphere, serenity, and thoughtful design.
It’s more than just "staying like a local"—it’s living history.

- Discover Tenma: Osaka’s Hidden Gem
Tatsumiya is located in Tenma, one of Osaka’s most vibrant and local-centered neighborhoods.
Unlike major tourist areas, Tenma offers a genuine slice of everyday Osaka life.
Home to Japan’s longest shopping street, Tenjinbashisuji Shotengai
Local eateries, markets, and retro izakayas loved by Osakans
Unique backstreet standing bars, art spaces, and hidden galleries
Only one train stop from Osaka Station—super accessible
We want you to explore and share the deeper side of Tenma through your own lens.
We’ll even provide a local guidebook to help first-time visitors navigate with ease.

- Why We Want You to Share Tatsumiya
Tatsumiya is not just a guesthouse.
It’s a space designed to revive the philosophy, aesthetic, and way of living of Edo-era merchants in a modern context.
“We want guests to experience culture—not just observe it.”
“We want to redefine what travel means in Japan.”
As the very first people to experience this space, your voice carries meaning.
We hope you’ll use your platform to tell the story of a place that blends past and present, tradition and lifestyle.
This is more than a collaboration—it’s a chance to create something meaningful, together.
Feel history. Enjoy the moment.
And be part of a new kind of journey with us.
We look forward to your application.
