二十代半ばに初めて体験したシェアハウスがここでした。最上階のだだっ広い共有部屋には、さまざまな国籍の人が上がってきます。 ときには管理人さんをも交え、お酒など傾け合い談笑し、住みながらにして非日常というか、海外経験乏しい自身にとって濃密な日々であったと言えましょう。 そんな思い出深いオレンジハウスは、各部屋にミニコンロ、気さくな管理人さんの常駐（家賃はアナログな手渡し！）、 下町情緒漂う立地にありながら近くに発展著しい天王寺と、住み心地よく、人に紹介したくなる場所でもあるのです。

In 2013 my girlfriend and I decided to take a break from our full-time jobs in New Zealand and travel to Japan to share an exciting new life experience. We decided to base ourselves in Osaka as the Kansai area really appealed to us and before leaving NZ we started researching the types of accommodation there was on offer.
We narrowed our list down weighing up location versus cost and finally decided on Banana House in Sakai city. To us it looked to have a fun vibe & great character. It was very affordable and it’s proximity to train & subway stations proved highly convenient. It was also very close to all sorts of shops & restaurants.
We shared one of the tatami rooms and became very fond & attached to it during our stay. It had all the essentials & we really enjoyed living on traditional tatami mats whilst sleeping on futons. Our neighbours were friendly & considerate and during our stay we met many great people, local & foreign. Some have become very close friends and we plan to keep it that way too!
In conclusion, Banana house rules!

I have been in Melon House since October, 2013. The house is conveniently located in the center of Osaka, close to the Namba and Shinsaibashi area for all your entertainment needs. The surrounding neighborhood has lots of utilities (convenience stores, supermarkets, coin laundry,etc…) it makes daily life more convenient. The closest station (Nipponbashi) is only 5 minutes away.
Every room is furnished in the Japanese style(tatami, futon, kotatsu table, etc…), and has all the electric appliances needed (including an iron and a vaccum cleaner) as well as utensils to start your life right away. Also High Speed internet is ready in every room.

Lemon House(檸檬屋)係一間位於大阪市浪速區嘅一間Guest House，喺難波站行過去都係10分鐘左右，而且附近就係遊客區，好似心齋橋、美國村、梅田、通天閣等等…真係好方便！ 至於Lemon House嘅設備就好齊全，例如微波爐、多士爐、冷氣暖氣等等，一般嚟講家具方面都唔洗擔心，住得好舒服！而且天檯有間公用嘅小房間，可以睇吓電視,瞓吓覺， 而且可以識到世界各地嘅朋友，真係好開心架！
我係香港人，去過Lemon House住過3次，第1次係2010年7月-2011年4月，嗰次係嚟日本Working Holiday，住過幾個地方，覺得Lemon House最好，所以就揀咗呢度住最耐。
第2次係2013年5月22日-29日，嚟咗8日7夜大阪旅行，返嚟揾我D朋友。第3次係2013年8月5日-9月2日，返嚟揾我一個好重要嘅人，而且佢都係住Lemon House，一齊住咗1個月， 因為呢度真係住得好舒服嘛… 我哋嘅Guest House管理人非常好人，我喺日本生活時遇上困難，佢都會幫手，令我可以喺日本完成一年Working Holiday。而且佢都會定期舉行Party，一方面聯誼吓，一方面交流吓文化，增 進咗我哋香港人同日本人之間嘅友誼，管理人可謂功不可沒！
Lemon House係我住過嘅Guest House最開心嘅地方，而且好多回憶，期望下一次去日本，都係住返呢度！你問我Lemon House有咩缺點，我真係諗唔到，哈哈！

Ich habe ungefähr 9 Monate im Apple House gewohnt. Es ist sehr neu und modern. Es gibt einen tollen Gemeinschaftsraum mit großem TV und einer tollen Küche. Die Zimmer sind zwar klein, aber gemütlich! Ich habe im Apple House viele tolle Leute kennengelernt und manche davon wurden Freunde für‘s Leben!
9ヶ月間ぐらいアップルハウスに住んでいました。アップルハウスは新しくて、モダンな感じです。
共有の部屋には大きなテレビととても素敵なキッチンがあり、個室は狭いけど、住み心地がいいです。
アップルで色んな人に知り合うことができ、その中には一生失いたくない友達もできました。

Située dans un quartier calme, Orange House offre un bon compromis entre proximité des quartiers animés et loyer abordable. Les chambres sont suffisamment grandes et bien équipées. L’espace commun est très grand, offrant aux résidents une possibilité de se rencontrer facilement. À recommander !

I stayed at Melon House already twice. The first time when I did a ‘Working & Holiday’ in Osaka for about one year and I loved to live there, so I decided to stay there again the next time I came to Osaka. The apartments are clean, cozy and fully furnished and you will find there anything that you need. Especially if you are interested into the Japanese culture you will enjoy staying at the Japanese style apartments with their tatami mats, futons and the typical heating table, called kotatsu.
Furthermore the area where the Melon House is located is really convenient, especially if you like to go out and to enjoy the night life because it is so close to the center that you can basically get there by walking about 5 to 10 minutes. So you will not need to worry about catching the last train. Around Melon House there are also a lot of convenience stores and supermarkets, so you never have to walk far to get anything you need. And if you have any problems or questions, the manager of Melon House is so nice and friendly and he also speaks English, so he is always there to help you out and you don’t have to worry about anything. I will never forget the great time that I had when I stayed at Melon House and I would always come back!

大阪に引っ越して来た際、日本橋のレモンハウスに半年ほど滞在しました。毎日がなんか修学旅行の夜のようでオモロかったです。 ルームメイトや他のゲストのみんなとコモンルームでパーティをしたり(名目がある時も無い時もw)、時には真面目な話を打ち明けあってお互い涙する事もあった。
僕は色んな人に出会ってみたいし、色んな世界を知りたい。人種、国籍、言語とか違っても、ゼスチャーだけで案外イケるもんですw
本当に色んなゲストが訪れ、また旅立って行きます。別れは辛いです。でもあの場所と時間を共にしたって事はコレ凄い確率っす。出逢った人は自分の人生に入っちゃうんです。
今はfacebookなどのSNSも広まったのでその後の交友も便利です。思わぬ出逢いには最高の場やと感じました〜
となりで口開けて寝てる奴は実はトンデモナイ大物だった（笑）r(´Д` )r
補足。
ここのマネージャーは色んなイベントを企画します。日本の風習に沿った季節の行事からふざけた企画まで（笑）オトナが真剣にバカやった時の感動はタマランですよ。 いまだに混ぜてもらってます（笑）
短い期間でも住んでみたら自分発見ある思いますよ（笑）
何処かで逢いましょ♪ コードネームはAZ です ( ´3`)y━･~~

Estuvimos un mes mi novia y yo por vacaciones en Apple house y nos gusto mucho. El estudio esta bien equipado con cocina,utensilios de cocina, utensilios de limpieza,tiene aire acondicionado/calefación, TV, futones,lavadora,etc, en fin, todo lo que uno puede necesitar. El único inconveniente de la habitación es que es muy pequeña para lo que estamos acostumbrados en occidente,pero es acogedor,por lo que a mi personalmente no me importó.También se puede utilizar la sala común, con un salón y una cocina mucho mas completa. La situación es muy buena, a un minuto del metro y a 10 o 15 minutos andando de Namba,zona céntrica con comercios, restaurantes…etc. Hay dos supermercados junto al edificio bastante baratos.
También hay que destacar la amabilidad del manager,siempre dispuesto a ayudar en cualquier cosa que necesites.

My experience at Orange House was amazing! I had a really great time meeting new friends from all over the world and attending the parties Guest House Osaka always put on. I stayed at Orange House for about a year and the manger there was very nice and helpful, he always informed me on the places to see and do during my stay. My room had everything I needed and was very convenient. It doesn’t matter if you’re there during the winter season; pretty much every room has a kotatsu which I used every night! Overall Orange House is a great place to stay whether you’re there for a year or only a week.

My boyfriend and I originally planned on staying at Banana House for a few days until we found a more permanent living situation but wound up staying a year!
The place is clean and convenient and best of all it’s CHEAP! Everything is included in the price. The rooms are spacious, clean and equipped with a TV, air conditioner, kotatsu and futon. The bathrooms and kitchen were pretty basic, no frills.It’s a 10 minute walk to the train station but from there it’s super quick to get to the city/Namba.
Overall, we were very satisfied with Banana House and would definitely stay there again.

2013년 여름에 간사이 지방을 여행하면서 여성 전용 도미토리에 일주일간 머물렀어요. 게스트하우스까지는 공항에서 난카이 전철로 환승 없이 30분, 남바역에서 도보 10분 정도 걸려요. 주택가라 안전하고 조용하게 지낼 수 있었고 근처에 야끼토리집, 규동집, 벤또집, 세븐일레븐 등도 있어서 편했어요. 방에는 자물쇠 달린 개인 사물함이 하나씩 있구요. 부엌이랑 유닛 배스도 있어서 낮에는 돌아다니고 밤에는 반신욕하고 맥주 한잔씩 하고 잤어요. 다만 건물은 낡고 좁은 편이에요. 저렴한 값에 숙박, 식사, 빨래 등을 해결하고 친구도 사귀고 싶은 여행자에게 추천해요.

La guesthouse si trova a due passi dalla stazione della metropolitana, in una zona con vari servizi utili nelle vicinanze (convenience store, supermercati, uffici postal ecc.) e comodissima per raggiungere Namba.
Unico difetto: la grandezza delle camere, sono davvero molto molto piccole.
La stanza comune al piano terra dispone di una cucina ben attrezzata e di un grande televisore; il manager è molto disponibile e organizza periodicamente feste o ritrovi per permettere agli ospiti di fare amicizia e divertirsi assieme.
In conclusione, a parte le dimensioni ridottissime della stanza mi sono trovata bene in questa guesthouse.

Having stayed at Orange House on numerous occasions and for extended periods (> 12 month) I can recommend its character, location and friendly management. Close to the rapidly redeveloping hub of Tennoji, as well as the grittier Shinsekai area, it is an easy subway journey away from many of Osaka’s highlights. Definitely 1st choice for my next visit to Osaka.
Peter/Australia/ORANGE HOUSE
Hier gibt es alles, was man braucht. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich, die Anbindung an die Bahnen ist sehr gut. Wegen der netten Leute, die sich mehrmals die Woche im Gemeinschaftsraum zusammenfinden habe ich mich hier schon bald wie Zuhause gefühlt.

오사카 여행을 함께한 레몬하우스~ 매니저님이 진짜 친절하세요. 이것저것 다 챙겨주시고 한번은 같이 간 친구가 밤에 많이 아팠는데 새벽까지 여는 약국에서 약도 사다 주셨어요. 너무 고마워서 편지 써드리고 나왔어요. 방 사람들이랑도 하루만에 친해져서 버너 빌려서 옥상에서 나베도 해먹고 마쯔리도 놀러가고 진짜 재밌었어요^^ 장기체류하는 일본인 언니랑은 한국 온 뒤에도 계속 연락해요. 외국에서 친구 사귀는 거 좋아하시면 레몬하우스 강추!

Ich mag das Lemon House. Es ist günstig, man lernt eine Menge interessante Leute kennen und das Haus liegt ziemlich Zentral in Osaka. Daher kann man Abends auch mal fort gehen ohne Angst haben zu müssen, man verpasst die letzte Bahn, da alles in der Nähe ist, das man braucht. Wenn man nichts gegen Mitbewohner hat, gerne mit anderen redet, ist das eine ziemlich gute Gelegenheit Leute in Osaka kennen zu lernen.
