POST 大阪の宿と暮らし 1.46

私たちの宿は、大阪のちょっと海寄りのエリアにあります。古くから都市として栄えた大阪の中で、水際のこの街は港として発展しました。
大阪湾に注ぐ川のほとりには鉄工所や造船所ができて、一時はとても活気のある街になり、月日が経ち、港はやがて新しく作られた埋立地に移動してしまって、このあたりは、いくつもの川に挟まれた住宅地として残りました。

ここにはちょっと古くてくたびれた建物が多くて、銭湯や商店街が残っています。
最近では、空家を改装したお店やなんかが少しずつ増えていて、また少しずつ街は表情を変えつつあるようです。

私たちはそういった場所で、手作りの小さな宿をしています。

Our accommodation is located near the west bay area of Osaka City.

In the past, this area flourished as a port. A lot of ironworks and shipyards were built on the banks of the river. For a while, it became a very vibrant part of the city.

Afterward, the port was filled in to make more land. This area became a residential area sandwiched between rivers.

When you walk around this area now, you can find buildings which are old and unused, some public baths, traditional shopping streets and various other details that give this area its personality.

In recent years, this area has gradually been reformed by people renovating old house into cafes, multiple-use spaces, galleries and etc. This new transformation has brought some changes to the atmosphere of this part of town.

We have made some small accommodations in this area.
