Nice, private 1 room apt.in Shin Osaka

★NOT AVAILABLE-賃貸中★　

SHIN OSAKA (JR line and midosuji subway) Private 1 room apartment on the 2nd floor of an 11 floor building. Fully furnished with everything-fridge, tv/video/dvd player, single bed (or can put a double futon in for 2 people) all bedding and pillow/s, microwave/oven/grill combo unit (only one month old), aircon/heater, closet, double gas cooker, utensils, plates/glasses/pots/pans, bath and hand towels etc. Basically everything you need. Has a small balcony.
There is a 24 hour coin laundry on the 1st floor of the building that has several washers and dryers.(200yen for each use). There are also restaurants on the 1st floor- 2 are Japanese, one is a cheap Japanese fast food shop (they have amazing yakisoba and okonimiyaki for 500yen) an Indian restaurant (with super cheap lunch sets) and a super cheap Yakiniku restaurant. There is also a kids game shop and a beauty salon.
Close to everything. Most facilities are within a few minutes on foot. 2 hospitals (one was built in 2006 and is a 10 minute walk, the other is just a few minutes on foot), 24 hour MAX VALUE supermarket (2 floors with an unbelievable selection of cheap cooked foods/meals-ideal for somebody that hates cooking like me! :) ), Sakae supermarket, a wholesale supermarket, trendy restaurants and cafes, 24 hour family restaurant, Royal host family restaurant, bento shops, chinese restaurants, starbucks, Tullys coffee shop, Mos burger, HUGE 3 floor "daiso" 100 yen shop and a smaller 2 floor 100 yen shop, HUGE shopping plaza etc.
In the station (10 mins on foot), there is also Mcdonalds, an international foods shop selling foods/groceries from the all over the world, along with around 50 other specialty shops. 2 KFC chicken shops and 2 Mister donuts shops are 10 minutes on foot.
The new Joshin electrical store and Konan home center, along with some other small shops is scheduled to open in March 2007 and is a 1 minute walk from the apt.
Shin Osaka is only about 4 or 5km to Umeda, so I would estimate about 20-25 minutes by bicycle. Juso (Hankyu line)is only about 1km away and has amazing shopping/restaurants along with supermarkets, fast food, clothes stores etc.
Shin Osaka is also an express stop for ALL shinkansen trains and regular trains , and is the home of the Airport Express train (it only takes about 40 minutes to get to Kansai airport).
