CONTEXTED consists of three independent row houses (Nagaya),
each uniquely designed with its own distinct concept and style.
Each house can accommodate up to 7–8 guests,
with a total capacity of 23 people across all units.
Equipped with kitchens, washing machines, and other amenities,
it’s an ideal choice for both short and long-term stays.
CONTEXTED is located in a quiet residential area known for its many traditional Nagaya houses. The nearest station, Teradacho on the Osaka Loop Line, is just one stop from Tennoji, home to Abeno Harukas, offering both convenience and a local vibe. The area features nearby shopping streets and a vibrant Koreatown. Within walking distance, you’ll also find local attractions like public bathhouses and delicious okonomiyaki restaurants, giving you a true taste of the traditional downtown atmosphere.
Nagaya is a Japanese traditional collective house
where several independent residences
are gathered in one building.
In IKUNO-district, there are many old wooden houses
escaped from war fire, 1/5 of the houses are "nagaya".
Vacant houses are increasing year by year
What if we can continue to enjoy
this city-scape like it used to be?
What if we can change an era of mass consumption
to an era of carefully spinning old good things?
With this in mind, we worked on the renovation
of a "Nagaya" house and opened it as a vacation rental
where you can spend time with your family and friends
as if you're living in the downtown of Osaka.
This Nagaya house was built nearly 100 years ago, before World War II. Though it remained vacant for many years, it has surely witnessed the passage of time and countless stories throughout its history.
While preserving the charming elements of the traditional Nagaya house, such as the exposed beams and walls, it has been renovated to accommodate modern living and functionality.
You can enjoy a relaxing time in a cozy space that blends traditional Japanese culture with modern design.

It’s said that one-third of Ikuno Ward’s population is Korean, adding to the rich, multicultural atmosphere of the area. Nearby, you’ll find one of Japan’s largest Koreatowns, bustling with tourists and vibrant local culture.
The surrounding area offers a unique blend of one of Japan’s largest Korean communities and retro Showa-era(1950~1980) charm. It’s a distinctive atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else in the country.
