TartAMI Residence Osaka
(Fujitatami Guesthouse)
We have an art residency in Osaka, Japan.
Here is the only artist residency in Japan where you can experience tatami art (TartAMI®︎).
Accommodation
You can stay in Japanese traditional house which was built in 60 years ago in the suburb of Osaka.
We'll provide you a private room or a shared room with other artists.
An accommodation is run by a family of tatami (natural rush flooring often seen in temples and tea room) makers. We are located in Izumi, south of Osaka from a short distance to Kansai International Airport: from the closest Izumi-Chuo station there are direct limousine bus to/from the airport (Costs ¥1350.) On the contrary, you might find us a little far from Osaka city center, but still very accessible by train to Osaka Namba station. There are good connections to hiking routes in Nara and Wakayama. You are at home if you are up for a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere where it's calm and welcoming.
