We were only 2 blocks from the subway station, Tanimachi 4-chrome Station along the Tanimachi Subway Line and Chuo Subway Line. And about 4 blocks from Osaka Castle (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4000.html) a kind of “Osaka Central Park”. So, so beautiful…

In Japan the main purpose of taking a bath, besides cleaning your body, is relaxation at the end of the day.
The typical Japanese bathroom consists of two rooms, an entrance room where you undress and which is equipped with a sink, and the actual bathroom which is equipped with a shower and a deep bath tub. The toilett is almost always located in an entirely separate room.

When bathing Japanese style, you are supposed to first rinse your body outside the bath tub with a washbowl. Afterwards, you enter the tub, which is used for soaking only. The bath water tends to be relatively hot for Western bathing standards.
After soaking, leave the tub and clean your body with soap. Make sure that no soap gets into the bathing water. Once you finished cleaning and have rinsed all the soap off your body, enter the bath tub once more for a final soaking.
After leaving the tub, the water is usually left for the next member of the house. It is to keep the bath water clean for all members of the house that washing and rinsing is done outside of the actual bathtub.

Japanese futon you can fold it and put it in the closet. They usually have to be dryed under the sun to avoid the cotton inside to get wet and hard.

Very interesting but the bathing sounds like quite a process. The apt looked very clean and efficient. The sleeping pictures were cute :) I bet they were tired! Also, I noticed silverware in the previous meals post but no chopsticks - do they use chopsticks?
