Is there somewhere cheap to stay overnight?

How easy is it to find the Korean Embassy?

Is there a map (perhaps on the internet) which explains how to get to the embassy.

Does anyone have any good advice?

Any pitfalls to watch out for?

The cheapest place to stay in Osaka is in one of the capsule hotels. It is also a really interesting experience. It should cost $20 - $40 (US). I lived just outside of Osaka for three years.

The capsule hotels are the cheapest and I love them. However, if you're a female you may be hard pressed to find one. 99% of them are for men only.

Good Point! I forgot about that!

There are a few that have capsules for women in the Nanba area. You can ask at any tourist agency. There are many in the area.
