Mimaru alternatives in Osaka/Kyoto?

My family of 5 stayed in Mimaru Okachimachi Tokyo for 8 nights in the middle of April 2026. We loved the space and that we could all stay in one room. We liked having a communal table and fridge. We wished there was a washer/dryer in the room. The main downside was it was $733 USD/night.

Do you have any cheaper good alternatives you would recommend for our next trip? Would AirBNB be a good option? We’re thinking of staying in Osaka and/or Kyoto.
