Thanks to all who assisted in helping me find the location of the large Daiso store in Osaka. With the photos and maps provided to me, I was able to find the store fairly easily!
Also, in case anyone else would like to know, there is also a medium-sized (3 smaller floors) Daiso in Shisaibashi Suji near the subway station.
Also for anyone recommending reasonably priced accommodations for friends/family, the Comfort Hotel Shinsaibashi was excellent value at $63 a night for a single (full sized bed) with remarkable free wireless internet (the fastest I've seen in my trips to different countries, and even better than I get at home!) and a continental breakfast included in the price....and close to subway, shopping, food and not far from Dotonbori either.
