This Ryokan does not do food of any kind. Inaccurate description on expedia. It is close to everything in the area.. Yukatas provided are quite small. Onsen is small but adequate. Bit wear and tear but expected for old building. Staff where polite and helpful.

A bit grim I'm afraid, very worn, it really is time that it had an upgrade of some sort - everything about it was shabby and worn down. I'm sorry to say that but it wouldn't be fair on others if I didn't. Clean but that's about the best I can say. There is no 'spa' and no 'massage' as advertised which I established before arrival, the public bath is pretty grim. My room door didn't lock, it did from the inside but not the outside - they must know, I wasn't bothered as I consider Japan very safe and I had nothing to take. Room basic, futon and duvet, very comfortable and lovely fluffy duvet. No shower - it may be that you are expected to use the one in the public bath' but it was a hand held hose so impossible to wash my hair and hold the hose. No kettle but a flask with hot water for the powered green tea. First time I've had no kettle (first time I've had no shower!) Very central, so perfect for exploring the area - it was only one night so it was ok, I wouldn't have been happy had it been any longer. The area shuts down at 5.30 which was a bit of a surprise.

We loved this ryokan. It was beautiful, well-located, and had its own onsen. Also there’s excellent hiking nearby. Perfect!

This Ryokan is not fancy or modern but was perfect for what we needed. We wanted a traditional experience and a few days away from the sounds of Tokyo. Kamiobo is located in the neighbourhood of Aroma Onsen, a quiet village just outside of Kobe. Kamiobo felt like we were staying at a B&B. It was comfortable, unique and traditional. We used the Onsen every morning and night and they had no issues with our tattoos! Each morning we drank our tea in our sunroom which was a nice way to start the day. Sleeping on the floor was quite the experience but this stay will definitely help define our trip to Japan. Only negative is that Aroma Onsen is a bit of a sleepy town, restaurants close early and there are limited food and drink options after 8pm.

喧騒を離れて一人で過ごすにはうってつけかも

両親の供養の巡礼途中で宿泊しました。有馬は道幅が狭く、複雑で、散々迷ってようやくたどり着きました。少し古めかしいお宿でしたが、お部屋は広く清潔で、くつろげました。お風呂は、源泉に一番近く、濃厚で、一日中歩き回った疲れがすぐとれました。二日間冬日のような寒さでしたが、冷え性を忘れるくらい身体が芯から温まって快適に過ごすことができました。朝食も美味しかったです。お世話をしてくださったおばちゃんがとても親切で親しみやすかったです。 方向音痴で散々道に迷って到着が遅くなってしまい、迎えに来てくださった方をずいぶん待たせてしまい、ご迷惑をかけてしまいました。ごめんなさい。

좋았습니다.

정말 좋았습니다. 체크인시간보다 조금 늦었는데도 친절하게 대해주셔서 정말 감사했습니다. 방은 깔끔하고 단정한 느낌이었습니다. 온천은 제공된 이미지와 같습니다. 작지만 물이 좋습니다. 조금 불편했던 점은 역과의 거리가 조금 멀었고 일본 가옥 자체가 우풍이 있어 잘때 좀 추웠습니다. 하지만 전체적으로 매우 만족스럽습니다.

Not what I expected

For the price I expected there to be some food. I was surprised to find there was none and was disappointed with Expedia's description. Most of the overnight guests eat in their hotels and ryokans, so finding a meal is difficult. The bath water was excellent--but that is shared by all the lodges. The bathroom, on the other hand, down cold concrete steps, was simply a bare, tiled room with two tubs. The price is probably common to the area since it is so famous, but compared to all the other places I've stayed at in Japan, I did not think the value was there.

오래된 멋진 료칸

따뜻하고 좋은 료칸. 지난번에 아리마온천에 갔을땐 숙소가 셔틀로 움직여야해서 좀 불편했으나, 이 료칸은 걸어서 갈수있어 좋음. 주인장도 친절하고 욕탕은 많이 작고 아담하지만 물이 뜨끈뜨끈 아주 뜨거워서 찬물을 한참 틀어 식힌 뒤 들어감. 단점은 밤 11시가 되면 문을 잠근다는 점과 같은 시각에 온천도 중단하는 점. 나머지는 다 괜찮았음.

Good Ryokan!

한적하고 조용해서 좋았습니다. 일본 전통 료칸을 저렴하게 느낄 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 투숙객이 많았으면 자체 온천탕을 즐길 수 있었겠으나 저 혼자뿐인 관계로 그것까지는 못했습니다. 민박 같은, 수수한 정이 느껴지는 료칸이었습니다. 추천합니다.
