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.

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.

Pleasant stay at a traditional Onsen. The baths were very relaxing and room was clean. Only issue was lack of any meal service.

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.

Good location, nice and big room. The bath is wonderful and all staffs are friendly.

It's a really near from Arimaonsen bus termianl (only takes about 5 min and easy to find it.)and located really clean and quite neighborhood. Even the host could not speak english well but really polite and willing to help me. The room was clean and proper size for 2 people. It's a good room&spa to stay with my family and the breakfast was really nice. Overall good price and cozy place during my trip. I like this place so I’ll be back when I come to Kobe.

The food and service was amazing - we had traditional breakfast and kaiseki and beef sukiyaki for dinner and really enjoyed it. The hotel was well maintained and the room was spacious and clean. Staff was very friendly Thanks for such a wonderful and relaxing stay! We cannot wait to come back!
