"Kamiobo Ryokan" Reviews & Details

• An Absolute "Must" if You Prioritize the Quality of the Onsen Water

  nice! 0
• "Kami-Daibo" is an inn I highly recommend for its outstanding value. Now, this is not a luxury hotel. However, the quality of its "Kinsen" (Gold Spring) water—the most important thing in Arima Onsen—is simply the best. It draws its water from a spot right next to the famous "Tenjin Gensen" source, so the water is exceptionally fresh. The opportunity to soak in the "transparent Kinsen," which is the color of the water before it hits the air and oxidizes, is incredibly rare, even in Arima. And of course, it is 100% gensen kakenagashi (free-flowing directly from the source). Here's the practical tip: If you're aiming for a budget under 15,000 JPY, the "breakfast included" plan is the sweet spot. If you want to genuinely savor authentic hot spring water, I truly cannot recommend this place enough.

• Right in the Heart of the Action: Perfect for Street Food & Exploring

• If you're looking for a great value stay in Arima, "Kami-Daibo" is a must-check. It's located right in the middle of the atmospheric "Yumotozaka" street. This means the moment you step outside, you're instantly in the onsen town. It's super convenient for tabe-aruki (snacking and walking) and souvenir hunting. To stick to your budget, the "sudomari" (room-only, no meals) plan is the sure bet. Besides, hunting for a great restaurant in the onsen town for dinner is part of the fun! And don't worry, you still get the full onsen experience: the inn’s bath has Arima's famous "Kinsen" (Gold Spring), flowing 100% direct from the source (gensen kakenagashi). It's the perfect setup for a trip for two where you want to max out on both sightseeing and onsen time, all on a smart budget.

• In Arima Onsen, there is a delicious soba restaurant called "Soba Tsuchiyamajin." I recommend the "Kamidaibo" Hotel, which is close to this restaurant. It is a charming inn that retains the atmosphere of the Showa era. Meals include "Sanda beef sukiyaki" and "Banshu chicken sukiyaki."

• Although it is a little small, it is perfect for enjoying Arima Onsen town. For dinner, you can walk around the hot spring town and enjoy Visiting hot springs. The bath at the inn is also a hot spring source, so you can take a luxurious and relaxing bath. The rooms are small and Japanese-style, and are a relaxing space.
