A homestay in a peaceful surrounding, away from the buzz of the city. We loved the home-cooked dinner and traditional Japanese-style breakfast.

Poor insulation between rooms so you can hear everything the neighbouring guests are doing/saying.

Fantastic, friendly service and excellent meals. The beds were also very comfortable.

- Only public WiFi available

- Yas is the BEST chef, we had such good food. Highly recommend Japanese breakfast & Rokko beef dinner - Beautiful, somewhat secluded, location if you enjoy nature and good views. Good for day trip to Arima Onsen town with Ropeway - The staff are super sweet and friendly - Close to the Cablecar, we didn’t have a car

Nothing about the accomodation; I expected Mount Rocco to be more “wild” instead it’s mostly paved with car traffic

Friendly hosts who may cook for you; nice surrounding; if you are comfortable with a hostel-type accomodation, you will certainly enjoy the place

Was hard to find because of the foggy conditions. We had to hire a taxi from train station, as the cable car from kobe wasn't opperating (getting an upgrade), plus it would have been to hard with our luggage. Once we found it, super easy.

We are travelling with four kids and we loved this place. The hosts, Yas and Miho were so friendly and accomodating. We loved the home cooked meals, especially the Kobe Beef, and just had a great time in the mountains. Yas took us for a walk to see an amazing view the day we left. We went to Arima Onsen for a day trip and it was a short 5min walk to catch the bus to the Arima cable car. Met some great people who were also staying here as well. Our kids had a great time!

Nothing

The meals were exceptionally good! The host made many helpful suggestions and even drove us to the farm! The host was very kind and help with our luggage.

We loved the peaceful, cosy atmosphere, the delicious food and the friendliness of our hosts. We enjoyed the warm fire, mountain views/walks, board games and great facilites. It felt like a home and the perfect city break.

The owners were really friendly and made us comfortable. The location was quiet and peaceful. Our room was simple, but was not a problem at all. It was very clean and we slept really good. The common room is really nice! The Kobe beef dinner was delicious! We definitely will come again. Thank you for having us :)!

Our stay was too short ;-)

You can feel that the owner runs the hotel with passion: very nice location (5 min walk to bus and cable station), clean room, delicious food, fine tea, homemade chocolate was amazing, even for the Swiss. :-) Highlight: near the accommodation there is a wonderful viewpoint from which you can see almost all of Kobe. Only locals know the place, including the owner of course.

The hosts, the location, the food!

Our hosts truly became friends by the time we left. Yasuo and his partner were so friendly and welcoming. If you don’t do anything else order your dinner and lunch from Yasuo. He’s a fantastic chef and will make you or your kids your favorite foods.

The parking and location are not ideal unless you want to explore Rokko mountain.

The food is excellent and prepared with custom orders in mind. The room is quiet and has a nice view of the forest. The beds were simple but comfortable.

The Japanese style breakfast was outstanding. The staff were attentive and very obliging, and were willing to engage with my sons in English, and with me in Japanese. We had an excellent experience.

Nothing, we will be back!

We had the best time in this accomodation on Mt Rokko. Arriving by cable car was idyllic and easy to find from Kobe with the owners instructions. We absolutely loved the food! Actually, we would consider just coming back here to eat again. The owner is an amazing chef and cooked different foods for our stay. While my husband loved the Kobe beef, our teenage girls ate all the homecooked bread. My favourite was a delicious salad and grilled marinated japanese radish.. I still dream about them:-). The owners speak great english and was able to direct us well. We enjoyed an outing to Arima Onsen town from here by ropeway. Most likely our favourite stay in Japan!

Sauna, room price and nice owners

Stayed in January 2024

Everything exceeded our expectations.

Our family of four had the most wonderful stay at Rokko Outdoor Station. The hosts were so generous, welcoming and went above and beyond to share this magical part of the world with us. The homemade food was superb, the beds very comfortable and the views were breathtaking. We loved walking through the forest, warming up in the sauna after a day in the snow, playing board games by the fire and enjoying the company and hospitality of the knowledgeable and delightful hosts, Yas and Miho.

Nothing, best place I've stayed

The staff were some of the nicest people I have meet in Japan. So welcoming to have us in there home and we loved spending time with them all 10/10. Also the house was so fun and had beautiful art in the stair well.

None at all.

Such a beautiful location on the mountain top with very generous and hospitable hosts. A beautiful experience and getaway from the city.

All was nice. I would suggest some board games for the guests to use.

We liked it however the weather was bad!

The parking situation isn't great if you are coming by car. The room had no curtains and was very bright early in the morning. Very thin walls!

Excellent meal service, timely communication, friendly staff

Stayed in June 2023

We picked this hotel because we love the location which is by the mountain. The stay will make you get close to nature and outdoor activities. The rooms and beds are only for people who can sleep like they are in camping sites. They made homemade meals as we requested and it was great! I love that they have home sauna for me to relax. They also recommended places for us to visit to add up on our travel around the town.
