Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Lithuania 24th August 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: I can recommend this Ryokan to everyone traveling in Osaka. Great location - close to the Universal Studios and famous Osaka Aquarium. Very friendly English speaking staff. New fresh bad linen and yukata every evening. Great experience of traditional Japanese style accommodation. When I will come back to Osaka some day - I won't look for another option, I will book my room at Kameya Ryokan on the same day.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 16th August 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: We enjoyed our stay here, and the location is convenient for the aquarium (also near to subway for travelling elsewhere). Shame about the 12:00 curfew. The Yukatas are good though.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Malaysia 27th July 2008 Female 31-40 3/5 Comments: Stayed in a shared double room with my sis on the 2nd floor. The owner speaks English. It is near the Osaka Aquarium and IMAX theatre. Room is big as compared to the usual ones in Japan. Had a good stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 10th June 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Nice place with friendly, helpful owners. They provide you with all the toiletries you need such as towels, shampoo, soap etc. Location's very handy to the train, but just outside of the main JR loop. Still very handy though. Would definitely stay there again, and recommend to others.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 11th January 2008 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: We had a nice stay at the Kameya Ryokan. The room was clean and comfortable, and even had a TV. The only problems we had were in communicating with the owner: we needed to cancel our reservation for the first night, and contacted him several times by e-mail, with no response. He had not checked his e-mail, but had no problem about not charging us for the canceled night. All in all, he was very kind, and his English is very good. The place is a little difficult to find (especially at night) and the directions could be a little clearer. But overall, a good stay for the money.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 22nd June 2007 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Resembled a bed and breakfast, very home-like. A nice reception area with a big tv if you need downtime. Rooms upstairs, with common sinks and toilets in the hall. 2 showers and 1 communcal bath in the back half of the downstairs. The couple who owns it speaks English pretty well and are very helpful. Had to take 2 subway lines from to get almost anyway, but the hotel is only a 2min. walk from the station nearest to it; also, the osaka aquarium is only a few blocks from it.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 7th May 2007 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: The owner was very friendly and spoke fluent English.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 7th May 2007 Couple 18-24 4/5 Comments: The Kameya Ryokan is very home-y and that is part of its charm. For being an inn, our accommodations were top notch! The rooms and facilities are exceptionally clean and the gentleman owner is very pleasant. You are even provided with clean towels and yukata or cotton kimono! It was our first time in Japan and we felt very safe and welcome in the Kameya Ryokan. The best part is that the inn is literally less than two minutes from the subway which makes access to Osaka VERY easy!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 1st April 2007 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Very friendly and quiet. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice, quiet place.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 27th February 2007 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Our stay at Kameya Ryokan was very pleasant. It was our first stop after arriving at Osaka and the quietness was just wat we needed. The people were very friendly, nothing to complain. The only drawback was the location, we had to travel quite a bit from and to Osaka main station.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 4th February 2007 Mixed Group 41+ 4/5 Comments: Very friendly, good english. Did not know what to expect and were very pleased with the entire stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 10th October 2006 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: Its so far to the downtown, but is easier arrive. Japanese style, more or less.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 21st August 2006 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: For security it would be very hard to get into the place. If you have a big bag you cant fit it into the lockers so you must trust the other people that are staying next to you.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 18th July 2006 Couple 18-24 4/5 Comments: the couple that runs the inn is very helpful and friendly. as well, the location of the inn is quite decent, and the room we stayed at was very nicely kept and was a good size for two. highly recommended!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 10th July 2006 Mixed Group 41+ 4/5 Comments: An excellent location, in that a limo bus from Kansai takes you to a stop three minutes walking distance from the ryokan. A 1 minute walk from the ryokan takes you to the nearest subway station. A nice neighbourhood.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 6th April 2006 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 10th March 2006 Mixed Group 25-30 4/5 Comments: As backpackers, we felt a little out of place at this more couply ryokan, but it was a welcome change of pace after staying at more traditional backpacking hostels. This place is very quiet and has a midnight curfew, so it won't be for you if you're looking to get loaded on Spring Break. However, if you are looking for a peaceful place to get a good rest in relatively inexpensive private rooms, this place is great. It also gave us a chance to experience what a Japanese inn is like (floor mats, Japanese rooms, green tea in our rooms, etc). The owner is very friendly. This place is also very close to the aquarium.
