Masaru was an exceptional host, always eager to make sure we were comfortable. He even drove us to a lookout at the top of a mountain that provided a great view of Osaka and Kobe. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had all the things we needed for our 4 night stay. Kobe is very close to Himeji Castle, an absolute must see in Japan.

Great room with a nice view. Private open-air onsen was really enjoyable. Staff was very attentive and their hospitality was really on a high level. My wife had a birthday so the hotel managed to prepare a nice gift for her - amazing! The food... oh the food... Chef Ota-san and his crew have managed to prepare one of the most enjoyable feasts I've ever had. Big thanks to everybody involved in preparation of such culinary joy! My next visit in Arima will surely be here again!

The facilities are very perfect. Ie. shuttle bus from/to hotel to train station and ropeway, varieties of gold and silver onsens in one place are stunning we didn’t have to go other onsens to try both of them. Dinner and breakfast are excellence. Staffs at front and dining room are very professional and great service mind.

Traditional ryokan with small onsen as part of the hotel. They are private onsen, so you can go there as a couple / family. Definitely recommend to book the dinner even if it seems bit expensive. It is worth it! Best experience we had in Japan.

The hotel is an amazing place to relax and enjoy a short stay. The staff was friendly and warm. The room was comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The public bath was amazing with the wonderful view of colorful trees. The breakfast was amazing. We had a memorable stay in Arima onsen. Hope we can repeat it.

Such a special property. Excellent onsen which during our visits never had more than two other guests. The in room dining was outstanding - the quality of the food (at dinner and breakfast) and exceptional service by Emily made for a most memorable stay. Drinks at the piano bar were a perfect start to an evening. The beds were very comfortable and the room was so very quiet. We would happily return!

    The ryokan is small, it has only a few rooms, so you can feel private there. The food was beyond great, tasty and the portions were large. The onsen was clean, with a great outdoor pool. Since the hotel is small, you had complete privacy in the onsen. The service was top notch. The ladies took care of us like their own members of the family. I recommend this place.

    The outdoor private onsens were amazing. Booking them was easy and there was always availability. It's really not necessary to get the in-room onsen. The yukata and japanese pj's which were provided were also great quality. I now regret not buying some :) There are some great hiking trails and a hilltop shrine near the hotel, which are very quiet and secluded.

    Gorgeous ryokan with good onsens. It was my first traditional Japanese hotel and onsen, so I was very impressed by hospitality, kaiseki dinner, the view, the room with tatami, yukata and hot springs. Totally recommend it!
