Arima Onsen Hotspring
We wanted to have breakfast and inquired with hotel. They shared that the restaurant wasn't open. We sat down in the lobby to search for some other options, when the gentleman at the desk came over and stated the restaurant was open and ready for us. We were greeted warmly by the owner, who informed us she was limited in certain items that morning. No problem for us at all and we ordered our food. Everything was so good that my children ended up ordering second meals. It wasn't until we had paid and were leaving and thanking her that she apologized for not having a ”full” menu but she was actually closed until the hotel called and asked her if she could serve us. I'm not sure many places offer that level of service anymore, and we are so grateful and appreciative for all she did for us. Thank you so much!!

Arima Onsen Hotspring
Pros: service, amenities, Western and Japanese style rooms, food, location Cons: there is no elevator in this old Japanese building, so prepare to walk up stairs; the wifi reception in our room was not reliable We had an absolutely amazingly relaxing stay during our 3-day-2-night trip, enjoying the peace Tocen Goshobo had to offer, as well as their exceptional customer service. I searched high and low to finally find this ryokan with very specific amenities. Since my elderly parents had issues with getting up from the floor had we stayed in a traditional ryokan only, while I wanted to enjoy the full traditional ryokan experience, the Deluxe Suite with Private Hot Spring and Sauna was the perfect compromise for both our wants and needs. The Deluxe Suite has both two full sized western beds that were perfect for my parents, and the tatami sitting room that could be closed off for me to sleep in with my super comfy futon bedding. By no means is the room and experience itself a compromise, as my father kept calling it the ‘Presidential suite’ since it was on the top floor, and we had abundant space with our own onsen attached to the room! The room can fit 6 total guests, and has a secret playroom, a seating nook/area with perfect natural light, a dining room with regular table and chairs (in other ryokans, my tall Caucasian husband commented on how much he missed having actual chairs with space for your legs to stretch when seated), an office, a powder room, two bidet toilets rooms, a space to prepare tea with its own sink in the tatami room, and let’s not forget the massage chair. The room was clean, tastefully appointed, had everything we needed and plenty of space to either gather, or spend some ‘me time’. We opted for breakfast and dinner at the inn, which we looked forward to each day. The breakfast was pleasant and filling, while the kaiseki dinners were amazing. Kobe beef was featured as well as plenty of seafood both nights. We had a great time with our host, Yoshinori Tatebe-san, who tolerated my many questions of ‘what is this?’ or ‘how do we eat this?!’; his professionalism absolutely made our meals a tremendous delight! The location of the ryokan/onsen is ideal, walking distance to everything and right next to a bus stop. It’s in the heart of the Arima area, which has many temples, restaurants, and shops to explore. One cannot deny the outstanding customer service Tocen Goshobo’s team offers. Shout out to Hatsumi and Matsu at the front desk, making sure we were well taken care of, offering absolutely above and beyond service! When Hatsumi was helping me get settled on my first day arrival, I had asked her about the beautiful tokonoma (alcove) that was in the wa****su (tatami room). Unfortunately, I had asked so many questions she couldn’t quite answer me fully! A few days later, she showed me a note where she apparently took the time to think over my question and write it out in English so I would understand the importance of the a

Arima Onsen Hotspring
First of all, I don't know if other word of mouth is so bad. I was worried about seeing the word of mouth before going honestly ... actually I stayed, the building itself of the inn is old, but the cleaning is well done and the flower is also made in the room. I felt like hospitality to the guests properly. The public bath was also equipped with shampoo, rinse and body soap, and lotion and emulsion were also available for men and women. There was also a dryer. Some people write that the toilet, the bathroom and the bath in the room are small in the unit bus form, but it is an inn on the assumption that it enters the hot spring of the large bath, and the inn of Arima in this class is the amount of money (it was set to be 2 million yen for 2 meals per night for adults on weekdays) and if it is a room made in the Showa period, it is not particularly noisy. I also prepared cold water when I went to bed in the pot. Well, about the point that it was especially good to stay this time. 1. I was worried about the Viking meal in the corona ridge, so I ate dinner and breakfast in the room meal. The taste was delicious and the accompanying was nice. 2. There was a jacuzzi in the public bath. 3. The water server in the public bath was the water of the mineral water server called Kobe koro water.4. The person who met all the inn was greeted comfortably. 5. I made a reservation for the wrong age of the child this time, but I took the time, but I responded sincerely so that it would not be disadvantageous. 6. Location that is really close to Hankyu Expressway bus stop, gold hot water, hot spring temple, souvenir shop town, Arima gawa River, etc. Based on the above, I think I want to go to stay again.

It feels good and the location is easy to find. The shop in Arima is closed at 6 o'clock. You can come early if you want to come. Unfortunately, the hotel can only check in at 3 o'clock, and then check out at 10:30 in the morning. In the evening, you can take a bath or take a walk, and you can wear the hotel's yukata to walk around the bubble gold and silver soup. Then the hotel you stay in has its own free hot spring, I suggest you not to go, the ambient lighting is a bit dark haha, after all, the history is relatively long, you can go to Jintang Yintang.

During the Bon Festival, there is no nearby hotel when going to Awaji Island It's a bit far away, but I stayed here for two days. Location is very good because it is located in Arima Onsen town The parking lot is also nearby and you can lend it for free Thank you for those who go by car!! it's over 20 o'clock in check-in time I checked in at 22:00. i've been contacted in advance, and the staff I responded without a disgusting face! thank you. . . there's no toilet, no bathroom, no bath in the room. I felt quite inconvenient. It is not possible to do it because the price setting is low for the location. . Thank you for two days.

Arima Onsen Hotspring
We had a wonderful 1 night stay a few months ago before tourism opened back up. Highly recommend this place for people who are into more private, chill time. Loved the concept of this ryokan because instead of shared baths there were numerous choices of private baths throughout the property! Each needed to be booked in advance for a 45 minute session. They had an online reservation system but I think it was only in Japanese (my husband's native language) so I can't comment on that. Our room was fantastic; modern and huge, but still had charm. I think we were in Suite 13 which had its own private bath which you could open up the huge windows to a nice tranquil view of greenery. I liked that the entry had a super long hallway which helped with any noise (so quiet!). Personal touches such as selecting a complimentary gift (small drawstring bag) and fruit tray was noticed and appreciated. They were also very helpful to find us a restaurant to eat dinner at on a Sunday night (since we opted to not have the course dinner) - it was a delightful local meal ran by a married couple! I wish I remembered the name but it was izakaya home cooking style and so delicious. The breakfast on property was AWESOME. I opted to get the Western Style and my husband the Japanese. Such presentation and variety and a perfect start to our day. We would definitely be back to visit this place. They made us feel very welcome and relaxed! Arigatou gozaimasu *bow*
