Our room was amazing, both the room and hotel are very clean. The room was quiet, our private onsen and garden were beautiful we enjoyed them a lot. There is a cattle in the room with tea and also a coffee maker. The staff was amazing, really friendly, very attentive and helped with all our questions. They reserved restaurants for us and brought us with a car to the restaurants. They also helped with arranging transport for our luggage to the next hotel. There was also a dedicated English speaking staff member. The location of the hotel is also great, it's higher up in Arima, which makes it nice quiet.

Everything exceeded my expectations. Breakfast room service is much better than getting up early to eat at a buffet during set hours. I only wish I could have stayed longer.

Arima Onsen is close to Kobe, but has a nice countryside feel about it. Our room was much larger than expected, the staff were attentive and friendly, and the onsen was very good, with the famous Arima golden water (salty and with high iron content). A nice detail in the onsen was that the gender seperating wall was lower at the end, enabling a conversation with my wife. The food was also very good, we stayed 2 nights and had 1 night dinner and breakfast in our room (for an extra charge). The ryokan also offers a free shuttle to the Arima Ropeway and to the railway station. The salon was also nice with free coffee and lots of books and a high-end tube amplifier. The building is wooden and old, so expect to hear some noise from your neighbours, but nothing too bad.

We had an absolutely wonderful two-day stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. They kindly upgraded our room and offered access to the executive lounge at a very reasonable price, which truly enhanced our experience. Our corner room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering breathtaking views of both the ocean and the city—an unforgettable sight, especially during sunrise! The food was fantastic, with a variety of delicious options that catered to all tastes. We also enjoyed the executive lounge, which added a touch of luxury to our stay. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. We had so much fun and felt very well taken care of. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, excellent service, and stunning views. Can't wait to return!

Looking for a five-star hotel?

    A true 5 star hotel like they used to be with incredible customer service and facilities. Great swimming pool, restaurants and food. Shuttle bus service to and from the main local train station was very convenient and for free before check in and after check out. I would definitely go back next time I visit Kobe.

    It has the atmosphere and coziness that only an older 5-star hotel would offer. Great location beside the port and within walking distance to Motomachi shopping area, with amazing night views from the room. Excellent breakfast and commendable service.

    It’s understated but in a nice way. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. The private Onsen is so relaxing. It’s a luxury to have it all to yourself. We booked a Kaiseki dinner and it was amazing! A big thank you to the Executive chef Yoshihiro Ogasawara!

    Great view of the city Kobe from the window in my room. It was fantastic view! Also hotel is 5 star and very good service and facilities. Only there is some hotel staff wasn't nice to us without reason at restaurant. He was very nice to other Japanese guest who looks like many years customer of this hotel. That's was only issue. All other staff were very very nice. I like this hotel service more than Okura Tokyo.

    Everything! This hotel felt like a 5 star hotel. Absolutely perfect! I highly recommend you to book this hotel at your next stay in Kobe. Family friendly, perfect for couple honeymoons, etc. Their breakfast was also amazing. A buffet style where you have so much to choose from! Both western and Japanese style food available. The hotel premises was massive! Such an amazing view too no matte which hotel room you get. It really made our Kobe stay memorable.
