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 price is high, but you can expect a lot. The hotel rooms were great. You could choose if you prefer to sleep in big comfy western beds or prefered a Japanese futon instead (there were two rooms, so enough space to get the futons out). Maybe prepare a bit in advance, so that you know what´s going on, because the English introduction at reception is a bit shorter than the Japanese one, but the staff is always really helpful and can answer your questions. Breakfast and diner were both included and were fantastic. The sushi cook in the evening was so helpful and we tried 2-3 different sort of fish we never had before. And all the other dishes were great, too. Don´t forget to stop in time, so that there is still room for dessert ;o) The onsen on the roof is wonderful. You have an excellent night view and can see the beautiful harbour area. There is an onsen for women and one for men. First there is a big room where you undress and put your clothes in little baskets. Then there is a shower room followed by a pool, a whirlpool and the lovely onsen. And if you want to spend around 200 Yen extra, don´t forget to visit the room with the massage chairs. They are amazing.

This onsen hotel is one of the most beautiful and relaxing spots anywhere. Everything is done to perfection, the exquisite dinners and breakfasts, the incredibly comfortable, spacious bedroom with a personal onsen. The mineral baths are the attraction of course and we took two a day.

Absolutely everything was fantastic from start the finish. The staff worked hard to provide us with a wonderful stay. The rooms are beautiful and extremely comfortable, of particular note the massage chair was fantastic. The Onsen itself was warm and comforting, and having a Sauna in addition to it was a nice touch. Both meals we had, Breakfast and Dinner were absolutely delicious. Additionally, it's quite an easy walk from the train station compared to other Onsens in the area, so if travelling with a lot of luggage it could be a good option.

We are grateful for the smiling faces and so helpful. You took extra attention to the child’s meal. All dishes for adult and kid’s meals were excellent. The hotel car rides were most helpful. The English speaking staff(Indonesian) was so helpful and always smiling。The onsen, masionette house was superb.

    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’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!

    The hotel has a luxurious feel to it.. Staff are extremely friendly and courteous, they make you feel like a VIP. The location is great - it’s walking distance from shopping district and the harbour. The room I stayed in had the biggest bathtub that I have ever seen anywhere.

    Outstanding view with quiet location. Dinner and BF were over my expectation. Steak during dinner was superb condition, we think it deserves Michelin star. We stayed for two nights and they adjusted food for us nicely. My kids also enjoyed their food and could not eat them all. Onsen were also great with many baths to choose from. Room got good space that four of us feels very comfortable.
