A great Ryokan experience. Located in a quiet place on a hill with a nice view. Very polite and helpful staff. The kayseki dinner was fantastic: long, various and overall impressing. We also greatly enjoyed the onsens which are very authentic with outside pools. We were surprised to attend the onsens all alone though there were quire many people staying the same night with us. Unforgettably experience. In addition, a private bath is available for couples as well, we enjoyed it, too. We took a massage course and I can definitely recommend it as well. All the prices for additional services are super reasonable.

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!

Fantastic services. Great facility. It's on the side of the mountain with a great view of the city. Both breakfast and Kaiseki dinner were phenomenal. The little details put into the service made the stay even more enjoyable. The cost was on the higher end, but I felt like it was worth it. I'd stay here again, if I go to Arima again.

We stayed in the hotel for one night. When we arrived, we were greeted by staff dressed in traditional Japanese dress who served as green tea and Japanese sweets. We were then escorted to our bedroom where we had a traditional Japanese room. We were then served the most unbelievable dinner in our room, which was truly amazing and the quality of the service was outstanding. Promptly after dinner, the room was cleaned and the futon was laid down and the beds were made in front of us. In the morning the beds were cleared and breakfast was served in our room which was nothing short of a banquet. We chose the western style. Food overall was exceptional. After breakfast, my wife and I made our way to the Private onsen - hot spring for one hour which was more than enough. An unbelievable experience and great value for money. I thoroughly recommend it to everybody if you’re looking for a break on a holiday to really enjoy and take in the Japanese culture.

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.
