“We had a comfortable stay and the scenery and onsen”
The architecture of the main hotel building is magnificent while the lodge that we stayed in was very cosy. It was good value for money for 4 of us to stay in the family lodge.

“Please come here and stay more than 1 night. Love this place”
The place is really good. It's a bit away from center of Arima Onsen but not far to walk. The atmosphere of the hotel is really good. The staffs's service are really good and helpful. Onsens (there are 2 in the hotel) are excellent, quite and clean. Breakfast is marvelous in traditional Japanese style. The only thing I and my family regret is that we stayed for only 1 night. If you plan to come here, please stay for at less 2 nights. There are plenty of parking lot in front of the hotel in hotel's area property and they allow us to park even before and after check out which is very kind.

“Awesome stay, great ryokan”
I think we were given a free upgrade, the room is very big and spacious. We love everything in this ryokan especially the onsen. Yukata were provided, even the skincare provided were branded, Kose. Shuttle bus was provided in and out from the ryokan to bus station or train station. Staff were great and the whole environment was serene. A great place to rest and relax and recharge. Awesome stay, great job!!!

“Broken heart”
The hotel is close to the town and has shuttle to the town. It has hot spring in the basement so you don’t have to use the hot spring at the town. Room has big space for family.

“Relaxing, overall enjoyable stay, however I'll choose the Japanese-style rooms next time”
I booked the Family cottage for 4. It was a nice little cottage. It gives me a comfy feeling walking in. There's a Jacuzzi in the cottage, it sure is nice, but at the same time I feel it isn't very needed since we spend more time in the Onsen. Walking into the lobby, the hotel has a nice view down the town. The hotel has 2 Onsen, both indoor, they're great, there is some walking distance (outdoor) away from the cottage but isn't too bad. I had western style dinner and breakfast, it was a great experience. Nice presentation and tasty, very satisfying. Just a heads up for any future guests, the ryokan (hotel) is located uphill, please use their provided shuttle service. I unfortunately hiked up there, not knowing there is such a service.
