Taketoritei Maruyama is a non-smoking Japanese-style accommodation featuring natural hot spring baths for private use and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. From its hilltop location a 15-minute walk from Kobe Electric Railway Arima Onsen Station, it offers sweeping views of Arima Onsen.

The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Don't forget to arrange a ride to the property, as it is a steep uphill walk from the train station. The latte machine in the Lobby made the BEST matcha latte, which paired very nicely with the available ice-cream treats after a hot onsen bath, or walk through the town. Within the room itself, there are many included amenities in the bathrooms for self-care and pampering. The mini-fridge is stocked with drinks, and snacks were provided as we arrived. We made sure to rent the private onsen baths twice, which were immaculate and comfortable. There are vending machines as you enter the onsen area with water, tea, and alcoholic drinks available. I'd highly recommend the Japanese style meal service, as it allows you to try a variety of Japanese dishes that aren't commonly found in many restaurants.

The air-conditioned rooms at Hanakoyado Hotel include a fridge and tea maker. Each has an attached toilet, and bathing facilities are shared.

The staff is nice, very polite, friendly and helpful. We had arrived before check in time, she gave us free tickets for the Toys museum to use time in there. She had introduced about the facilities in this hotel and regulations. For private onsen, we are fall in love with Ginsen that is the best onsen. We can used the Onsen in Goshoboh for free before 8pm but we had already went there before went to Hotel Hanakoyado.

Founded in the 12th century and beloved by Junichiro Tanizaki and other Japanese novelists, Tosen Goshobo is the oldest of the hot-spring inns at Arima. Standing beside the Taki River, it features outdoor hot-spring baths and traditional in-room meals and is a 5-minute walk from Arima Onsen Train Station. The Japanese rooms have traditional futon bedding and a minibar.

The Ryokan is a beautiful historic building lived by shoguns of its era. We stayed in the beautiful Raku room. It was the biggest room we stayed during our month long trip across Japan. It was so spacious - it had a floor dining space during the day that converts into our bedroom with comfortable futons in the evening from 6pm. Next to the dining/bedroom space, separated by wooden sliding doors there’s a covered small balcony with windows overlooking a lovely stream and special books related to Tanizaki and Mita Celadon on display. On the other side of the dining/bedroom space, separated by wooden sliding doors, there’s another table/chair seating area don with cabinets for luggages, fridge and a relaxing massage chair. There’s also historical potteries on display. The message chair was wonderful to relax in after a hot spring bath. Adjoining this room is a big separated bath, toilet and dressing room. Each space was well designed and simple yet so rich with multi-century history that was captivating to the soul. Great opportunity to live in a piece of well maintained heritage building.

The property features mountain views and is 11 km from Arima Toys and Automata Museum and 11 km from Onsen-ji Temple. The accommodation provides luggage storage space and a shared lounge for guests.

We had the best time in this accomodation on Mt Rokko. Arriving by cable car was idyllic and easy to find from Kobe with the owners instructions. We absolutely loved the food! Actually, we would consider just coming back here to eat again. The owner is an amazing chef and cooked different foods for our stay. While my husband loved the Kobe beef, our teenage girls ate all the homecooked bread. My favourite was a delicious salad and grilled marinated japanese radish.. I still dream about them:-). The owners speak great english and was able to direct us well. We enjoyed an outing to Arima Onsen town from here by ropeway. Most likely our favourite stay in Japan!

    We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Tocen Goshobo. It was just a few minutes walk away from the bus stops. The onsen bath was atmospheric and the temperature felt just right (not too hot even for inexperienced bathers). The staff was wonderfully welcoming, the room lovely and the futon beds extra comfortable. The Arima onsen village was bigger than we expected, several dinner options (we opted for only breakfast (was superb!) at the Tocen Goshobo).

    The shared onsen and bath is beautiful (much nicer than the private onsen). The view over the trees and the windows that slide open were superb, and made our stay because we could enjoy the rain from inside the room. It was good to experience a Ryokan and traditional Kaiseki dinner in our room. Arima Onsen is a lovely village to walk through and try the different foods. The foot bath in the main street was a highlight, even though it was almost too hot at 42 degrees!

    The room is very central and easy to walk to from the train station or the bus stations (given that the village is surrounded by steep hills with many hotels some walking distance to reach, the location of this room was a real bonus!). It is very easy to reach the two main public baths and restaurants, visit the sights, and walk the various walking paths. The room was also super clean, modern and very comfortable. I was fortunate to have a balcony and a view on some trees too.
