Ryokan Arima Onsen Motoyu Ryuusenkaku
651-1401 Hyogo, Kobe, Kita-ku Arimacho 1663, Japan – Good location - show map
The bath facility and the Onsen facility are really good. There is an in-doors Swimming pool also and the hotel offers free rental of Swimming suits for the kids. Though the pool is not big, the kids were very happy. It was interesting to have Kaiseki meals served in our room.
SingaporeThe outdoor hot spring is wonderful. The room is a traditional Japanese style. Location is good, not that far from town and train station.
ChinaThe property is on hill making hard for senior to walk thru but compensated by the guest friendly staff. Friendly and accommodating staffs is 5 star.
Philippineshosts communicated well with me over email and phone and came to greet me
United KingdomThe outside Onsen is fantastic and is open all night.
JapanEverything was perfect, the staff is so cute and they all speak english :) The indoor and outdoor onsen are just amazing especially the rotenburo early in the morning. Possibility to book a onsen for 45min for a cheap price is also nice. Rooms are clean and everything you need is available in it. A free shuttle bring you to Arima city/station in less than 5min everytime u need Thank you again for this good experience !
FranceThe onsen was very beautiful and relaxing! The staff was very helpful and made us feel super welcomed. Our traditional style room had a gorgeus view, and even though the place is familyfriendly, the room and the possibility for a private outdoor bath made our stay feel like a romantic getaway.
Malta子供が楽しく過ごせるように考えられていて、子供連れにはとてもいい宿だと思います。 スタッフの方々もとても丁寧で親切でした。
JapanI arrived at 10 pm. The warm welcome of “Wasabi”(one of the owner’s dog) soon healed my heart. It felt even warm especially after a 5-hour riding in the rain. The whole property was extremely clean and refreshing, with soft beds, as long as the heating carpet in the living room. The breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage was great. Thanks to the owner for providing us all those warmness. I will never forget what and who I met this night.
Japan抵达后有接送服务，用餐有时段限制，所含的晚餐和早餐都不错。温泉分为室内和室外两种，两种都不错。店内自带礼品店，可以买些伴手礼。服务人员十分热情且服务态度非常好，有帮忙预定第二天去京都的大巴票，还帮忙带寄了明信片。第二天送我们去了汽车站，我们出发的时间有些晚，工作人员比我们还紧张。我有些东西落在大阪拜托接待我们的台湾小姐姐帮忙处理，很快就处理并回复我，还再三嘱咐我不要再遗落东西在酒店（然而我似乎好像还是落了东西哈哈哈哈哈）。有机会一定会再来。

-
- What is a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature public baths, multi-course dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travellers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation in therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the major differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is simply a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just an accommodation place to sleep. In Japan, many travellers journey long distances solely for the purpose of relaxing in a hot spring bath and feasting on a traditional multi-course dinner – thus making staying at a ryokan an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon beds, instead of Western beds and carpeting. In addition, you remove your shoes at the entrance of the accommodation, or before you enter the room. Modern ryokan may serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while a more traditional ryokan serves in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms may come with a private bathroom, while others will only have a shared public bathroom.
-
- What is a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodied in beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Each of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multi-course Japanese dinner is prepared in such a way that highlights the unique textures, colours, and flavours of the featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Served most commonly at special restaurants and ryokan, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-sized appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What is a yukata?
- Yukata is a casual summer kimono typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans offer guests yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it is common to see guests strolling through the neighbourhood in their yukata. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for relaxing and sleeping in.
-
- How to wear a yukata
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a shirt. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is levelled at your ankle. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What is a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally ‘hot spring’) is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- Bathing procedures and etiquette
- At a public bath – onsen or not – guests are expected to shed all their clothes in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you must not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among the youth of Japan, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you may still be refused admission to public baths and swimming pools. Small tattoos may be covered up using waterproof plasters, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
