Wonderful ryokan. Staff friendly and catered to every need. Fabulous meal and loved the private pools in our large comfortable room. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing hotel. Not a cheap one, but it is definitelly worth the money. We definitelly recommend to take a room with a view, seeing mountains in the morning was wonderful. We didn't have a ryokan-type room but were still amazed by the quiality of everything - cleanliness, design, etc. Our room had a capsule coffee machine, a set for drinking tea, hair brushes, hair pins and other small things that added a pinch of comfort to our stay. The hotel also provides guests with Japanese-style clothing: a set of a "shirt" and pants, and a yukata. You can walk in it everywhere in the hotel which was very nice. The hotel has public onsens on two floors, both have open-air baths. The staff is very understanding and would help with the rules of visiting. You can also book private onsens that turned out to be not very expensive. Sometimes the hotel holds special events. We managed to visit stargazing and saw Jupiter through a telescope while eating sweet potatos! The hotel provides a bus that regularly travels through the Arima village. You can also call the hotel to pick you up. The village itself is very beautiful. There is a ropeway to the nearby mountain. I heard you can also hike to the summit.

Staffs are super friendly. Room is clean and cozy. There are free beverages and ice creams. Shuttle bus is convenient, and if you don't have Japanese phone card, use WhatsApp or Line to connect to the hotel. Onsen is good and easy to reserve. Use indoor onsens if you hate bugs ;p.

The staff are proficient in English, and the services are excellent. The room is spacious and clean, but the highlight is the futon—it’s incredibly comfortable, warm, and just right.

I loved our room. Our hot bath was amazing and consistently stayed hot throughout the stay. Our room was very spacious. They provided us with all the necessities, yukatas to wear during dinner and pajamas. The massage chair in the room was a plus. I loved the location! If you just walk to the left of the hotel, you will reach a stairwell that leads directly to the arima onsen town area! Easy to walk around town. The staff were excellent and spoke English very well. It was easy to communicate with them.

We stayed at the room with a private hot spring bath. The room is comfortable and complimentary drinks (wine, beer and juice, various types of drinks) and snakes are provided. The meals were served in the room. Also the location is good, a walking distance to the arima onsen triangle station. And the free shuttle is provided to bus or train stations all the time if you don’t want to walk. I will come back.

As someone who's never been to an Onsen or a Ryokan, it was a one of a kind experience you could not get elsewhere. The staffs were incredibly friendly and very accommodating throughout our stay - they even helped to cater to our dietary requirements for our included breakfast. After check-in, a staff gave us a tour of the entire Inn and the Onsens, as well as our room, and gave us a leaflet with information of everything we'd need. The 2 public Onsens and the private Onsens they have were beautiful, and even had a web app you could conveniently use to check if they were vacant or busy. The breakfast was amazing, and the surrounding area was beautiful and had plenty of souvenir shops and eateries with amazing food. The location was also super near to the local bus terminal and train station, and you could easily get to/from them and these shops by walking. Should you need transportation to get to/from the Ryokan, they also provide free shuttle during certain hours you could easily request for by calling them up. To those coming here from Osaka, the easiest route I found was to get to the Hankyu Bus Terminal just outside of the Osaka Station and to get bus tickets to Arima Onsen which costed me 1,400 JPY - the bus journey itself took about ~45 mins-1 hour. All in all, I highly recommend anyone wishing for this Ryokan/Onsen experience to stay here.
