Arima Onsen Motoyu Ryuusenkaku
Absolutely worth every minute! Though located up in the hills, the hotel offers complimentary shuttle service to the nearby town below—super convenient. You can book a private onsen bath every hour, but honestly, the shared baths are rarely crowded, so you can enjoy them anytime. The meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—are all generous and delicious, with no complaints at all. Don’t miss the chance to wear yukata and relax on traditional tatami mats—it’s such a unique cultural touch. One staff member is from Taiwan and provided excellent translation throughout our stay—so thoughtful and warm-hearted. The kids absolutely loved it! Check out the official website—the children’s facilities are fantastic, and they were completely entertained from morning till night. This place is perfect for families or friends looking for a peaceful, authentic Japanese retreat with incredible value.
Ginsuisou Choraku
Staying at Ginsuisou Choraku was an absolute delight. Nestled on a hillside, the hotel offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere away from the hustle of downtown Kobe. The complimentary shuttle service from the station or subway exit made arrival effortless—just a few minutes’ ride, and you’re already at the doorstep. Every staff member, from the driver to the front desk and housekeeping team, greeted us with genuine warmth and professionalism. The hotel is immaculately clean and well-maintained throughout. Breakfast and dinner were exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. I especially loved the onsen experience: two types of hot springs (gold and silver) to choose from, followed by a free selection of tea and light snacks afterward. It’s these little touches that make all the difference. This place isn’t just a stay—it’s a memorable experience. I’d definitely recommend it to friends and would return in a heartbeat.
Arima Gyoen
Staying at the main building was a wonderful experience. The breakfast and dinner were both exceptionally abundant, with excellent food quality that truly impressed us. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive—especially one team member who spoke Cantonese, which made communication so much easier. They even helped carry our luggage and escorted us to our room, which showed great thoughtfulness. We arrived quite late, and with a mix of elderly and young family members, the hotel went out of their way to arrange a parking spot right by the entrance, saving us from having to navigate a steep slope to reach a distant lot. This small but meaningful gesture made our stay so much more comfortable. From start to finish, the service was outstanding, and we’ll definitely be returning.
Hotel Hanakoyado
Staying at Hotel Hanakoyado in Kobe was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the train station and surrounded by great restaurants and shops. I had a lot of luggage, but the staff kindly arranged a shuttle to the nearby bus stop, which made my arrival so much easier. The on-site hot spring baths are a real highlight—two private tubs available anytime, plus access to the public bath at the sister hotel for even more relaxation. It’s such a thoughtful touch that adds real value to the experience. Clean, welcoming, and incredibly convenient. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kobe—it truly delivers on comfort and hospitality.
Arima Royal Hotel
Staying at Arima Royal Hotel was a pleasant experience overall. While it's not a traditional historic onsen property, it definitely fits the modern, well-designed category with a fresh and elegant vibe. The room itself was spacious and beautifully appointed—what stood out most was the private half-outdoor hot spring tub, perfect for relaxing under the stars in the evening. Breakfast and dinner were both generous and varied, with good quality food that added to the comfort of the stay. That said, the onsen options were limited to just three types, and while they were clean and serviceable, they didn’t stand out much. The price point is on the higher side compared to other similar hotels in the area, which might make it less appealing if you're budget-conscious. Still, if you value privacy, a serene atmosphere, and a stylish retreat with excellent amenities, this place is worth considering. It’s ideal for a quiet getaway or a special treat—just be prepared to pay a premium for the experience.
Hashinoya Bekkan Ransui
Staying at Hashinoya Bekkan Ransui in Arima Onsen was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I’d stepped into a private garden villa—serene, elegant, and surrounded by birdsong and natural beauty. The staff, including the owner, were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The room was cozy yet spacious, with thoughtful details that enhanced the overall tranquility. The kaiseki dinner included with the stay was nothing short of extraordinary—each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, a true culinary artistry. And the onsen? Absolutely magical. Soaking in the hot spring while listening to the gentle sound of mountain streams was pure bliss. It’s rare to find such a peaceful retreat with such high-quality service and attention to detail. This place offers an unforgettable experience—perfect for anyone seeking relaxation and authentic Japanese hospitality. I’ll definitely be returning.

With deep roots in tradition, this old-style ryokan perfectly captures the essence of authentic Japanese hospitality. The hot springs are a highlight—both indoor and outdoor baths, plus unique gold and silver pools that make for a truly memorable soak. The included kaiseki dinner with Kobe beef was exceptional—each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Staff were incredibly attentive, even helping carry luggage to our room. It's rare to find such thoughtful service combined with such a tranquil setting. A perfect getaway that’s well worth every penny.
Merveille Arima
Staying at Merveille Arima exceeded all my expectations. The included breakfast and dinner were incredibly generous and delicious—each meal felt like a special experience. The hotel's private onsen facilities, including both gold and silver baths, are a real highlight. No need to crowd into public baths elsewhere; the serene outdoor hot spring is perfect for unwinding under the stars. The staff went above and beyond—especially upon check-in, when they warmly handed me a beautifully made yukata. Located right by Taikō Bridge, it’s super convenient for getting around Kobe, whether by train or foot. The whole stay was relaxing, luxurious, and thoughtfully designed. I’ll definitely return here on my next trip to Arima. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic Japanese onsen retreat.

Staying at Tabiyu Abrigo in Kobe was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—right next to the Hankyu Bus terminus, making it super convenient to get around the city. The room was spacious and immaculately clean, offering a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Even though check-in is in a separate building, it’s just a short walk away, and they actually carry your luggage up to your room—such a thoughtful touch! This little detail made the whole experience so much smoother. With excellent service, a great location, and top-notch cleanliness, this place is a real gem. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
Tsukie No Fune
Staying at Tsukie No Fune in the heart of Arima was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, everything felt relaxed and luxurious. The room had a private onsen that made our stay even more enjoyable, and the meals were outstanding—especially the kaiseki dinner, which featured premium A5 wagyu beef that melted in my mouth. To my surprise, the breakfast the next morning also included wagyu, which was such a delightful bonus! The shuttle driver went above and beyond when I left my bag behind on the bus—he personally drove it to the station to return it to me. That kind of thoughtful service is rare and truly appreciated. The entire experience exceeded expectations, and I’d happily come back again. A perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and authenticity.
Zuihoen
We stayed at Zuihoen in Kobe with my 74-year-old mom and our 10-year-old daughter. The suite was spacious—definitely more than just a standard room—but it felt like three rooms were squeezed together, which made the layout a bit unusual. Still, we were very happy with the size and comfort. The bathroom stood out—the fixtures were high-end and so relaxing after a long day of exploring. While the price wasn’t cheap (over ¥100,000 for the suite), considering the location, service, and overall quality, it felt worth every yen. We only found availability through this platform, which made it even more special. A memorable stay with a great balance of comfort and value—definitely planning to return.
Spa Terrace Shisui
Staying at SPA TERRACE Shisui in Kobe was an unexpectedly wonderful experience. While the facilities show a bit of age, everything was impeccably clean and well-maintained—no worries about hygiene at all. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful and serene, nestled in a beautiful natural setting that makes you feel truly relaxed. The included breakfast and dinner were outstanding—plentiful, fresh, and delicious, with authentic Japanese flavors that stood out. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality and attentive service; they were always ready to help without being intrusive. It’s clear they care about guest comfort. For the quality of food, ambiance, and service, this place offers excellent value. I’d highly recommend it and will definitely be back.
