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.
Arima Hot Spring Ryokan Kotori
This was my second stay at Arima Hot Spring Ryokan Kotori, and I’m even more impressed this time around. While the location is a bit remote, the hotel arranges complimentary shuttle service once you arrive in the Arima area—truly a thoughtful touch that makes everything seamless. The all-inclusive package with breakfast and dinner offers excellent value for money. Meals were generous in portion and exceptionally delicious, with authentic local flavors that really stood out. The rooms are spotless, quiet, and well-maintained, creating a peaceful retreat perfect for unwinding. The overall atmosphere is serene and welcoming, making it an ideal choice for a relaxing onsen getaway. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this ryokan to anyone looking for a genuine Japanese experience with warmth and comfort.

The room was clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed and excellent air conditioning. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like the separate shower area, high-quality toiletries, and variety of slippers and essentials provided. The quiet, serene atmosphere on each floor made it easy to unwind after a day of exploring. It’s rare to find such a peaceful yet convenient stay with this level of service and detail.

The location is also convenient for getting around Kobe, with easy access to public transit. Overall, this is a fantastic choice for a relaxing and memorable stay.
Arima Onsen Motoyu Kosenkaku
Staying at Arima Onsen Motoyu Kosenkaku was an absolute delight. The moment I stepped into the property, I felt like I had entered a quiet, timeless retreat. Located just a short distance from Kobe, it's easily accessible by public transport, and once you're on the grounds, the peaceful atmosphere truly sets in. The traditional Japanese design of the inn is beautifully maintained—wooden beams, tatami floors, and subtle lighting create a serene vibe. My room was spacious, cozy, and perfectly appointed with all the essentials. What made this stay unforgettable was the natural hot spring bath. The onsen water is crystal clear, rich in minerals, and so soothing that every muscle relaxed instantly. I especially loved walking through the surrounding bamboo groves and listening to the gentle sound of flowing water nearby—it felt like being in a hidden garden. The kaiseki dinner was exquisite—fresh ingredients, artistic presentation, and thoughtful flavor balance. Breakfast was equally impressive, with local delicacies that gave a true taste of the region.

The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service. They even offered complimentary shuttle service to and from the town center, and it’s easy to call for a pickup back to the hotel.

Breakfast was a highlight—huge variety, fresh ingredients, and delicious local flavors. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. This place truly delivers on comfort, hospitality, and value. I’d definitely come back without hesitation.
Hotel Morgenrot
Staying at Hotel Morgenrot was an absolute delight, especially because of its unbeatable location right next to the Gin-You Onsen entrance—just a quick step outside and you're already soaking in the hot springs. The temple of Gekoku-ji is literally within 100 meters, making it super easy to take a peaceful morning walk or explore some local history. While the bathroom is on the smaller side, it's spotlessly clean and functional. The overall vibe of the place is cozy and authentic, with a real sense of Japanese simplicity and warmth. For the price, this hotel offers incredible value—perfect for travelers who want a quiet, genuine ryokan experience without the hassle of long commutes. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in Kobe.
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.

Staying at Arima Onsen Koki was an absolute delight! The moment I walked in, the cleanliness and attention to detail were immediately apparent. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service—always smiling, always helpful. But the real highlight? The hot springs. The natural onsen water is pure and soothing, perfect for unwinding after a long day. I especially loved soaking in the evening with views of the surrounding mountains—truly peaceful and rejuvenating. Located just minutes from Kobe’s city center via train, it’s easy to explore local restaurants, shops, and attractions without sacrificing tranquility. This place offers incredible value for such a high-quality experience. I’ll definitely be back.
Arimaonsen Musubi-No-Koyado En - Hostel
I had a great stay at Arimaonsen Musubi-No-Koyado En - Hostel! The room was clean, comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. However, I did encounter a minor issue with the booking platform—there was an address discrepancy that led me to the wrong hotel location. After several trips back and forth with luggage, I finally found the correct entrance at the information center. It definitely wasted some time, so if you're booking through a third-party site, I’d recommend double-checking the address or contacting the hostel directly before arrival. Despite this hiccup, the overall experience was excellent. The atmosphere is cozy, the location is convenient, and the value for money is outstanding. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Kobe!
Arima Onsen Hyoe Koyokaku Kobe
Staying at Arima Onsen Hyoe Koyokaku in Kobe was an absolute delight. I booked a traditional Japanese-style room, and it was spacious and cozy with efficient heating—perfect for the chilly weather. The bathroom featured a smart dry-wet separation, and cleanliness was excellent throughout. The onsen experience? A solid 10/10. The outdoor baths are separated by gender, set in a peaceful, serene environment with plenty of lounge space to relax before or after soaking. They even provide complimentary towels, hair dryers, and toiletries—no need to pack extra stuff. Staff were incredibly attentive and warm-hearted. Since we traveled with our young child, the restaurant team went above and beyond—offering kid-friendly utensils and a welcoming atmosphere that made mealtime stress-free. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a true retreat. Highly recommend for anyone seeking comfort, authenticity, and genuine hospitality in a beautiful onsen setting.
