As I was from Kobe, Arima Onsen had always been a familiar place. We chose Tosen Goshobo, upgraded for very special occasion (anniversary + birthday).
And thankful our stay went far over than what we had expected.
Hotel offered an anniversary surprise for us, which we appreciated a lot.
We loved the architecture -- its room (fabulous! We didn't want to leave), its Japanese garden, its salon (and the choice of library), wine cellar.
We found the semi-outdoor hot springs was playful and was really a good idea.
The quality and the quantity of food was just excellent, diner or breakfast. We had feeling that also the timing between a dish to another was well calculated.
We are so grateful to staff, friendly, caring, who made our stay so memorable.

We had a fantastic stay. The staff is very nice, the room and the whole hotel are extraordinarily beautiful. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We had a Kaiseki dinner and breakfast and it was delicious. The hot spring was perfect for relaxing. I would always come back!

The facilities are very perfect. Ie. shuttle bus from/to hotel to train station and ropeway, varieties of gold and silver onsens in one place are stunning we didn’t have to go other onsens to try both of them. Dinner and breakfast are excellence. Staffs at front and dining room are very professional and great service mind.

Everything was great, it’s hard to not write an essay about this place. We were greeted with 4 people. Everything was explained about onsens. They gave us plate of fruits- it was delicious. We could use private bus. They reserved for us restaurant. We booked room with our own onsen outside, everything was clean and so luxurious. We loved it and recommended to stay here, great experience!

The Ryokan was amazing. I wanted to try this experience once and I was completely amazed. It was wonderful, very beautiful, and the food was delicious. People were very kind and respectful. Even my japanese friend was amazed. She loved it as well. She said the onsen was very beautiful, unfortunately I couldn't check it myself.

Everything was perfect. We came to early but the staff took our luggage to the room while we could discover the wonderful city of Arima. It was our best but too short stay in Japan. While the room is very traditional in appearance however the most important things were ver modern (toilet, shower etc.). Maybe the TV is redundant as everything is too interesting to sit and watch it.
