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.

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.

Staff was very attentive and their hospitality was really on a high level.
My wife had a birthday so the hotel managed to prepare a nice gift for her - amazing!
The food... oh the food... Chef Ota-san and his crew have managed to prepare one of the most enjoyable feasts I've ever had. Big thanks to everybody involved in preparation of such culinary joy!
My next visit in Arima will surely be here again!
