Absolutely everything was fantastic from start the finish. The staff worked hard to provide us with a wonderful stay. The rooms are beautiful and extremely comfortable, of particular note the massage chair was fantastic. The Onsen itself was warm and comforting, and having a Sauna in addition to it was a nice touch. Both meals we had, Breakfast and Dinner were absolutely delicious. Additionally, it's quite an easy walk from the train station compared to other Onsens in the area, so if travelling with a lot of luggage it could be a good option.

Offering stylish rooms with shoji paper screens and Western beds, Hotel Hanakoyado is only a 6-minute walk from Arima Onsen Train Station. It features hot-spring baths and a massage service.

Traditional ryokan with small onsen as part of the hotel. They are private onsen, so you can go there as a couple / family. Definitely recommend to book the dinner even if it seems bit expensive. It is worth it! Best experience we had in Japan.

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.

All staffs are very kind and they provided high quality of services. Onsen was great and also Kaiseki dinner was awesome and delicious. Stay at Okuno Hosomichi was an unforgettable time for us. At the room there were various snacks, fruits and drinks. Thank you and we will stay again when we visit Arima Onsen once again.

Our family of 3 had an absolutely fantastic experience during my stay! From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. The hotel personnel spoke fluent English, making communication smooth and welcoming. I was greeted with a welcome drink that included local beer—a lovely touch—and local snacks that gave a taste of the region right from the start. The attention to detail throughout the hotel was truly impressive. The thoughtfully curated toiletries and the uniquely designed key card showed just how much care went into every aspect of the guest experience. One of the highlights was the in-room customized board games, which added a fun and personal touch. I was especially amazed by the toy museum spread across three floors—it was whimsical, nostalgic, and completely free for guests to explore. Every corner held a new surprise, and I could’ve spent hours more there. My daughter could bear to leave. The complimentary onsen was another wonderful perk—clean, relaxing, and the perfect way to end a day of exploring. I genuinely wish I had stayed longer. This hotel offers more than just a place to sleep—it offers an experience, full of charm, creativity, and thoughtful hospitality. Highly recommended!
