We truly had a wonderful stay here. The staff were incredibly accommodating and they were able to prepare completely vegetarian meals for me, which were excellent. My friend, who had the regular meals, said the dinner was the best meal he ever had! It's nestled away outside the town center which provided a really peaceful atmosphere. It's worth the uphill walk to get there. You can fall asleep to the sounds of flowing water from the nearby stream. The bathing facilities were small but excellent. It's a small ryokan so there aren't many guests using the facilities at any given time. I had the baths to myself all morning. Definitely recommended! Staying here was a highlight of our trip.

The uphill walk to get there with our particularly heavy luggage was not fun but it was worth it, especially with the empty onsen waiting for us upon our arrival.

The staff were wonderful and so helpful; and the meals (both dinner and breakfast were excellent. We also enjoyed the hot springs!

I can't think of anything!

Was a very beautiful and old Japanese style property, with a beautiful garden and a traditional room. The Japanese kaiseki meal was excellent, the staff were excellent and the outdoor pool was very nice.

There was no heat in the toilet or shower, though they did provide a portable heater for shower, but toilet area was cold. If you are not used to sleeping on a tatami, or have mobility issues, you might have trouble with the sleeping arrangement. We were comfortable enough.

The food was excellent and service from the staff was very attentive and kind. The hot spring was really peaceful and tranquil.

The room was great with a nice garden view especially in autumn. The meals and the staff are great with details as well as quality.

The bath is kind of small and since it's in a corner, coming via car may be anxiety inducing for inexperienced drivers.

Lovely little hotel in Arima onsen. We chose the hotel because of the view from the room, and it did not disappoint. The fall foliage view from the room was breathtaking. The food was also great, both dinner and breakfast. The staffs were also incredibly nice and helpful. Since it's a small hotel, they treated us with great care and attention.

The hotel is quite small, so it lacks the facilities of big hotels. The onsen area is also small. Not really an issue if you enjoy the peace and quite.

The staff was absolutely amazing! Loved everything about it! It was so clean and beautiful, and 100% authentic. Food was amazing and the onsen was lovely.

Everything was perfect.

The inn was very well kept and maintained. Although the inn itself is on the older side, the furniture and decor is very traditional and is cared after. The inn is very cozy and comfortable, along with the onsen being in incredible shape. This is a very nice stay for a night as the onsen is essentially private with very few other guests sharing at once. The dinner and breakfast service was incredible. With a traditional japanese breakfast and dinner, we were very well taken care of in terms of food. Sleeping arrangements were excellent as well, with service to lay down and put away the futons. Staff was beyond excellent and although we did not speak a lot of japanese, they still understood us and provided excellent service. In addition to our stay, we forgot some clothes in the closet and the inn offered to send them back to us before we leave japan. Excellent service.

Some of the furniture and carpet, although well maintained, can tell that it is getting up there in terms of age. Cracks in the leather in the couches as well as stains due to the age of the carpet can be seen. Aside from these two things, everything else was excellent.
