Guest Reviews

• Jose Manuel (10/5): -
• Julie (10/5): - Excellent experience at a high end Ryokan
• Ilenia (7/5): Bellissimo posto, relax, ma la cucina a noi non è piaciuta - La struttura bellissima, una finezza degli arredi mai vista, personale gentilissimo e scrupoloso, colazione buona. Gestione dello spazio onsen poco sfruttabile come orari, purtroppo la cena non ha incontrato il nostro gusto.
• BEYRAND (10/5): -
• Genevieve (10/5): Wonderful property and staff, highly recommended - From the location, the welcoming, professional staff to the high end finishes across the property, the attention to detail, the in-room onsen and public onsen experience which can be privatised and the quality of the food, room, beds, the grounds and close proximity to the shops in town. Basically everything. Dinner reservations need to be made 3 days prior to the stay which I missed. It would be good to have a reminder for booking meals with the booking.
• EGOR (10/5): -
• Martina (9/5): - L’eccellente servizio dello staff e la vasca termale privata. La moquette.
• Chih Shen (5/5): - 古蹟為背景的設計，感受平靜 房間內溫泉的設計，只是用澡缸接溫泉水 大浴場開放時間非常短暫，錯過就要等第二天
• Kelly (10/5): -
• Nobuko (10/5): 非日常の時間と空間で最高のリラクゼーション - 夕食、朝食共大変美味しかったです。 館内、部屋内全ての綿貫宏介さんのセンス・世界観が落ち着きを与えてくれて、心地良かった。 サーマルルーム(低温岩盤浴)にまた入りたいです。 探しても、無いです。
• Rajvee (6/5): it was nice, but definitely not worth the money - the private onsen experience was good. the food was good but not kid friendly. I would have loved to have had some more flexibility in the food provided so we could have all enjoyed it there is a conveyer belt type system to go down to the rooms and our sons foot got caught in the belt and we had to use the emergency shutoff and carefully get his foot out. his shoe was completely destroyed and it was an extremely scary experience. the staff was helpful at the time it happened, but this conveyer belt system should be removed as it seemed extremely dangerous. We felt very lucky he did not get severely injured.
• Chi-Wai (10/5): -
• Yingqun (10/5): Lovely stay with amazing Onsen and food - Food, service, onsen and everything Nothing
• almehairi13 (9/5): - In room onsen and great staff

• Chris (10/5): -
• Holly (10/5): Last minute decision to visit, turned out to be the best stop in our trip. - From the moment we were picked up from the bus station: the service, the experience, everyone was excellent. Comfortable beds, my kids were happy to have their own space, delicious food, relaxing onsen. No complaints on anything. I wish our trip had time for a few more nights here.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Tranquility & elegance sums it all up.. magnificent! - It serene & quiet and has a very relaxing atmosphere Nothing.. it was superb!
• Charles (9/5): Trip altering first time stay, plan to come back - Fantastic amenities and personnel. They are truly the most luxury expedience in Arima. The creative and design of their brand plus the ability to use the Tocen Onsen was great! They asked us to confirm all meals 3x days in advance. Perhaps because it was a slow season but still don’t think it’s fair to assume we’ll know our every movement that far in the future!
• Henry (10/5): Would come here again in the future. - Staff was beyond excellent - the ambiance, the small flat that you get for the night was amazing. Shame I only had stayed one night, but the beds were great and everything in the facilities were great too. The personal hot spring was amazing to use.
• Steven (10/5): Heaven on Earth - This stay was incredible. The food was out of this world, meals were private, service top notch. There was a dry sauna and natural hot spring tub in our villa plus tons of room. Very comfortable, modern, clean, and elegant. We would definitely stay again and maybe even longer. Highly recommend! Loved it!! Nothing, everything was perfect!
• Adrian (10/5): - What a memorable stay. We will be back.
• Catherine (10/5): The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious! And the onsen was wonderful. - The property was absolutely beautiful, very peaceful and serene.
• Christoph (10/5): Absolutely amazing experience and charming staff. -
• Lily (10/5): Exceptional -
• Meredith (10/5): Peaceful and enjoyable - Beautiful property. Onsen and keiseki meal were on our to go list for Japan and this one did not disappoint. We took our 15/17 yo children and they loved it as well. Rooms were clean, well stocked and large.
• Miyang (10/5): Exceptional -

• Lussenhop (9/5): Superb -
• Ruiwen (10/5): Exceptional -

• ATSUSHI (10/5): - お水飲み放題で食事が美味しい！ お酒も種類豊富で素敵でした。
• Simon (10/5): Exceptional -
• ??? (10/5): - 今回で二回目の宿泊でした。 静かでぐっすり眠る事が出来ました。 料理も珍しい物だけが出て 楽しめました。
• Dj (8/5): Very good - It is very close to a spectacular waterfall and not far from town It is a nice place but way over priced for what it is. The rooms are all two floor cabanas which is nice but kind of strangely laid out. There is very little natural light. Getting down to them requires a long walk on a moving walkway. The food is okay but dinner made me quite ill and was 41,000 JPY
• Erica (10/5): A perfect place for a relaxing getaway! - The experience was excellent—facilities are exceptionally clean, staff super friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. Overall we had a most relaxing and enjoyable stay. No complaints at all.
• Ryan (10/5): Fantastic Ryokan and Onsen stay and experience. - Room was comfortable, the Onsen was amazing, really like that the private bath and its features, the meal was delicious and the staff were amazing. Needed an extra light in the closet.
• MAKOTO (10/5): - 食事に合わせたワインや日本酒のペアリングや 飲めない人向にはお茶のペアリングが良かったです
• Pipio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional - It is a wonderful location in the nature, great appartments and we had a great Dinner with our Kids together. Especially the Service was outstanding .. I really can recommend the place and will come for sure again...Thank you for the great time
• I (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly staff and beautiful environment with good onsen. We loved the breakfast a lot.
• Heesung (10/5): Onsen - very kind. organized breakfast menu should be Japanese style instead of American breakfast.
• Anilegna (8/5): Very comfortable onsen but a bit expensive - Style. Vintage forest lodge Setting. Ancient Arima Onsen. Next to a little river Explore. An hour drive from kyoto, the Tosen shrine and bustling Arima town just down the hill @ the hotel Old fashion vintage look everywhere, hotel itself is over 100 years old and reminded me of the old ski cabins in Big Bears California. Lots of dark wood and leather chairs. Sister building of the original Gosho, in biz since 1191年 (御所坊). Excellent service and they really thought of everything everything. From the valet parking to the outdoor moving walkway that goes up and down the hill Rooms. I was in room 7. Supremely comfortable room with heated floors. My room had a wooden bath that filled up with the golden spring water that Arima is known for. Part of the bathroom is a sauna I checked out the shared onsen as well but preferred my own bath, would have preferred an outdoor bath though. Food & drinks. Creative Japanese kaiseiki Prices. $1065 ($819 for the villa plus $246 for dinner for one) Rating. 4/5 a bit expensive for me
• Janice (10/5): Exceptional -
• Barry (10/5): Wonderful Onsen Retreat - Beautiful facility, spacious quarters, lovely, helpful staff.
• Toni (10/5): A definite honeymoon spot! relaxed, peaceful and beautiful - everything!!! it was just beautiful and tranquil. we were made to feel very special!
• Ananda (10/5): relaxing trip at a beautiful property - best hotel. wonderful, attentive and friendly service
• Ching (10/5): Wonderful memories, will definitely visit again. - We are grateful for the smiling faces and so helpful. You took extra attention to the child’s meal. All dishes for adult and kid’s meals were excellent. The hotel car rides were most helpful. The English speaking staff(Indonesian) was so helpful and always smiling。The onsen, masionette house was superb. I did not like the short stay, just 3 nights is too short. A joke!
• Sai (8/5): Very good -
• Verified traveler (8/5): プライベートな時間を過ごせる宿 - タクシーを事前に手配して頂いたのですが、通常の料金よりもお得に利用することが出来ました。お話の上手な運転手の方で宿に着く前に有馬温泉街をタクシーで案内してくださりました。 チェックイン時間より早く到着しましたが、お部屋の用意が済んでいたので、とても助かりました。 大浴場には風呂上がり用に瓶の牛乳が用意されているのが嬉しかったです。 部屋の備品や電化製品、インテリアなどはどれも良いものを使っていてこだわりを感じました。全体的に照明が暗めで落ち着いた雰囲気ですが、夜は少し怖かったです。 夕食、朝食は個室で、大きな窓から自然を望むことができました。お料理も貴重な但馬牛をメインとした厳選された食材を使用していました。 温泉街からは少し離れていますが、フロントにお願いすれば、無料で温泉街まで送迎をして頂けます。 残念だった点は掛け布団カバーと浴衣に穴が空いていたことです。 また庭を散策している時にメゾネットの方へ行ってみたのですが、通路に蜘蛛の巣がかかっていました。 自然に囲まれた宿なので虫が苦手な方は気になるかもしれません。 客室の場所によっては足元があまり良くないところもありました。 スタッフの方は事前のやりとりから滞在中を通してとても丁寧に対応してくださりました。ありがとうございました。
• KI-NRT (8/5): Charming property; enormous rooms; good food - Arima Onsen town is a stone's throw away from both Osaka and Kobe, which is likely one reason that hotels and ryokans can charge such high rates there. Being at the upper end of the pricing echelon, Arimasansoh Goshobessho's room rates can't be considered good value. Still, we decided to spend a two-night getaway there in spite of that. Sticker shock notwithstanding, we feel that Arimasansoh can be considered among the nicer small properties that Japan has to offer. Arimasansoh is nestled at the end of a long strip of hotels in the Arima Onsen town - it's really quaint, but still within walking distance to the main tourist areas. The property is charming, and the buildings and villas blend in nicely to the calming environment that is full of trees, ponds and other pretty vegetation. Stepping into the grounds for the first time will instantly reduce your blood pressure - it's that soothing of a place. Service is refined, if a bit formal; we could tell they've all been comprehensively trained in Japanese hospitality. Given the clientele that stays there, being discreet and unobtrusive is probably appropriate. The sprawling hotel grounds are divided into two distinct sections. On the lower hillside along the banks of a river are the two-storey Maisonette rooms. We weren't able to tour this room type, but at first glance they seemed quite close together - sort of townhouse style. Further up the hill (near the reception area and the public onsen baths) are the one-storey Villa Suites, which is the room type that we stayed at. Our room was absolutely gigantic, and felt more spacious than the published size (for what it's worth, both the Maisonette and Villa Suites are listed as 100m².) There's an enormous living room as well as a large bedroom, along with a small balcony with views across the ravine. The Villas also have a bathroom the size of many hotel rooms. It comes complete with dual vanities, a sauna as well as a private Onsen (hot springs) bath. Further adding to the sense of massive space is the extremely high vaulted ceilings. Aesthetically speaking, the dark wood and dark brown furnishings were a bit on the dark side (for our tastes); the lighting was barely sufficient to prevent the room from exhibiting a gloomy feel - but just barely. The Onsen bath is nice; however, it's not of the free-flowing variety... it's empty and you fill the tub with the Onsen water by turning on the bath tap, just as you would a regular bath. It wouldn't be a problem but for the fact that the water trickles out at a glacial pace. We literally had to let the water run for over 30 minutes before the tub was filled up halfway. Arimasansoh also offers a communal Onsen bath area, one each for women and men. As was the case with the Onsen in the Villa, the water is unique in that it's brackish brown in color. And, you can really smell the sulfur. Arima Onsen is renowned for the (alleged) healing powers of its mineral hot springs; whether you believe it or not, it's unlike most other Onsens you will experience in the country where the water is clear. Dinner at Arimasansoh is French inspired but with Japanese ingredients and flair. Some examples of the fusion experience include Bouillabaisse with fried Lobster, Japanese Turnip and Yuzu; Red Sea Bream & Avocado Tartare with Grapefruit Jelly; and Spring Roll with Lotus Root Mochi and Cheese; and Black Sesame Mousse. The final dish before dessert is similar to Japanese kaiseki courses in that it's rise, miso soup and pickled tsukemono vegetables. And you consume most (if not all) of the courses with a chopstick. Arimasansoh will definitely keep you guessing and anticipating. Overall, the food is very good but just short of exceptional. Our breakfast is more decidedly Western, although still with some Japanese elements - think French Toast, cauliflower soup, Burdock root potage, salad, a pastry basket, grilled fish, grilled vegetables and a variety of fruit. Again, it was satisfying although not super memorable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Arimasansoh. While it's definitely among the most expensive of Japan's luxury properties, the quality of service, hotel grounds, rooms, onsen experience and food will not make you feel cheated in any way. One final observation: some of the TripAdvisor reviewers noted that dinner was delivered to their room, bento style. That was definitely not the case when we were there. Both dinner and breakfast were served in private rooms in the main building; I'm not sure whether that's the norm or the exception (sorry, I didn't bother to ask the conditions by which the meal offerings differ.)
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 전통 료칸의 운취와 현대적 편리함이 잘 어우러져 있음. 객실 수가 워낙 적어 스파를 거의 단독으로 이용할 수 있음. 시설과 서비스 모두 훌륭.
• Jamie575 (8/5): Chilled vibes, good food, villa lifestyle - We arrived at Arimasansoh GoshoBessho by car. The staff met us at the main gate and helped us to unload our bags. The ryokan is on the hill, and built down a steep slope. The ryokan staff parked the car in a private car park lot about 3-5 minutes drive away. Check-in was quick and painless and then we were shown to our villa just around the corner from the onsen. The staff helped us bring up our luggage, up the uneven stone steps. Our villa was cavernous. We walked into a huge room. The room has no ceiling, just the Roof beams and the roof. There’s a Living room with two sets of sofas surrounding a table. There’s also another sitting area closer to the two spare beds along the East wall. Dinner was brought into the room as two large bento boxes per person. We also received a bottle of sake. There are Two large flat screen TVs in the room. It only receives Japanese TV stations. There’s also a DVD player and DVDs available. I’m uncertain if it’s only Japanese movies. My son used the Study table to play his computer games. There’s also a Bar counter with bar fridge below. The fridge drinks are chargeable. There’s Mineral water bottles provided free in the fridge and on the bar counter. The Bathroom area was special. We had Double sinks and a whole lot of Amenities and ladies products to spoil your skin. A Hairdryer was provided. There’s also Separate toilet in its own room, complete with its Japanese toilet functions. We loved the Large sauna area before the bathroom. The sauna is kept consistently toasty. There’s a a large bathroom with bath tub, plus large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. We could put the shower in its mount and we could shower standing up. We were Informed hot water for room only 800litres. Once gone, cold showers! There are Yukutas in the bathroom and you can pair these with large down java keys if you’re walking to the onsen. There is also a large cubby hole for staff to put in newspapers and other requests without disturbing guests. Parts of the floor are heated, including the bedroom floor. There’s also a central heating system for the room. Our bed room was to the side of the living room. There’s two beds in the room. They share a central bed side table. There are two electrical points there too. The beds were very comfortable and we slept quite well. Some of the not-so-well thought-out features includes: - No pyjamas - No lamps on bed side. Once lights are off, no more reading - Spotlights for lights in room is rather harsh Breakfast is provided in your own room near the main building. Breakfast was western style and there’s plenty to eat; including hot dishes and breads and fruit and yoghurt. We liked the chilled vibes at this ryokan. It just seemed to invited you to kick back and take it easy. The food was good and pretty plentiful. Recommended!
• Verified traveler (10/5): 一味違う、素敵な場所 - 大変お世話になりました。家族で本当にゆっくりした時間を過ごせました。お料理が、とっても美味しくて一仕事違う感じでしたし、お部屋も100㎡と広くて家族4人でもゆったりでした。温泉も和みました。送迎のお車もとても便利でしたし、とにかく、毎年の恒例にしたいと思いました。
• MLauTravel (8/5): Beautiful ryokan and excellent service - My wife and I stayed at the ryokan for 1 night. There are only 10 villas (5 single story villas and 5 maisonettes) that can accommodate a maximum of 4 persons each. The grounds are beautiful with lots of vegetation. Even though it is situated just next to the road, you feel a sense of tranquility and serenity once you step into the ryokan. The villas are very spacious and well appointed. There are two public baths (for males and females) in the ryokan. These are open to guests for use from around 6 am to midnight. In addition, there is a private onsen a few minutes' drive from the ryokan which is only for the use of the ryokan's guests. There are 2 baths in the private onsen so 2 sets of guests can use them at anytime time. However, guests will have to make a reservation with the front desk. The ryokan provides a car to drive guests to the private onsen accompanied by a senior staff member who is there to explain everything to the guests. When you have finished your bath, just call the ryokan using the phone in the onsen and they will send the car to pick you up. However, the private onsen outside the ryokan is available for use only during certain hours, so best to check with the front desk. The ryokan could not provide us with dinner as the dinning area was fully booked for a private function by some guests that evening. However, we had breakfast the next morning at the ryokan. Both the food and service were great. . We are most impressed with the excellent service by the staff members who are all very helpful and smiley. A number of them speak pretty good English, which is a plus. One of them, Sawada san, a young man brought us to our villa and explained the amenities to us. He was very nice and helpful, and offered to take some photos for us. He is a very good photographer, knowing the best spots in the ryokan for great pictures.
• Verified traveler (6/5): 친절 하지만 음식은 별로에요 - 일단 무슨 문제인지 모르나 호텔 도착전 이멜 보냈으나 답이 오지 않아 전화를 해야했고, 음식이 나쁘지는 않았으나 아침식사는 다 한꺼번에 나오고 이틀 거의 비슷한 음식을 줘서 별로 였다. 서비스는 친절 했다 손님이 거의 없는거 같았는데 거동이 불편하신 어머니가 계셨는데 돌계단 올라가는 방을 줘서 힘들어 하셨다 나는 고쇼,벳쇼 두군데 호텔이 있는지 몰랐는데 먼저 지어진 고쇼에 노천탕 경치가 좋대서 가봤는데 별로였다..좁고 경치도 별로고.. 그곳이 가격이 싼지 손님이 많은거 같았다 온천물은 좋았다
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 너무 직원분들이 친절하셨습니다. 마을내에서 차로 계속 이동할 수있는점도 좋았고 방도 청결하고 정말 즐거운 추억이 되었습니다
• Resortbabe (10/5): Top notched - Very responsive hotel which called us repeatedly to warn us that the super heavy rains and floods have resulted in roadblocks which might be difficult for us to access the hotel. After few detours we got to the hotel and was relieved by how pretty this little hidden gem is. They gave us free upgrade to the upper level villas because it was slippery to get to the lower level villas, which is accessed by a conveyor belt. The onsen was the signature gold onsen, the first of this kind I have been too, full of minerals! The hotel’s beds were very clean and comfy, very nice set up. There was even a sauna in the villa. The only downside was the floor was a little bit sticky in the living area. The food was good, I specially like the bread. The croissants were the best I had in Japan. Would love to stay there again.
• SEYEONG (10/5): 아주 좋아요 또 가고 싶네요 - 굉장히 시설이 좋고 그때그때 숙소관리를 해주시는 느낌으로 아주 좋았습니다. 마지막날이라 숙소에서 간사이공항까지 가는 길과 시간이 굉장히 애매했었는데 그런 것 까지 세세히 알려주시고 같이 고민해주신 덕분에 편하게 공항까지 갈수 있었습니다. 직원분들도 영어 굉장히 잘하시고 굉장히 친절하시고 한국직원분도 계셔서 안내해주셨습니다. 픽업서비스도 있고 공용온천도 조용했으며 방안에서 개인 사우나 및 반신욕도 가능합니다. 아리마온천마을 구경할때도 생각보다 가까웠습니다. 걸어서 5분에서 10분정도. 석식과 조식도 아주 훌륭합니다. 깨끗하고 맛있습니다. 다음에 또 이용할생각입니다.
• lilacfields (6/5): Disappointing - We paid top dollar to stay at this ryokan in peak autumn season, but sadly it did not live up to its reputation as, some say, the best ryokan in Arima Onsen. First, they told us that they could not accommodate my non-dairy diet for dinner because it was French cuisine. We had booked Gossho Besso precisely because we had wanted to try their French cooking, and had expected that as with any fine dining establishment , they would have been able to accommodate dietary limitations. They wanted to pack us off to their sister ryokan, Tocen Goshobo, for their kaiseki dinner, but that was not what we had signed up for. They finally relented after much to-ing and fro-ing. We had booked a villa (as opposed to their maisonettes) which was set up on a higher level, with the bedroom disappointingly backing onto a road, and certainly with no stream in sight. (The lower level maisonettes were nearer the stream). I found the villa too imposing. It was huge and dark, with so much wasted space. For a ryokan that charges the rates it does, it was surprising that it did not supply pyjamas for the night in addition to yukatas to walk around in. Unless I am mistaken, there is no in-room private bath in any of the units. The public bath is in a standalone outhouse, easily accessed. One good thing is that they had standing showers for post onsen dipping, but what a pity that it was not an open-air bath. As such, it was totally lacking in atmosphere. If we were to return to Arima Onsen, we would want to try out their sister ryokan, the older Tocen Goshobo, which is right next to the town, but in a pretty setting, and which had a nice ryokan feel about it.
• TheBlackLab88 (10/5): Fantastic! - Cannot even describe how fantastic this place is and how highly I recommend it! Wonderful location, extremely helpful and polite staff, beautiful villas and amazing food! This is the most relaxing place I've ever been to and even though it's up there in price it will be worth every penny! I wish we could have stayed here forever!
• haok (8/5): 隠れ家的な時間を過ごしたいときに最高にフィットする - 有馬温泉の奥座敷に位置する。山々の自然の中に溶け込んでいる敷地には、10軒のヴィラがある。ロッジ風の建物で、木のぬくもりを感じることができる。宿泊したヴィラは100㎡あった。 夕食はコースのフランス料理。地場の採りたての野菜がふんだんに使われ、自然の味が堪能できる。ベテランのソムリエがワイン、そして稀なチーズをサーヴしてくれる。 敷地内には温泉がある。金の湯。からだが休まる。肌がツルツル感じが分かる。ヴィラが10しかないので、貸し切り状態になることもある。 スタッフの方々は最高に素晴らしいサービスを提供してくれる。また訪れたい。
• 467ck (10/5): Relaxing luxury - Remarkable service, very quiet, huge rooms (more like villas) with "body temperature" sauna, attention to details, nice garden, excellent "fusion" cuisine: I had a wonderful relaxing time after a week of hard work in Tokyo and Osaka.
• Traveling Trio (10/5): Beautiful Experience! - Everything about this experience was top notch. From the staff (friendly and so very helpful) to the room (simply beautiful with amazing amenities) to the superb breakfast. Very pricey so definitely a once in a lifetime experience.
• kuaychap (10/5): Very glad we stayed - We only found out about Arima Onsen from a Japanese friend who comes from the area. And I only found out about Gosho Bessho because it is the sister ryokan of the famous and historical Tocen Goshobo, where we also stayed. If I had to choose between the two, I would go for Gosho Bessho. It is a modern Western-style ryokan beautifully situated, constructed and run. It is uphill from the centre of Arima Onsen, where Tocen Goshobo is, about a 10 minute walk. On the way up, you will pass other modern ryokans - large, concrete and unappealing. GB is low rise, set in gardens and trees overlooking a fast moving stream, and has only 10 villas for accomodation, one set of 5 at the same level as the main building, and the other 5 at a lower level reached by a moving walkway. The 8 of us stayed in the lower villas, which are double-storey, large and very well equipped. Most staff speak English, some very well. Ryokan newbies won't have to worry about what slippers to wear inside. The food is Japanese-Western, and very good indeed. Dinner was at least 1 star level, and was most enjoyable, even with an interruption because of a power outage caused by a falling branch. The staff coped very well with that, in line with the very high level of service throughout, and even after our stay. The onsen is medium-sized, about right for the number of guests. Water is brown and hot but not unbearably so. If you have not stayed in a ryokan and want a gentle introduction before a full-on Japanese experience, I highly recommend a stay at Gosho Bessho.
• CHIA CHIEN (10/5): 因該多住上幾天 - 非常有味道的飯店,所有的一切都非常棒,只是在英文的溝通上不是那麼容易....
• Sharon (10/5): 很棒的度假飯店 - 這是一個非常好的小飯店 很貼心 讓客人覺得很被尊重 房間更棒 難以形容 下次到有馬溫泉 一定還會住這間
• PaigeR890 (10/5): Just spectacular! - A gem! My teenagers (14 and 15) and I found Gosho Bessho to have 1) stunning accommodations 2) helpful staff 3) truly deLICious food and 4) relaxing surroundings. It's walkable to town but there is also a car available. I saw this place online but did not choose it because the meal plan is French. Why eat French food in Japan? But the cuisine has a Japanese bent and it is fresh and gorgeously prepared. We ate everything and I am traveling with a Jr. High aged boy! Our original Onsen could not take us for longer after our flight was delayed by two days. We did stay one night there and then they sent us to Gosho Bessho and we like it even better. Could not recommend more highly!
• yu-chuan (10/5): 追求極致的日式風格 - 日本人都知道的頂級飯店，不是美式的富麗堂皇，在意的是入住的感受。一到門口表明入住後有五六名壯丁出來幫忙提行李(不是用推車喔)，直接到大廳前台旁的休息區奉上茶水及吃光光的精緻日式和菓子。隨後兩名人員蹲在你座位的旁邊來辦理入住手續。媽媽對於大廳的超大顆青蘋果塔有興趣，也能挑選較好的洗淨後送來。英文對話上可，態度笑容都無懈可擊(除了一名年紀稍長的人員笑容有點硬之外，哈。我太挑了)。 入住後，四人同住一間也覺得寬敞(打排球不成問題)，備品、拖鞋、浴衣皆按照入住備放。房間可以泡咖啡、泡茶、罐裝水都不是隨便的便宜貨。床的品質不錯也超大。浴室與廁所都乾濕分離，浴室有溫泉還有蒸氣室。 晚餐包廂不算大，到也寬敞。三人服務的恰到好處，有者日式的嚴肅風格或者法式的正式應對，面對美式的玩笑也能應對自如，服務人員值得加分。餐點是日本人覺得高級的法式料理，討厭法式分子料理同伴們對此晚餐也讚不絕口。過程中豪華舒適的晚餐絕對值得一試。毫不打擾的服務也不用分心招呼，絕對掩蓋英文不夠流利的小缺點(太流利我也聽不懂@@)。用餐完畢也不趕人讓我們恰如其分的休息享受餐後的餘韻。 過程中只要經過餐廳包廂迴廊，人員看到階會注意是否需要服務，就連維修打掃的老伯看到你也是點頭微笑讓你先過，時在沒話說。(神奇的冰塊在暖氣房可以撐8小時還有完整冰塊可用，驚訝) 餐後坐在中庭吹風，聽到白天的鳥叫、晚上的蟲鳴，有如交響曲的彼此爭鋒，可見環境的乾淨與整潔。 (真要挑缺點，澡堂的抽水機實在大聲，澡堂大小及整理儀容的備品足夠但不完備) 西式早餐也讓同伴滿意的無話可說，舒服、乾淨、適當的用餐環境及光線~七十多歲的長輩、五十歲挑食的同伴、挑嘴的另一半都覺得非常完美的一滴不剩。 離老街有一小段無妨的距離，到也清靜。 以這個等級來說，此價格已不是講求CP值的條件。追求最好的感受不是金錢可以比擬的。
• Xixilucy (10/5): excellent service and facilities - me and my husband stayed here for a night in Jan. They have top of the class facilities and services. Even though we are the only Chinese couple we saw in the hotel, they have a Chinese staff that made our stay a lot easier. This might not be the place if you are looking for ten pool and onsen to share with tour groups. it is excluded with a few dozen detached villas settling quitely in the woods. Each villa has its own stone sauna room and shower and bath but no onsen. Public onsen has gold water and is indoor. Room is spacious at 100m2, able to fit a whole family, beddings are very soft. Location is not in the center of town but they provide complimentary driving to the center and their sister hotel goshobo whenever you need, and you can also catch a ride back.
