5-Starhotels in Kobe

I have to express my sincere gratitude to Ms Hatsumi from the hotel. Thanks to her help, I had a wonderful trip to Rokkōsan. She is definitely a polite, professional, and of course pretty lady. Her communication skills are good especially that she speaks fluent English which would be of great help for someone like me who don't speak any japanese. Although the original local tour was full of bookings , she helped me reserve a taxi and solve my ease of communicating with local taxi drivers. The view and environment is splendid with a great hotel service teams. I would highly recommend to someone who wants to experience a unique accommodation experience. Though the drawbacks , as you might know already , is 1) no private bathroom 2) not sound-proof building materials , but it is understandable given that the hotel is with ancient history

We had an amazing stay at Arimasansoh Goshobessho! From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional, with a warm and friendly welcome. The hotel & rooms itself are incredibly comfy and cozy, with a warm, intimate atmosphere and a delightful wood scent that adds to its charm. The amenities were excellent, and every detail was thoughtfully prepared to ensure a relaxing experience. The breakfast was delicious and exceeded our expectations (very good French toast, and onion soup) such a great way to start the day! A special thank-you to the hotel staff for their kindness and efficiency in returning the Apple Watch we accidentally left behind—it was much appreciated! Highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful and memorable getaway.

Het is het einde van het jaar en ik heb eindelijk de kans om oudejaarsavond met mijn gezin in Japan door te brengen. De eerste stop was om naar dit warmwaterbronhotel te komen om de Arima Hot Spring te ervaren, een van de drie grootste warmwaterbronnen in Japan. Nadat we aankwamen vanaf Kansai Airport, maakten we een afspraak om direct bij het hotel opgehaald te worden. Na een lange dag werken namen we een duik in de gouden soep om onze vermoeidheid te verlichten. Het hotel ligt op een helling, in tegenstelling tot traditionele groepshotels bevindt dit zich ergens tussen een hotel en een B&B. In de receptieruimte kunt u uitrusten op de bank, wat snacks eten en een kopje matcha of sencha naar smaak bestellen. De ober helpt u bij het inchecken in de kamer. We boekten twee deluxe kamers met unieke tatami-matten. Het was de eerste keer dat we zo sliepen. Ik beoordeel de slaapkwaliteit van dit hotel zelfs beter dan de privébadkamer van het hotel. De privé-warmwaterbronnen van het hotel zijn eigenlijk niet groot. De ene is de gouden soep en de andere is de zilveren soep. Het ontbijt bestaat uit een heel eenvoudige vaste maaltijd. Rijst, bijgerechten, gegrilde zalm, tamagoyaki en misosoep zijn weliswaar niet veel, maar toch erg vullend. Geen wonder dat Japanners niet dik zijn. Ik kan dit warmwaterbronhotel ten zeerste aanbevelen voor een gezin om één nacht te ervaren. Het is een beetje duur, maar de ervaring waard.

It was absolutely awesome. We really needed this kind of rest after two busy weeks in Japan. We were so happy to relax body and soul. The room was luxurious and spacious; we chose a traditional one. This was our first hot spring experience, so it's hard to compare, but we loved it. All the hot spring rooms are strictly private, which is why we chose this ryokan. We have very large tattoos, and there are no problems with that. The kaiseki dinner is a real ritual and a show that lasts two hours of clear pleasure, everything was incredibly delicious, beautiful, and nutritious. Breakfast was also excellent. I recommend arriving in Arima village in the morning, rather than staying in Kobe or Osaka, to have time to explore it. It's small but charming, with that perfect anime vibe.

Our stay in this hotel was great! I wish we stayed here longer than one evening. Our traditional Japanese room was very spacious and had two separate toilet rooms attached as well as a bathroom. The view from our room was amazing! And sitting area before the huge windows even had a massage chair and a vanity. The shoji doors showed some signs of wear but everything were very clean. Our kaiseki dinner was spectacular and incredibly tasty. But I wish there were some instructions for foreigners how to enjoy it properly. Our server didn't speak English and we didn't speak Japanese so there was a minor misunderstanding but everything was resolved 😅 I'm definitely a fan of such kind of a meal now! We visited all the hot springs that are available in this hotel and it's sister hotel across the river. I liked the silver indoor spring in our hotel and gold outdoor spring in sister-hotel the most. Hot springs are closed after 24:00. And open from 6:00 to 9:00 nest morning. Unfortunately they are closed from 9:00 to 12:00(check out time) which make it impossible to enjoy them in the morning for those who prefer to sleep in(( Would definitely reccommend the stay for relaxing and luxurious experience.

Het hotel doet er ongeveer een half uur over van station Sannomiya naar station Arima Onsen. U kunt het hotel bellen om u op te halen. De faciliteiten van het hotel zijn niet erg oud en de kamers in Japanse stijl voelen prettig aan. Het diner wordt op de kamer geserveerd en de tijd wordt ingesteld bij het inchecken. Nog steeds erg rijk, onze dag bestond uit rundvlees. Er lijken kamers te zijn met verschillende prijsklassen en verschillende maaltijden, dat zie ik aan het ontbijt. Het hotel heeft een eigen goudbad, maar er is geen zilverbad. De openbare badkamer is niet groot en er is een buitenzwembad. De heren- en damestoiletten zijn elke dag afwisselend geopend, maar in principe zijn ze hetzelfde. Het ontbijt is op de t****e verdieping. De ober had het al klaargezet toen we daarheen gingen. Omdat we de meest gemeenschappelijke ruimte boekten, zag ik dat sommige gasten gebakken vis bij hun maaltijden hadden, waardoor de maaltijden in verschillende kamers verschillend waren. Het algemene serviceniveau is zeer hoog. U kunt souvenirs kopen in de supermarkt van het hotel voor dezelfde prijs als buiten. De zoete zwarte bonen zijn een aanrader.

The hotel is old yet classic. Everything is in general well maintained, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The hotel may not be so accessible compared with those in Sannomiya, but the hotel offers shuttle bus to Sannomiya daily and Shin-Kobe on weekends. It helps you get around and go to the train stations. However, do note that the bus may be full sometimes. But even so or if you miss the bus, it won’t be long to walk to Kobe (Rapid and Special Rapid) or Motomachi (Rapid), depending on the train you need to take. I really like the view. Even the room not facing the sea has a nice view both during the day and night. The Meriken park is also just downstairs. The hotel has a free self-service laundry and a Family Mart, but there are limited items to buy after 8 PM since no staff will be there. Another limitaiton is that the gym and the food service both close after 10 PM, if I recall correctly.

호텔 깔끔하고, 직원들 너무 친절합니다. 가족여행다녀왔는데 부모님들께서도 만족하셨습니다. 온천 남자.여자 탕이 하루씩 바뀌어 양쪽다 사용해볼수있어서 좋았고, 저녁석식 먹고 방으로 돌아오니 이불을 다 깔아놓으셨더라구요. 잘 쉬다 갑니다. 감사합니다.

Once in a lifetime experience for me and my wife to see the spectacular views from our room both at night and in the morning. Also, the glamping facilties are top notch. Yuna and Yuki guided us step by step on how to prepare our dinner and breakfast. They are kind and we fully enjoy the process. We love the place and the people from Nature Live. Strongly recommended indeed!
