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.

Initially email communication was misleading , you actually don’t need to request for shuttle fr the San Bandai bus from Osaka. The airport shuttle stops n pickup from there. We stayed 2 nights, no need to book private, the 9Fand B2 baths were great, the interactive Kaiseri dinners were excellent, the breakfast was so good, we skipped lunch both days. Spouse making plans to go back next year. We requested the Japanese style rooms and enjoyed it despite tough getting up fr the floor due to my titanium knees

We had a pleasant stay at Hotel Hanakoyado. The room was comfortable. The private onsen did not require reservation and it opened the whole evening and morning for the hotel guests before the check-out time. The Japanese dinner and breakfast were meticulously prepared with local ingredients. The free parking with shuttle service was also attentive and reliable.

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.

If I dreamt up the perfect room, this would be it! I loved : the # of wastebaskets, the controls for the lights and curtains, the toilet, the automatic closing bathroom door, the room’s small amenities, which felt very luxurious and nice, the storage closet, sauna, and hot spring/ tub/shower room- absolutely everything. Every detail of the room has been thought out. Thoughtful design, purposeful and functional layout and mechanisms, and it all looked and felt so luxurious.

    The ryokan is small, it has only a few rooms, so you can feel private there. The food was beyond great, tasty and the portions were large. The onsen was clean, with a great outdoor pool. Since the hotel is small, you had complete privacy in the onsen. The service was top notch. The ladies took care of us like their own members of the family. I recommend this place.

    The outdoor private onsens were amazing. Booking them was easy and there was always availability. It's really not necessary to get the in-room onsen. The yukata and japanese pj's which were provided were also great quality. I now regret not buying some :) There are some great hiking trails and a hilltop shrine near the hotel, which are very quiet and secluded.
