Great room with a nice view. Private open-air onsen was really enjoyable. Staff was very attentive and their hospitality was really on a high level. My wife had a birthday so the hotel managed to prepare a nice gift for her - amazing! The food... oh the food... Chef Ota-san and his crew have managed to prepare one of the most enjoyable feasts I've ever had. Big thanks to everybody involved in preparation of such culinary joy! My next visit in Arima will surely be here 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

Our room was amazing, both the room and hotel are very clean. The room was quiet, our private onsen and garden were beautiful we enjoyed them a lot. There is a cattle in the room with tea and also a coffee maker. The staff was amazing, really friendly, very attentive and helped with all our questions. They reserved restaurants for us and brought us with a car to the restaurants. They also helped with arranging transport for our luggage to the next hotel. There was also a dedicated English speaking staff member. The location of the hotel is also great, it's higher up in Arima, which makes it nice quiet.

Amazing location, great view from the room, super comfortable bed, very freindly and helpful staff, good wifi. We wanted to send post cards from the hotel to our home back in Europe, the front desk staff told us they will send them for free (we did recieved it). The hotel also has restaurants and bars which looked great, unfortunately we didn't get a chance to try them due to busy schedule.

Such a special property. Excellent onsen which during our visits never had more than two other guests. The in room dining was outstanding - the quality of the food (at dinner and breakfast) and exceptional service by Emily made for a most memorable stay. Drinks at the piano bar were a perfect start to an evening. The beds were very comfortable and the room was so very quiet. We would happily return!

    A true 5 star hotel like they used to be with incredible customer service and facilities. Great swimming pool, restaurants and food. Shuttle bus service to and from the main local train station was very convenient and for free before check in and after check out. I would definitely go back next time I visit Kobe.

    It’s understated but in a nice way. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. The private Onsen is so relaxing. It’s a luxury to have it all to yourself. We booked a Kaiseki dinner and it was amazing! A big thank you to the Executive chef Yoshihiro Ogasawara!

    The hotel has a luxurious feel to it.. Staff are extremely friendly and courteous, they make you feel like a VIP. The location is great - it’s walking distance from shopping district and the harbour. The room I stayed in had the biggest bathtub that I have ever seen anywhere.

    Outstanding view with quiet location. Dinner and BF were over my expectation. Steak during dinner was superb condition, we think it deserves Michelin star. We stayed for two nights and they adjusted food for us nicely. My kids also enjoyed their food and could not eat them all. Onsen were also great with many baths to choose from. Room got good space that four of us feels very comfortable.
