    Satisfaction that exceeds the price.”

    Arima Onsen has a high-end image, and I usually only visited for day trips without staying overnight, but this accommodation was very reasonable, cozy, and the movement within the facility was smooth. The room was very clean and smelled nice, and the bath, which requires a reservation, can be reserved free of charge, allowing for a calm bathing experience. The water temperature was just right. I have preferences when it comes to food and usually chose accommodations with buffets, but they accommodated my needs as much as possible (I dislike raw food), and every dish was delicious; there were no ingredients I disliked, allowing me to enjoy my meals without stress. There was no toilet in the room, but there was a sink, so it wasn't too inconvenient. After dinner, I also enjoyed the large public bath with golden spring water, which was very satisfying! Staying there allowed me to explore the Arima Onsen streets at night for the first time, giving me a different atmosphere, which was nice. Since Arima Onsen is a place I could visit many times, and all the staff were friendly, I would like to repeat my stay here next time.

    I was healed.”

    I visited to heal the fatigue of city life! I went by bus from Sannomiya and arrived in about 30 minutes, and after getting off the bus, it was just a short walk while leisurely eating. The atmosphere of the inn and the staff were very friendly, and I thought I would like to visit again! If I had to say one thing, we wanted to have some drinks during the meal, so I ordered a Calpis sour, but it was probably just Calpis mixed with barley shochu, and it wasn't very tasty, which was a bit disappointing. The food was visually appealing and tasted excellent!!! I will definitely visit again!!

    A nice onsen getaway”

    The hotel is located near the main busy street but is abit of uphill walk. It is a small ryokan with private baths even in our room which makes it very convenient to have a bath. Food wise is kaiseki style with quality ingredients but abit on the sour side which is not really my cup of tea, but overall still decent. Highly recommended

    Heartfelt hospitality”

    Since Arima is nearby, I often use various hotels. I had previously used the sister establishment, Hanamusubi, but this was my first time at Kotoris. The price was slightly cheaper than Hanamusubi... It may have been because of the plan that didn't include a private bathroom, but the place was compact and going to the toilet felt very close, just like at home, so it didn't bother me. With welcome drinks, coffee and tea are available 24 hours, and there are two types of private baths where I could leisurely enjoy the hot spring by myself. The unique gold sand characteristic of Arima had to be accessed at the main building, but it was just a 3-minute walk. The meals were particularly wonderful, displaying a great sense of presentation. The main focus was on vegetables, accompanied by black wagyu beef and sashimi, among other items... It was pleasing to the eyes and the portions were satisfying. Breakfast was served at Kotoris, not at the main building. Arima gives off an image of being luxurious and expensive, but this place offers good cost performance, with services and meals that do not fall short of others. I would like to use this place again in the future.

    It was very good!”

    We stayed as a couple. The room was close to the entrance and next to other rooms, so I was concerned about soundproofing, but I heard nothing and had a comfortable stay. The room was very clean, and the furnishings and hairdryer provided were of good quality and felt elegant. The room did not have a toilet or bath, as the toilet was shared and the bath required a walk to a separate building, but it wasn't a problem for me, and the golden spring was amazing! Above all, the meals were very elaborate, with many dishes, and having two meals included at this price was surprisingly good! It became a wonderful memory, thank you.
