Reviews of Arima Onsen Takayamaso Hanano 4 stars

Small ryokan - beautiful, very well decorated and modern. Stayed in one of their best rooms - which had a private onsen with the signature Arima waters (massive bonus). Exceedingly well appointed room. Had the half board package - attentive server (same one throughout the stay). Food included Kobe beef - exceptional. In the heart of Arima, it’s a short stroll down some steps to the Main Street where you can browse shops and have a light lunch / snacks.

Plan to arrive in Arima about 3pm - you can avail of the hotel’s pickup service by calling them. it’s up a small hill. Even to reach the hotel, there are some old stone steps.

Staff was welcoming, and their hospitality was great. Room condition was top-notch, and I have no complaints about it at all. Food quality was great, and public baths were quite small, but enough. Lots of master pieces maid me feel like staying in an exhibition. I will definitely come back.

There was a minor communication issue since the staff was not fluent in English, but it couldn't depreciate our experience with this hotel.

I had one of the most relaxing stays at this hotel. The thermal baths were absolutely incredible and truly an experience not to be missed. The cleanliness of the establishment is impeccable, and the staff takes great care of every guest. Everything is designed so you feel rested and completely relaxed from start to finish.

I will be staying again. The onsen was amazing! They even have open bar in the room was lovely. Staff were helpful and respectful. I really enjoyed my comfortable stay.

Interesting and VERY local experience, including the traditional Japanese breakfast, which included grilled salmon. The facilities were lovely and the onsen was extremely calm and clean, highly recommended. Note that the Onsen area is quite far from Kobe city (around 1 hour with public transportation) - so allow yourself some time if you are planning to visit Kobe. Very helpful staff - thru organised our bus back to Osaka and dropped us at the station.

The property was not flexible at all when it comes to check in time, so make sure you don’t arrive before check in time or you will find yourself strolling around the area.

Food was excellent, and the staff were polite and professional.

There are many stairs and so it was not easy for our old ant to go to the big bath and the eating place.

Nice room. Great dinner & breakfast. Excellent service from staff.
