Arima Onsen Takayamaso Hanano

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.

Transport was provided to and from the station and luggage was carried to the room as well. Was exceptionally pleased with the room which came with two baths and even a sauna. I could take a bath in the comfort of my own room whenever and I liked it better than the public bath. The room was also spacious and had plenty of amenities. View from the room and the complimentary mini bar was great. Staff were wonderful.

We love everything about this accommodation. The staff were friendly, the facilities were exceptional. The kaiseki breakfast had no flaws. They were delicious. The yukatas are really warm so it was very comfortable for us to even go outside using them. The yukatas are even warmer than our jackets. We also got free slippers that we could write our names on. We also really love the kinsen and the onsen. They provide complete facilities too like a place to take a shower, soap, shampoo, hair brush, cotton pads, hairdryer, shower cap, and so on. They also provide lockers for you to put your clothes in.

Super comfy room, traditional Japanese style with some modern additions like TV, Nespresso etc Onsen small but clean, high quality shampoo and all the other things. Very good food and service. Free beer and drinks in the lobby in the evening .Hotel decoration with art and flower compositions makes it look like a museum. Personal is very friendly and helpful.

The room was clean, very spacious. Plugs were available every corner of the room. Staff were courteous and very helpful. Although the onsen was small, it was very clean and comfortable. The outdoor onsen felt amazing. Lots of amentities available to use after the bath. Food provided was filling and delicious - a lot of variety. Staff were very helpful with driving us to where we need to go after check out. Would def recommend to make arrangements with ArimaOnsen to pick up the station, since the place is located on a hill.
