“Japanese ryokan mixed with modern hotel”

This is basically a Japanese ryokan with beautiful Japanese tatami style rooms. It boasts an onsen with the famous Arima golden soup.

This is basically a Japanese ryokan with beautiful Japanese tatami style rooms. It boasts an onsen with the famous Arima golden soup. Unlike in other traditional onsen ryokans that I've stayed in, breakfast is modern buffet style, while dinner is taken in a restaurant in the hotel, not in your own room. Good was good, though not as lavish as some I've had in other parts of japan. The location is quite a distance from the train station, though still within walking distance, about 20 minutes. However, I wouldn't recommend that you walk to the hotel from the station with a heavy luggage as it is up slope all the way and the way is not so obvious. You can call them and they will come and pick you up, or I suppose you could get the tourist information centre to help you call. I couldn't be bothered and jumped into a taxi straight out of the train station and it cost me 680 yen. However, the hotel is very near to the Arima onsen ropeway station from Mt. Rokko. I spent a morning up Mt Rokko, the scenarios were great and the ride up from Arimaonsen was very enjoyable and scenic. Nobody speaks English here. It wasn't a problem for me but you should probably brush up on your onsen etiquette first because unlike other places such as the ryokans in Kinosaki, this hotel does not provide any instructions for foreigners on onsen etiquette.

“It is not so good as expected”

We stayed at several Ryokans or hotelsin in Arima. Among them it is not bad, but not so good. To tell the truth we always stay at some Ryokan close to this lodging. It is awesome in everything such as the bath, the meals and the service. I feel sorry for comparing here with there. But I can say this lodging is not better than the hotel, although the fare is almost same (probably the hotel is cheaper in price than this lodging. The superior point of this lodging is not to pay cancel fee even on the day of the stay. Most hotels and inns require cancel fee from three days or four days before the stay.
