Guest Houses in Hyogo Prefecture

"It’s spacious and meticulously clean."

"Arima Onsen Motoyu Kosenkaku is known as “La Fontine / The Lodge Arima Resort” in English. The property is located in the outskirts of the main village of Arima and is about 25 minutes on foot up a hill. Travellers with mobility issues may find this property difficult to access unless prior transport is arranged with hotel reception staff. We stayed overnight in a standard Japanese-style room. The room, well-appointed on the top 6th floor, is very spacious and has amazing views of the mountains all dressed.in autumn red-and-gold foliage during our visit. Be aware that bedding configuration is “sleep on the floor laid with tatami mats” and futon that attendants will be setting up neatly for you. Our overnight accommodation included a half board giving us a rare opportunity to spoil our taste buds with authentic Japanese cuisine. The dinner and breakfast meals were served Japanese style by warm and friendly hostesses who were non-judgmental in guiding us through the dining experience. We enjoyed the food and the ritualistic experience. Travelling to Japan, in my view, is not complete without a ryokan experience. To top it all, the onsens are world-class equipped with luxury amenities. We had multiple access to the two hot springs (onsen), Iwa-buro and Hakkaku-do. It was really envigorating and relaxing! If you have the money to spend, this property will deliver a quality experience that is worth every dollar. I recommend it highly!"

"Everything are perfect!! "

"Nice "

"Enjoyed our brief stay. Suggest morning coffee be available a little earlier than 9 am as we were not able to get coffee at the breakfast area without paying for the entire breakfast buffet."

"just outside of Kobe station, and staff is very friendly, the only thing negative for me is that the breakfast is a bit of costly."

"A wonderful 10 day stay exploring the Kobe, Osaka, Arima regions & Hiroshima . The breakfast buffet is excellent and Emerald Bar for a night cap . Our room was #2019 which is corner room Overlooking the harbor and surrounding areas."
