"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!"

"The room is very clean and comfortable. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. The location is very good, central to the shopping street and just steps away from the bus terminal. Overall, delighted to their services and hospitality provided. "

"Beautiful stay great amenity’s "

"Amazing. The service is above expectation. I've been coming here for more than six years because the entire experience is phenomenal--everything from the meal, to the rooms, to the service and the onsen/hot spring is very soothing."

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. Ms Izumi provided detailed instructions during the check-in procedure. The onsen facilities were excellent - exactly what we needed to relax and enjoy the amazing surroundings. The kaiseki dinner on the 1st night and the Kobe beef on the 2nd night were excellent. We would definitely return to stay."

"Nice and quaint ryokan with free shuttle service. The tourist information centre can help to contact them for you when you arrive. We booked the only room with an outdoor onsen and bathroom as we were travelling with a toddler. All other rooms don’t have any private toilets. Dinner was amazing and served at sister ryokan 5 minutes walk away. Breakfast was served downstairs. The staff were always smiling and ready to help. Very friendly and welcoming ambiance. Only complaints — room aircon, air purifier/humidifier and fridge were quite noisy throughout the night; some stains on the pillow case; toilet wasn’t well ventilated. "
