"Friendly staff. Excellent hospitality. Amazing dinner and breakfast with great quality, combination and plating. Exceptional view from the outdoor facing onsen). Will definitely stay here again if going to Ariman again in the future."

"Beyond my expectations. Ryokans are always going to be older but they kept this place in wonderful shape and it’s super clean. I was blown away by the library lounge — definitely the highlight of the ryokan. Kaiseki dinner was amazing and the staff were superb."

"A short walk away via walkway from Osaka & Umeda stations, it’s in the same building as two department stores and surrounded by more. There are a lot of places to eat as well. I’d definitely stay again when I go back to Osaka."

"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!"

"Great place to relax and enjoy the onsen at the hotel and others in the area."

"Breakfast menu was limited. No salted fish or umeboshi. Smoking room was unpleasant. Wifi did not work well and we had to call front desk multiple times to connect to different room wifi. Location is near station but nearby convenience stores are not great. Elevator is slow."
