"綺麗でした!"

"Staff are helpful and they have pickup and drop off service."

"Quiet and conveniently located right off the bus station. Excellent dinner. Breakfast is so so. "

"Nice hotel, fantastic value. We had what appeared to be an older room, with harder beds where you could feel the springs, but the room was extremely clean and quiet, and the room we had with three beds was actually quite large. "

"Amazing staff and the outdoor onsen was a huge bonus. The facility also had a onsen occupancy status, so you know when it is empty or not crowded and can go then."

"Exceptional experience at this ryokan. Will definitely come back again. Onsen was also amazing and really enjoyed the private aspect of it. 45minute sessions were plenty enough and we were able to get our spots each time we wanted."

"The hotel should give notice to guests at reservation how to take shuttle bus from either bus station or train station to the hotel as the hotel is on a hill."

"Awesome place if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities "

"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!"
