"We"ve been visiting Arima-onsen and Hanamusubi for several times already and this town and ryokan is always special to us. We always feel home at this ryokan by the friendly, polite and professional staff. Our favorite room with our own private onsen is just amazing and has all the amenities we need for our short stays. To really enjoy the town, the onsen water and this ryokan, highly suggest to stay at least two days to enjoy different kind of breakfasts and dinners served. Thank you to the...

"a great onsen place with lots to offer. Many different types of onsen as well. Love the experience. Will come back for sure. The only thing you have to watch out for is. Take the shuttle bus and try not to walk up the really steep hill to the hotel. It is definitely some cardio exercise. But, if you take the shuttle bus, which is very convenient, you will save yourself some harsh exercise. "
