"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!"

" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Staying at this ryokan was an incredible experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like a valued guest, providing warm and attentive service. The traditional tatami room was immaculate, with beautiful decor that created a peaceful atmosphere and views overlooking the mountain landscape. The highlight was undoubtedly the onsen—spending time in the hot springs, surrounded by nature, was incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating. The ryokan’s attention to detail, from the thoughtful amenities to the calming ambiance, made my stay truly special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Japanese retreat!"

"Lovely small ryokan with a nice Onsen. Spacious room with views over the quaint thermal springs village of Arimacho, which was just a short walk down the hill. Gracious, helpful hosts."

"Very nice rooms, was a bit inconvenient to have to call the front every time I wanted to leave and when I returned, but overall, was a great place to stay."

"The best experience ever!! The best Hotel in Japan so far!"
