Hot Spring Hotels in Kobe

This hotel is, without a doubt, one of the most stunning I've ever stayed in. It beautifully blends historical charm with aesthetic appeal; every corner has its own unique style. The hot springs were also amazing, and the service was top-notch. We booked the dinner set menu, which was delicious and felt very ceremonial. Plus, there was a lovely staff member who spoke Chinese, had a beautiful smile, and a generous personality. It was truly an enjoyable meal and a memorable, healing experience.

We had great time spending at the hotel, amazing service by the hotel team. The Hotel has free shuttle to pick up from the station, or when you need drop off to the Arima town area. We had a wonderful time with the gold and silver onsen at the hotel, all private onsen require booking at the hotel ( with App or directly at the frontdesk) they will be happily to help. We booked a room with private hot spring with fireplace, the room is amazing with whole complimentary mini bar, so convenient that we can always relax in room. We always go to lobby to grab some refreshment after our onsen session to “cool-down” get some juice , or coffee and ice cream. We feel so relaxing the whole time staying at the hotel. We will definitely go back again .

Food was great and Eri-san was very friendly and helpful. The room was really clean and love the private onsen with amazing view. I love how attentive Eri-san was as well, the timing in which the next meal came was impeccable, allowing me to enjoy the food thoroughly. Other ryokans I have stayed before (despite being more expensive), the breaks between the food served was very short and it felt like I was rushing to eat. The outdoor hotspring bath was great and perfect for people who cannot stand too high temperatures. Unfortunately, when we wanted to dip in Gekkoen's more traditional and older outdoor hotspring, it was being cleaned. Would love to try dipping in it the next time we visit again.

We stayed at Negiya Ryofukaku in Arima Onsen during the maple leaf season, opting for the West Wing's deluxe Japanese-Western mixed room with a mountain view. The hotel staff were incredibly attentive and thoughtful, making us feel truly comfortable. Looking out the window, the mountain was ablaze with vibrant red maple leaves, like a flowing oil painting—the scenery far exceeded our expectations. Upon check-out, the hotel even thoughtfully arranged a car to take us to Arima Station, which was incredibly convenient.

This is a well-established Arima Onsen hotel, and everything from the service, location, meals, and hot springs is excellent. Their Kinsen (Golden Spring) onsen, in particular, is said to have healing properties for conditions like arthritis. The meals are exceptionally good, especially the wagyu beef. The staff are warm, welcoming, and polite. It's a fantastic choice for anyone who loves hot spring travel!

Very traditional Japanese onsen hotel with high quality onsen water from golden soup. Spacious room with private onsen, nice view and privacy. Very delicious meals. Helpful and heartwarming staff. Recommended for couples and families.

Accommodation is super convenient- comes with different types of sauna and onsen, and restaurants inside the hotel! The staff will set up futon in our room- affordable option for those who are looking for a ryokan experience. We also love the hotel breakfast! Feels v well nourished after that, esp after soaking in the onsen :) we also love the matcha senbei crackers that the hotel gave us and bought them at the souvenir store too. Highly recommend!

Extremely Perfect and Excellent. Location, hygienes, room, private onsen, public onsen, dinner, breakfast, and the staff, everything was in place perfectly. Deserve to get 5 stars rating resort.

In addition to free drinks, juice and coffee, red wine and white wine are provided every afternoon, allowing guests to soak in the hot spring bath to relax their body, mind and soul and enjoy a leisurely and carefree travel experience.

Good overall. Parking is available, which is very convenient if you're driving. If you're walking, expect an uphill climb. The onsen is great. They even waited up for us when we arrived quite late at night. The price is reasonable, making it one of the best value-for-money hotels in Arima.
