Arima Onsen Taketoritei Maruyama

The hot springs are absolutely amazing, each one is a private bath, and both the environment and privacy are excellent, and booking is convenient. This time we booked rooms 311 and 312. The rooms are very spacious, and the beds are huge, but the mattress was too soft, and the pillows didn't offer any neck support, so I woke up with a stiff neck. We had both a Japanese and a Western breakfast, both were substantial and varied! However, when checking in, I wasn't told where to eat, and I thought it would be delivered to the room, so I waited for a long time.

The lobby coffee bar has great décor and attention to detail. The room was spacious! After soaking in the silver hot springs, I slept incredibly well. As someone with severe insomnia, I fell asleep the moment I hit the bed and slept soundly through the night without any dreams! Sleeping from 1 AM to 8 AM felt like such a luxury! This alone deserves a high rating (I soaked once before dinner and once before bed). Anyone who experiences stress, frequent dreams, and insomnia should definitely try the hot springs! Smooth skin is a bonus, but the important thing is the good sleep 💤

Arrived early in the morning, and the front desk staff was very welcoming. There's a shuttle service to and from the city center, which was very timely and convenient. The room decor was also excellent, and there was a great variety of hot springs to choose from, with a fantastic atmosphere. It would be perfect if early check-in were possible next time.

An absolutely wonderful stay! Both the indoor and outdoor private onsens were fantastic and exceptionally clean. The room layout was very well-designed and comfortable. It truly lived up to its reputation. Highly recommend if you're looking for accommodation in Arima Onsen.

The hot spring was nice, but the price was really steep – over 2300 for one night. It was almost expiring, yet the price was even better than what I'd booked before. Local Japanese people pay only 800 yen for the hot spring. I went because a blogger recommended it, but honestly, not many of those Xiaohongshu bloggers are reliable.

The hotel offers private hot springs, and guests can book a time slot after check-in. There are both indoor and outdoor options, with four types each, ensuring excellent privacy. This is a great alternative for those who might feel uncomfortable using public hot spring pools. Some rooms also have their own private hot springs, but these are all "silver springs"; if you wish to experience a "golden spring," you need to make a reservation. The hot spring environment is clean and hygienic, and the facilities are comprehensive. The shower rooms are spotless. The front desk staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel also provides a dedicated shuttle service; simply inform the front desk where you'd like to go, and you can also call them to pick you up and bring you back to the hotel after you're done exploring. Highly recommended!

An absolutely wonderful Japanese inn! We stayed at the W Hotel in Osaka, but my kids preferred this place. Booking the hot springs was easy, and breakfast was plentiful. I accidentally left my pajamas when checking out, and the inn even mailed them to me in China with incredibly fast shipping. The service was top-notch! This was an outstanding stay. If I ever go back, I'll definitely choose this inn again.

Excellent service! Everything is very clean, and the staff are all incredibly thoughtful and attentive. They helped with our luggage, and the onsen (hot spring) is reservation-based, providing plenty of private space.

My first negative review for a Black Diamond property, and I'm truly disappointed. I found a huge cockroach in my room, which made me scream in the middle of the night and then forced me to get up and hunt for it. The hot spring was covered in cobwebs, making it impossible to relax and enjoy. For over four thousand a night, the cleanliness was awful and the value for money was extremely poor. I do not recommend staying here!
