The room is very comfortable, quiet, and clean. The mattress is also very comfortable.
The hotel staff is very friendly. When we arrived, there was no parking space available right in front of the hotel, and the front desk employee went outside in the rain to guide us to another parking spot in the lot across the street.There is a coffee maker available in the lobby for morning coffee.
The hotel is nestled in Meriken Park, offering truly stunning views; the hotel itself is a scenic spot.
The room size and facilities met expectations. I had researched beforehand and booked an East-facing room. I made a mistake when booking and ended up with a non-refundable special offer room, which was slightly smaller. However, the bed faced the balcony, so if you're an early riser, you can actually catch the sunrise from this room.
The only downside is that the hotel might have been open for a while and hasn't been maintained very well. The cleanliness wasn't ideal, especially for Japan. There was a lot of dust on the ceiling directly above the air conditioning vent, which looked a bit messy. I hope the hotel pays more attention to these details.
I had read in guides that it's best to take the shuttle bus or a taxi to the hotel because it's uphill and inconvenient with luggage. However, there's an escalator to the left of the hotel, which is perfectly fine for carrying suitcases. Just be aware that it stops operating after a certain time at night, so keep that in mind when checking in.
Due to a flight delay, we were supposed to arrive at 4 PM, but it got pushed to the evening. We landed quickly, took the airport bus to Sannomiya, and easily found the hotel shuttle pick-up point. We were lucky to catch the 10:30 PM hotel shuttle.
Upon arrival, we also bought some food and drinks at the convenience store on the first floor of the hotel lobby. This is the only convenience store in the vicinity, and it closes at 11 PM.
Overall, the highlight of this hotel is its scenery. You can take your time to fully appreciate the beauty of Kobe Port – it's an experience worth having. The drawback is that it's a bit far from Sannomiya's shopping centers, which can affect your subsequent plans.

The hotel's hygiene and service are excellent. It's conveniently located 100 meters from Dongpu Bus Terminal, making it easy to catch buses to attractions, though do note that bus frequencies are limited, so check the schedule in advance. On the first floor, there's a microwave, oven, and coffee machine available for guests. Right outside the hotel is a beach, but it seems uncleaned with some litter, and at night, the sea outside the window is pitch black. There's also an Aeon supermarket nearby, which is handy for buying food.
The location is fantastic, right above JR, and surprisingly quiet. It's about a 20-minute walk to the Sannomiya transportation hub, and a bit further to Meriken Park, which is perfect for enjoying the sea breeze and night views. The hotel itself also offers great night views. While the facilities are a bit dated, the room is spacious and clean.
This Japanese hotel is truly impressive! The service is meticulous and attentive, and the rooms are clean, cozy, and equipped with modern facilities. The location is convenient, yet quiet and safe. The Japanese breakfast is exquisite and delicious, and the staff are warm and professional. It was a very comfortable and pleasant stay, highly recommended!
Location was walkable, but just far enough to be an ordeal in the snow. It's close to the Aisly mall for a quick good run and lots of restaurant options along the way.
When I tried to check in at the front desk, the older front staff didn't believe that I was at the right hotel and kept doubting me. While he was polite about it, it was irritating after a 3 hr train ride and rough hike through the snowy slush. It appears someone had marked me as already checked in and I had to prove my identity & booking number. While the staff apologized for the mistake, it didn't feel great
Points for a great view from my room though
This is a great family-friendly hotel, featuring both indoor and outdoor playgrounds that are perfect for kids. The breakfast is good and offers a satisfying start to the day.
The hotel is conveniently located right next to Meriken Park, making it ideal for a relaxing stroll or sightseeing. It also provides a shuttle service to and from Sannomiya. Do note that the pick-up and drop-off points are at different locations, and the shuttle bus departs punctually.
The room is spacious, which adds to the overall comfort of the stay.
Wonderful staff. At check in, one staff member rushed over with a car for our luggage. We were sitting for dinner at the table in the lobby and she brought over (without us asking) wine glasses for our wine. They also reminded us that if you scan a qr code and leave a review on checkout, they give you a gift (drinks or snack). It's far from anywhere, but there is a Lawson nearby and we brought in food from the supermarket.
This hotel is located halfway between Osaka and Kobe, a spot most guests wouldn't typically choose as it's inconvenient for both cities. It primarily caters to tour groups from Hong Kong and Taiwan, offering bus transfers to and from Osaka, which makes travel easier for them. It's like visiting Shanghai but having your travel agency book your accommodation in Kunshan to save money.
The hotel is conveniently located, just a five-minute walk from both Koshien Stadium and the JR station. Right downstairs, there's a shopping mall with a large Aeon supermarket on B2, which offers tax-free services and dedicated counters for medicine and gifts. It's super convenient for shopping, closing at 10 PM.
On the 7th floor, there are vending machines, a microwave for heating food, and an ice machine.
The lobby restaurant can get quite crowded during breakfast, so I'd recommend going during off-peak hours. It can be quite overwhelming when a large tour group all comes down at once.
Very Good

Great
Communication with the hotel before arriving in Japan was nearly impossible. Once you are in Japan, if you use a local phone to call the hotel, they can provide information about where they can pick you up if you are traveling by bus. Apart from that, the service and facilities were excellent. The hotel provided a mobile phone that you could use to call them for pick-up at any time and from any location in the Nijigen no Mori area. Breakfast and dinner were delicious.
This hotel is seriously the best! Kazuki San made our trip absolutely amazing. He was so helpful with everything. He is nice and talkative. His family was super friendly too, which made us feel so welcome. We loved every minute of our stay. It truly felt magical, like something out of a dream. Thanks for the gift and photos. This hotel's art gallery is seriously impressive. They've got some amazing pieces on display. And breakfast in the cafe feels great. We can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend this place to everyone!
GGuest UserWonderful stay. Ideal and central location in Kinosakionsen. Great and authentic food, wonderful staff, and rooms large enough to accommodate us and our luggage. Highly recommend the Ryokan
My best stay during my honeymoon trip to Japan. Booked this room because of the private onsen in the room. Inside there are 4 rooms but we're only 2 people 😆 Location a bit secluded, but the provide shuttle so no worries
XXiaoliaozaiciIt's really great. The service, food and rooms are very cost-effective. The Japanese service is meticulous and it has thought of everything you can think of. The kaiseki cuisine is also quite ceremonial. This is not the most expensive hotel I have stayed in in Japan, but it is definitely the most satisfactory one.
A perfect site to eat, drink, play golf and shop in Kobe. It’s close to everything and the views of the Kobe Port are just magnificent. Most important, the hotel is well managed, the rooms are spacious and the breakfast is so richly prepared that you wouldn’t be bored even staying there for one week! Will go back.
I found the rooms surprisingly spacious and comfortable for Japan, easily accommodating my needs with great lighting and bedding. I was impressed by the excellent cleanliness and appreciated the professional, English-speaking staff who helped me with local tips and luggage. While I enjoyed the convenient facilities like the private bath areas and free amenities, I did notice some areas where the hotel could update older fixtures or be more consistent with daily maintenance.
