A luxury Ryokan featuring private open-air baths with Arima's famous "Golden Hot Spring" in all six rooms.

Since its opening in 2002, this Ryokan in Arima has been cherished by many as a Property renowned for its cuisine. The chef believes that a true master chef is one who explains the dishes thoroughly to the guests and brings them joy through the dining experience. This philosophy, considered the essence of culinary art by Tadamichi Ota, gave birth to the concept of "Guest-Front Cooking." To allow guests to enjoy Tadamichi Ota's essence of Guest-Front Cooking up close, the Ryokan has been transformed into a luxurious haven featuring a counter-focused restaurant and six exclusive rooms equipped with private open-air baths with Kinsen hot spring water, emphasizing privacy and comfort. With a thorough evolution in both facilities and hospitality, we invite you to indulge in an even more premium and captivating adult retreat.

  • I stay here every time because I always look forward to the meals.This time, they had my favorite fugu dishes, so I made a Reservation right away.From fugu hot pot (tecchiri) to grilled fugu and fried fugu, and finishing with rice porridge—everything was delicious.Thank you for the chef’s thoughtful hospitality.

  • Arima Onsen is expensive, isn’t it?Without IKYU discounts, it was about 250,000 yen. Other Ryokan also cost around 200,000 yen for a nice Room, so compared with other Onsen areas, the pricing feels quite high.If you’re driving, please be careful—the roads are very narrow, and there were signs of scraping.The Room was spacious and relaxing, but since there’s a large TV in the living area, we didn’t use the theater room.There were so many snacks and drinks that we couldn’t finish them all.There is no large public bath—only the in-room bath and an open-air bath with Kin-sen. The open-air bath was spacious, and we could soak at leisure while having a drink.It was a very nice Ryokan, but even so, the price still feels high.
