For the two who are exhausted from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we recommend an escape to Arima onsen. If you soak in a famous hot spring while surrounded by elegant buildings and rich nature, you will be released from reality and your mind and body will be healed. A quiet and luxurious time with no one to disturb you. From Hideyoshi Toyotomi to Grace Kelly, it's a romantic experience to have the same healing experience in a place that was fascinated by great people.
Arima Onsen is said to be a famous hot onsen in "The Pillow Book" and is said to have healed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's fatigue from the battle. Even men who don't like long baths can't help but take a bath after hearing this story.
Arima onsen has two types of spring water called Kinsen and Ginsen. The reddish-brown Kinsen is said to have a moisturizing effect, which is great for women! The colorless and transparent Ginsen is drinkable and is said to have the effect of stimulating appetite. You can enjoy the food at your destination to your heart's content.
Have you ever come to onsen to take it easy, only to be greedy and exhausted? Arima onsen is a compact onsen town, so you can walk around the attractions in about two hours. Enjoy the feeling of sightseeing in an emotional onsen town, and then relax at the inn to your heart's content. Therefore, we will introduce inns that make you want to stay.
I want to take it easy, but it's not my nature to shut myself up in my room all the time. For such a couple, a large ryokan is recommended. Why don't you take a walk in the spacious hall while feeling the seasons? Also, there are hotels with multiple onsen, lounges, bars, and even table tennis tables! You can enjoy various ways to spend your time.
Nakanobo Zuien is a long-established ryokan that was founded in 1868. It is an inn for adults only, and does not accept guests under the age of 13. The spacious building has a calming atmosphere, and also has a cafe and lounge, so you can spend a quiet and elegant time outside of your room. It is located almost in the center of onsen town, so it is easy to get around for sightseeing.
You can enjoy both Kinsen and Ginsen hot onsen. There are two private baths, one for a fee and one for free, and there are also rooms with open-air baths where you can enjoy Kinsen or Ginsen! For couples who want to spend a luxurious time, we recommend the "VIP Room," "Japanese Modern Deluxe Room with Open-air Kinsen," and "Japanese Room with Open-air Ginsen."
For dinner, you can enjoy rare ingredients and seasonal dishes such as Kobe beef and wild tiger pufferfish. In the "Chef's Room," you can enjoy a luxurious teppanyaki banquet meal, where the chef shows off his skills right in front of you. The dynamic live feeling is the height of luxury! For breakfast the next morning, you can choose between Japanese or Western cuisine. You can also change to brunch depending on your sightseeing plans (please check with the hotel in advance).

I stayed in "Western style twin B". Each piece of furniture was unified with a retro atmosphere, and it was a very nice space. The bath is private, so you can relax without worrying about your surroundings.

A long-established ryokan loved by many great writers and cultural figures, located about 5 minutes on foot from Arima onsen Station. Calligraphy and poems by Junichiro Tanizaki and Eiji Yoshikawa, who were regular guests of the inn, are also displayed in the hall. Once you step into ryokan with a Showa romance, you will feel like you have slipped back in time. It's exciting to be able to experience "real" healing like they did at an inn that was enchanted by great people!
From the retro guest rooms, you can see the Takigawa river that Eiji Yoshikawa wrote about and the cherry blossoms that Akiko Yosano wrote about in her poems. A must-have for couples who love literature! You can also enjoy reading while feeling the history at the library salon. It's refreshing to see such an intelligent way to spend time as an adult.
The biggest feature of this onsen is that it has a large communal bath called a semi-mixed bath. It's nice to be able to share this luxurious space and time with couples. Even those who feel resistance to mixed bathing!? Kinsen's unique reddish brown skin is opaque, so unless you stand up, you won't be able to see it.
The motto for meal is high-quality meal that are not constrained by the glamorous appearance. It reminds me of my original intention to myself who was only concerned about "shine" without knowing it. Focusing on safety and security, let's put effort into growing not only vegetables, but even rice! The “genuine” hospitality cuisine will fill your heart.
