Arima Hot Spring Ryokan Hanamusubi

Good and valuable Ryokan experience, they provide shutter services too. Staff are friendly but they do not provide services after 9pm. Did not manage to ask for extra pillow as the front desk are closed in the night. The coffee and drink at the lounge are close at night too. Overall a good experience and worth the price.

This hot spring hotel is perfect, their service is excellent. My family and I have a really good experience in here and we all enjoy the special hot spring provided, though there is one thing to remind all of you, bring your towels from your room before going to onsen coz no towels will be provided in the onsen

Didn't realized it will be on top of a hill. We got delayed on our train from Kansai, hence arrived a bit late to Arima, tried to call for shuttle but was unsuccessful hence we run up the hill which we thought was just a small distance, but it was much, we've finally arrived to the hotel at 7:30pm a bit earlier than their published latest check in time of 8:00pm. We were told dinner won't be serve after 7pm, we rushed all the way for nothing. They should have also published that on the website to avoid people like us planning a trip to Arima to experience aside from the onsen but also for the traditional Japanese meals. Anyway, after negotiation they did served us the dinner and it was tasty and sumptuous. Aside from the small issue about the dinner, this place is clean & quiet, staffs were very nice and attentive, the onsen are relaxing and we got a very good night sleep. Will still recommend this hotel, but remember to tell them about your arrival time and book the shuttle bus.
