The price is high, but you can expect a lot. The hotel rooms were great. You could choose if you prefer to sleep in big comfy western beds or prefered a Japanese futon instead (there were two rooms, so enough space to get the futons out). Maybe prepare a bit in advance, so that you know what´s going on, because the English introduction at reception is a bit shorter than the Japanese one, but the staff is always really helpful and can answer your questions. Breakfast and diner were both included and were fantastic. The sushi cook in the evening was so helpful and we tried 2-3 different sort of fish we never had before. And all the other dishes were great, too. Don´t forget to stop in time, so that there is still room for dessert ;o) The onsen on the roof is wonderful. You have an excellent night view and can see the beautiful harbour area. There is an onsen for women and one for men. First there is a big room where you undress and put your clothes in little baskets. Then there is a shower room followed by a pool, a whirlpool and the lovely onsen. And if you want to spend around 200 Yen extra, don´t forget to visit the room with the massage chairs. They are amazing.

I enjoyed my stay here so much; the service was top tier! Being a 5 star place, it’s a bit on the pricier side, but I completely understand - you get what you pay for, and that is definitely a 5 star stay. Friendly and accommodating staff, with a free shuttle service for all their guests. The private hot springs were so relaxing and I liked how the booking system for them worked. I don’t think they have small rooms? I was one person, yet the room I got was basically the size of an apartment, with the mountain directly outside my window. My room had a futon mattress, which was made at a time of my choosing (between 6pm and 8pm), and I actually liked sleeping on it. Overall, I loved my experience here, would come back one day!

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They kindly informed us about the Arima-Rokko ropeway shutdown times when we mentioned we were going there late in the day and organised a shuttle bus to drop/pickup from the station. They also had 2 private onsen that didn’t require additional fee or booking to use. The food was prepared with care and was truly delicious.

    The ryokan is small, it has only a few rooms, so you can feel private there. The food was beyond great, tasty and the portions were large. The onsen was clean, with a great outdoor pool. Since the hotel is small, you had complete privacy in the onsen. The service was top notch. The ladies took care of us like their own members of the family. I recommend this place.

    The outdoor private onsens were amazing. Booking them was easy and there was always availability. It's really not necessary to get the in-room onsen. The yukata and japanese pj's which were provided were also great quality. I now regret not buying some :) There are some great hiking trails and a hilltop shrine near the hotel, which are very quiet and secluded.
