5-star ryokan with private treehouse onsen and 15th-generation culinary expertise in Arima Onsen

Private Onsen & Wellness

Arimasansoh Goshobessho offers a unique treehouse-style private onsen bath called 'Corvo de Ouro', filled with the gold hot spring water Arima is known for. Guests can also reserve the public onsen for private use, or enjoy the dry sauna and hot tub in their own villa. The hotel provides custom wellness services, body treatments, facial treatments, and spa/wellness packages, all with direct access to natural hot springs.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves creative Japanese kaiseki cuisine crafted by the 15th generation of the hotel's culinary family, using seasonal farm-to-table ingredients. Arimasansoh Goshobessho sources fresh seafood directly from the Akashiura fishing port, one of Japan's best fishing ports, to ensure authentic Yamaga mountain cuisine. Guests can also order special diet menus and wine/champagne, but note that dinner reservations must be made at least 3 days prior to the stay.

Room Accommodations

The property features maisonette-style rooms and a Premium Room with its own wooden bath fed by the golden hot spring water, plus a private sauna. These accommodations include heated floors, a balcony, and high ceilings with natural wood decor, though some rooms have dark interiors. The hotel also provides a dedicated outdoor moving walkway (conveyor belt) to transport guests up and down the hill to their rooms, though it has a known safety risk.

Location & Nearby Attractions

Arimasansoh Goshobessho is located 14 miles from Itami Airport, next to a river in the ancient Arima Onsen district, offering views of Ochibayama. Within walking distance are Onsen-ji Temple, Arima River Kasen Shinsui Park, and Tsutsumigataki Waterfall. The hotel runs a shuttle (shared with sister ryokan Tocen Goshoboh) to take guests up and down the steep hill to the bustling town center.

Services & Facilities

The hotel offers free off-site private parking, electric vehicle charging stations, and valet parking for guests arriving by car. Additional amenities include a coffee house on site, a library salon with complimentary post-bath drinks, and meeting/banquet facilities with fax/photocopying services. Concierge service, luggage storage, daily housekeeping, and a 24-hour front desk with CCTV security are provided to ensure a smooth stay.
