Definitely worth a stay!

Well worth the stay. We got a Japanese style room, so we were sleeping on a mattress on the ground which was an experience all on its own. The dinner in our room was good, I think I would’ve preferred dinner in the little town though. But it was very cool to wear the kimonos and go to the hot springs, this was very relaxing. Be aware that everyone goes into the hot springs without clothes on, but the water felt really nice and the women’s locker room comes with hair brushes, q-tips, hair dryers, and even face wash/toner/lotion. Don’t try to walk up to the hotel from the bus stop, it’s a steep climb, call the hotel and they’ll pick you up. Overall a wonderful stay!

Staff are very friendly. The facilities appear a little old. The air conditioning in the annex room is noisy, so we turned it off while sleeping. Our overall experience is good. Saw people not rinsing before entering the bath tub. Suggest to set up a video facility for education purpose. Currently there is only a small poster on the wall to do this job.

Arima Onsen Motoyu Kosenkaku is known as “La Fontine / The Lodge Arima Resort” in English. The property is located in the outskirts of the main village of Arima and is about 25 minutes on foot up a hill. Travellers with mobility issues may find this property difficult to access unless prior transport is arranged with hotel reception staff. We stayed overnight in a standard Japanese-style room. The room, well-appointed on the top 6th floor, is very spacious and has amazing views of the mountains all dressed.in autumn red-and-gold foliage during our visit. Be aware that bedding configuration is “sleep on the floor laid with tatami mats” and futon that attendants will be setting up neatly for you. Our overnight accommodation included a half board giving us a rare opportunity to spoil our taste buds with authentic Japanese cuisine. The dinner and breakfast meals were served Japanese style by warm and friendly hostesses who were non-judgmental in guiding us through the dining experience. We enjoyed the food and the ritualistic experience. Travelling to Japan, in my view, is not complete without a ryokan experience. To top it all, the onsens are world-class equipped with luxury amenities. We had multiple access to the two hot springs (onsen), Iwa-buro and Hakkaku-do. It was really envigorating and relaxing! If you have the money to spend, this property will deliver a quality experience that is worth every dollar. I recommend it highly!
