    Nice place, not on the Main Street and behind shops, initially a little concern with safety, but it turns out ok . They provided a voucher for the public bath which is excellent. We went back to the bath on the next day .

    Very cute and quiet place to stay. Very central to Arima, so close to everything. You get free tickets to Gin no yu or Kin no yu onsen, which was a nice surprise! Breakfast was very nice too!

    The entire stay was wonderful and quite affordable for a ryokan that includes two meals. There was a small misunderstanding with dinner so everyone ended up with vegetarian meals but it was so delicious. The little garden out front was well...
