All the staff is so kind even with the language barrier (I would make sure you have service to use your translator as well) There are onsens on property. Man and women rotate for the actual outside onsen (it’s the one on the left). They also have a private onsen that they’ll drive you to ( we requested it ahead of time) it was $20 a person that was charged at the end of the stay. It’s a small hotel so there was only one other woman in the onsen when my friend and I went in.

As a foreigner make sure you brush up on ryokan expectations because there was a language barrier we were left in the dark a bit on when/where to wear the slippers they provide. What and how to do the onsen process. We had researched ahead of time so we were okay but for other foreigners make sure you do your research ahead of time. They have the traditional Tanani mats to sleep on at night. The futon is thin so be prepared to not have the best nights sleep but such a cool experience

We truly had a wonderful stay here. The staff were incredibly accommodating and they were able to prepare completely vegetarian meals for me, which were excellent. My friend, who had the regular meals, said the dinner was the best meal he ever had! It's nestled away outside the town center which provided a really peaceful atmosphere. It's worth the uphill walk to get there. You can fall asleep to the sounds of flowing water from the nearby stream. The bathing facilities were small but excellent. It's a small ryokan so there aren't many guests using the facilities at any given time. I had the baths to myself all morning. Definitely recommended! Staying here was a highlight of our trip.

The uphill walk to get there with our particularly heavy luggage was not fun but it was worth it, especially with the empty onsen waiting for us upon our arrival.

The inn was very well kept and maintained. Although the inn itself is on the older side, the furniture and decor is very traditional and is cared after. The inn is very cozy and comfortable, along with the onsen being in incredible shape. This is a very nice stay for a night as the onsen is essentially private with very few other guests sharing at once. The dinner and breakfast service was incredible. With a traditional japanese breakfast and dinner, we were very well taken care of in terms of food. Sleeping arrangements were excellent as well, with service to lay down and put away the futons. Staff was beyond excellent and although we did not speak a lot of japanese, they still understood us and provided excellent service. In addition to our stay, we forgot some clothes in the closet and the inn offered to send them back to us before we leave japan. Excellent service.

Some of the furniture and carpet, although well maintained, can tell that it is getting up there in terms of age. Cracks in the leather in the couches as well as stains due to the age of the carpet can be seen. Aside from these two things, everything else was excellent.

My stay was exceptional, with luxurious amenities, a serene onsen, and a kaiseki meal that was an unforgettable culinary journey. The kaiseki dinner was the highlight, with each dish masterfully crafted to showcase seasonal ingredients. The outdoor onsen was also a wonderful experience, especially in the cool evening air. The location was peaceful and scenic, perfect for a relaxing stay.

The onsen could have been better equipped with basic amenities like lotion and hairdryers, which were missing. Also, the entrance to the parking lot was quite narrow and tricky to navigate.

Was a very beautiful and old Japanese style property, with a beautiful garden and a traditional room. The Japanese kaiseki meal was excellent, the staff were excellent and the outdoor pool was very nice.

There was no heat in the toilet or shower, though they did provide a portable heater for shower, but toilet area was cold. If you are not used to sleeping on a tatami, or have mobility issues, you might have trouble with the sleeping arrangement. We were comfortable enough.

Lovely little hotel in Arima onsen. We chose the hotel because of the view from the room, and it did not disappoint. The fall foliage view from the room was breathtaking. The food was also great, both dinner and breakfast. The staffs were also incredibly nice and helpful. Since it's a small hotel, they treated us with great care and attention.

The hotel is quite small, so it lacks the facilities of big hotels. The onsen area is also small. Not really an issue if you enjoy the peace and quite.

This was a taste of old school japanese luxury. We were treated like royalty and the food was amazing. I never expected to have a multi course tasting menu served to us privately in our room. Same for breakfast. The staff were excellent and picked us up and dropped us off at the station. Great place.

The onsen kept changing from male to female as one side was nicer than the other. Missus missed out.... but that was minor compared to experience

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 best experience my husband and I had. We recommend Hashinoya Bekkan Ransui as a place to get away from the city and relax. The space was breathtaking, they had amazing service, the onsen was gorgeous, and the food was oishii! 10/10

Everything was perfect!!! We have no complaints.

The overall traditional experience, but I have to mention as the biggest highlight the dinner and breakfast also in the local style. It was delicious and served piece by piece directly to our room. And there's also a private onsen which we got to enjoy together 😊
