[2025 Kobe Hotels] Travel Guide for Arima Onsen Gekkoen Yugetsusanso (Updated Jun)

📍Address: 318 Arimacho, Kita Ward, Kobe, Hyogo 651-1401, Japan ⏰️Check-in: 3:00 PM Check-out: 12:00 PM 💛This was the accommodation I used during my Kobe ryokan trip! The hotel offers two types of rooms: traditional Japanese-style ryokan rooms and resort-style ryokan rooms. The resort-style rooms seem to be equipped with beds. I opted for the traditional Japanese-style ryokan with tatami flooring, and I was very satisfied :) I stayed with three friends, making a total of four people, and the room was incredibly spacious. There was even a massage chair positioned to enjoy the scenic view, which was a delightful touch. I used the massage chair whenever I had free time during my one-night stay, and it was a truly relaxing experience. In the traditional ryokan, the staff neatly prepare the bedding in the evening and tidy up in the morning while serving breakfast. The mountain view from the room was picturesque and serene^^

📍Kobe Arima Hot Springs: • Located in the mountains of Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, only one hour by train from Kyoto, Osaka, or Kobe. • One of the three oldest hot springs in Japan, personally visited and used by emperors and nobles. • Two types of hot spring water: gold and silver. Gold water is red and has a slightly rusty taste, which is beneficial for skin and blood circulation. Silver water is transparent and helps to relieve nerve fatigue and improve the respiratory system. - 🏯Arima Onsen Moonlight Garden ♨️Unlike hot springs with circulating water, Moonlight Garden is one of the few hot spring hotels with flowing water (natural flow). ∎ The two hotels under Moonlight Garden are high-end hot spring hotels, known for their ultimate hot spring experience and exquisite Japanese cuisine. - 🌸Moonlight Garden Yuzuki Sanso VS Moonlight Garden Hinoakari • Hinoakari: Modern Japanese design style, more rooms with private hot springs, more suitable for guests who pursue privacy • Yuzuki Sanso: Built earlier, more traditional Japanese design, three-story wooden building without elevator, more active social atmosphere, suitable for families and groups 🍱Both hotels offer exquisite breakfast and dinner, including Kobe beef, fresh seafood from Hyogo Prefecture, vegetables grown in Hyogo Prefecture, and "Hinohikari" rice - 💰Day trip package (one-day trip) ∎17:30/19:30 two times ∎90-minute buffet dinner ∎16:00–22:00 access to hot spring pools ∎Free for children under 2 years old 💰Accommodation and hot spring package ∎One night in a Japanese-style room ∎Free pick-up and drop-off service near Arima Onsen Station 💰One-night and two-meal package ∎One night in a Japanese-style room ∎Daily exquisite Japanese breakfast and dinner ∎Free pick-up and drop-off service near Arima Onsen Station

Quiet environment, hot spring ♨️ good, good service attitude! But the quality of the food is average, although personal taste is hard to say, but the food is not just tasteless, tea bowl steamed is cold! May not stay in this hotel again🙃! If anyone else wants to stay, you really need to prepare more food up there, what a countryside place!

Hyogo 🇯🇵 Arima Onsen ♨️ The hot spring is golden in color 💛✨ and makes your skin smooth ✌︎ It's a little cold in winter, but I recommend the open-air bath across the river 🥰 They offer a complimentary drink in the lobby lounge 🍺. It's lit up at night, and the atmosphere is great ✨ You can also enjoy Kobe beef for dinner 🤤🤍 #TravelingWithMe #HyogoPrefecture #HotSpring #Ryokan #ArimaOnsen Address: 318 Arima-cho, Kita-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 651-1401 It's a little far from the station, so they also offer a shuttle service to the ryokan ✨

Everything is full of Japanese charm at Gekkoen Yugetsu Sanso, a rustic Japanese-style inn. This wooden structure has a rich atmosphere with hot spring baths sourced from streams, a stream flowing naturally between the lobby and the cottages, and rooms on the other side of the Moonlight Bridge. Gekkoen Yugetsu Sanso is in a great location, with each room offering a vast and magnificent view of the Fallen Leaves Mountains, and the entire inn, including the lobby and bathrooms, offers a magnificent view. The inn offers multiple hot spring baths of different styles, so you can enjoy the Arima Onsen waters from the source! The open-air hot spring baths "Afu-no-Yu" and "Tamahachi-no-Yu" along the Takigawa River are named after the natural source hot springs of the "Yusen Shrine" and "Koho-no-Kami" of Arima Onsen. Please note that this three-story wooden building does not have an elevator, so it may be difficult for guests with wheelchairs or strollers. If you need this, please consider our partner hotel Gekkoen Daikurakan, which has been awarded the Silver Star certification for "Senior-Friendly". #GlobalTravel
