Ryokans in Kobe

We stayed here for 2 nights, enjoyed every second of it, staff are extremely helpful, they came and pick us up af Arima Onsen station, arrived within 5 minutes of the call, staff welcomed us in the hotel with some small snack and cold tea, whilst the receptionist were explaining everything to us, our luggages were carried to our room. We booked our first private bath, extremely comfortable and private. There are public bathing as well, dinner and breakfast are also served in private dining...

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Tocen Goshoboh yesterday and would highly recommend it! We arrived around 2:20 PM, which was over 30 minutes before the official check-in time, but the hotel kindly let us check in early. We booked the Japanese-Style Standard Room with No Shower Room, including breakfast for two, at a very reasonable price of AUD 500. This traditional ryokan has an incredible 800-year history, and you can truly feel the depth of culture in every detail of its design and...

Loved my 1st onsen experience. Staff were hugely welcoming, excellent layout of hotel. Loved the Japanese traditional tatami & futon bedroom, complimentary snacks and daily green tea & sweet experience. The 3 onsens where excellent, clean & offered a huge range of toiletries to use. The traditional in room multiple course dinner was amazing with Kobe beef! I would definitely visit again!

We stayed at this hotel for the final 2 nights of our trip before returning to Australia and we absolutely loved it. The facilities were fantastic, very clean and well looked after. The service was excellent and the room was huge, clean and very well equipped. I have to mention the food, oh my goodness the food was incredible! There was so much to chose from and you could go back as many times as you liked. Yes it is buffet style but as with a lot of places in Japan there were also some chef...

We had a great experience in this hotel. The front desk staff came out from the lobby to give us a warm welcome. He also took us to our room, showed us the hotel facilities and introduced the dinner and breakfast arrangement. Dinner was kaiseki style and it was served in our room. The lady who served our dinner was attentive. She also made our bed after dinner. Breakfast was traditonal style and it was served in the breakfast room. Onsens were quite nice as well and not very crowded. They...

Nice little Ryokan. We had a room with private onsen and its spacious and clean. Staff were very helpful.

the hotel provides shuttle bus service which is convenient, fair bit of walk from the hotel to the main street but you won't mind if the weather is good. Dinner is served in your room. if you're not in those rooms with private hot spa you can book yourself one with additional charge but reasonable. staffs are friendly. like the message chair in the room.

Great place with friendly helpful staff. Not a lot of English spoken but that's okay. Close to Arima's waterfall and ropeway. Nice hotspring baths including an outdoor bath. Wonderful food and drink - try the Suzune sparkling sake, it matches well with the food.

Amazing, worth every penny. Definitely ask for the free bus to get there though as the walk from the train station is all uphill

Enjoyed the facilities (including the use of the larger sister resort). Brilliant meals. However, we lost a pair of earrings that was placed inside a cupboard and we discovered missing when packing up.

Lovely onsen hotel. Staff is friendly. Meals are decent. Has it's own onsen inside the hotel building. It's a bit dated. My room doesn't have bathroom only toilet. But it's enough.

Our stay was one of the highlights of our time in Japan. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, refined, and thoughtfully designed — a perfect contrast to the busy pace of travel. The property itself is beautifully maintained, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern comfort. Our room was spacious, spotless, and incredibly peaceful, with a layout that made it easy to relax as a family. Traveling with a young child, we especially appreciated how accommodating and welcoming...
