Arima Onsen Tocen Goshobo
651-1401 Hyogo, Kobe, Kita-ku Arima-cho 858 , Japan – Excellent location – show map
A 800 year old traditional Ryokan with amazing mineral spring bath onsen. The futon beds were lush and comfy, the room was very large and the dinner and breakfasts were exceptionally delicious. The building was well made and very well kept up. The staff was gracious and went every extra mile to be the best hosts. So glad we stayed here on our first trip to Japan.

Founded in the 12th century and beloved by Junichiro Tanizaki and other Japanese novelists, Tosen Goshobo is the oldest of the hot-spring inns at Arima. Standing beside the Taki River, it features outdoor hot-spring baths and traditional in-room meals and is a 5-minute walk from Arima Onsen Train Station. The Japanese rooms have traditional futon bedding and a mini-bar. The 20 rooms at Arima Onsen Tosen Goshobo include tatami (woven-straw) floors and shoji paper screens. Guests can relax at the seating area and enjoy the zen atmosphere with a cup of green tea. Bathing facilities are shared. Right next to the Hankyu Highway Bus station, the ryokan is a 3-minute walk from the Arima Toys and Automata Museum. Zuihoji Park is 2953 feet away. Shin-Kobe Shinkansen Station is a 30-minute train ride. Breakfast is Japanese-style with black-bean tofu, and dinner features specialties such as Kobe beef, fresh fish from Akashi-Ura port.
