A secluded luxury ryokan offering a serene retreat in Arima Onsen.
MK Guide Recommends
If this is your first ryokan experience, it may shatter your expectations forever and make it difficult to return to anything ordinary. Arimasansoh Goshobessho offers an intimate retreat of just 10 rooms, set deep in nature and wrapped in an atmosphere that transcends time. The setting feels part African safari lodge, part vintage mountain retreat, part Meiji-era imagination brought forward. This captures the classic idea of vacation, where leisure defines the day and creative thought finds room to breathe, the kind of place where you could disappear and write a novel.
Beyond the famed onsen spa, guests can participate in Zen meditation at nearby temples or walk forest trails that lead to quiet waterfalls and moments of reconnection with nature. The property traces its roots to the Kamakura period, when its predecessor stood directly in front of the original hot spring source, anchoring it in centuries of Arima Onsen tradition. Unique features such as the treehouse Corvo de Ouro, or Golden Crow, deepen the sense of escape and renewal. I look forward to hearing the ideas that are inspired from here.
