Refined tranquility begins in the lobby. A hidden retreat for adults to enjoy the renowned hot springs of Arima.

The beauty of the earth, the beauty of the ceiling, the beauty of the heart. Encounter the four seasons, encounter people. The moment when nature and people, heart and heart become one. "Nakanobo Zuien," a long-established Ryokan in Arima Onsen, offers meticulous hospitality.

  • We stayed here for a pre-baby trip.The property was very clean, and the guidance from check-in to our Room was consistently courteous. We were able to spend our time comfortably from start to finish.Since I was pregnant, I had some dietary restrictions and ingredients I couldn’t eat, so we made several requests. They kindly accommodated everything thoroughly, which we truly appreciated. Every dish was delicious, and we were very satisfied.The Onsen was also wonderful, and we were able to relax and unwind at a leisurely pace. We are really glad we chose this place for our pre-baby trip.It’s unfortunate that due to the age restriction we won’t be able to visit for a while after the baby is born, but we plan to recommend it to our parents and friends.We look forward to the day when we can visit again as a family.

  • Thank you very much for your hospitality. Thanks to the warm and attentive service from all the staff, I had a comfortable stay throughout. In particular, the smile and thoughtfulness of the person at the large public bath reception were wonderful and left a lasting impression. It was a lovely Accommodation where I would definitely like to stay again.Thank you very much.

    From July 13, we will offer a summer-only low-temperature Kin-sen (golden hot spring) at around 36°C.

    Unlike our usual hotter baths, its gentle, near-body temperature helps prevent overheating and is ideal for longer soaks.

    Enjoy this soothing Kin-sen to refresh your body after the summer heat.

    Location: Open-air bath at the large public bath “Zuisen”
    Period: July 13, 2:00 PM – September 15, 12:00 PM
