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.

  • From the moment we arrived, your attentive yet warmly familiar hospitality was perfectly balanced. The entire property was kept impeccably clean and well maintained. The furnishings, interior design, fragrance, and tableware— everything reflected consistently high-quality service throughout. We were able to completely switch off from work during our stay and felt truly refreshed. Thank you very much. We would love to visit again as a special treat for ourselves.

  • The bright, clean Room was in an Onsen town surrounded by soothing greenery, and we were able to relax and take our time. We stay at various Hotels, but our stay here was truly relaxing both physically and mentally. Time for healing is precious, and we felt it was thanks to the staff’s careful and attentive work. The bath was wonderful, and the meals were absolutely delicious. Thank you for a lovely time.
