I was a little uneasy because the Reviews were mixed, but after staying here, I’m truly glad I chose this Accommodation. The Room had an open-air bath, and it felt very clean with a great view. I was also able to use the baths at the affiliated Hotel (Yuzuki Sanso), but personally I preferred the baths at Korokan.All of the meals were delicious, and the staff provided thoughtful service, making my stay very comfortable. If I visit Arima again, I would definitely like to stay here again.
aya_kai 7/28/2026This was our first stay here on a family trip for the first time in over 10 years. The Room was spacious and even had a massage chair—wonderful. The scent of the tatami was soothing, and we were able to relax. The Onsen was also excellent. The meals were delicious. We were very satisfied. We also appreciated the courteous service. It made for a truly fulfilling trip, and we would love to stay again if we have the chance.
