Since Toyotomi Hideyoshi frequently held tea ceremonies with Sen no Rikyū, Arima Onsen, known as Japan's oldest onsen with a history of 1300 years, has continuously attracted visitors. Located on a hill overlooking the onsen town, Takasansou Kanno quietly stands. It is a property where the harmony of flowers, furnishings, and architecture naturally blends into the heart.

Arima Onsen, one of Japan's oldest hot spring resorts and counted among the three most famous onsen in Japan. During the Meiji era, when Kobe opened its port to foreign trade, many foreigners visited Arima Onsen. They also visited the renowned autumn foliage spot "Kiyomizu-dera," which later became a foreigner-exclusive hotel called "Kiyomizu Hotel." The lush green grounds of "Arima Sanso Goshobessho" still retain the sacred atmosphere of that time. Goshobessho was established by Shirobei Kanai XV, the current head of "Tosen Goshobo," Arima Onsen's oldest accommodation. All 10 suite rooms at Goshobessho are detached and feature private onsen baths and low-temperature saunas known as "Thermal Rooms." One of these suites even includes the world's first treehouse-style open-air bath.

This Ryokan is a traditional Japanese wooden restaurant inn, renovated from a now-rare villa.

Every room features a modern open-air bath with golden Arima hot-spring water, a private sauna, an indoor bath with cold-plunge capability, and a fully equipped kitchen. Designed for complete freedom 24 hours a day, this is functional beauty that lets you stay exactly as you wish—undisturbed by anyone. Each uniquely designed room is adorned with materials and art inspired by the theme of “plants and roots.” Step inside and the noise of everyday life fades away; in the stillness, your senses are set free and mental clutter gently washes away. Drift between Arima’s hot springs and the sauna, quietly realign your inner self, and savor a one-of-a-kind experience.

In the heart of Arima Onsen, tucked away in a back alley where the sounds of geisha's shamisen can be heard, lies a small Property. During the late Edo period, Arima Onsen was bustling with "small inns" that had shops selling souvenirs, brushes, and bamboo crafts on the first floor and accommodations for travelers on the second floor. It was said to be so lively that it was known as "Arima Senken." Experience a unique journey reminiscent of those times at our charming small Property.
