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.

The "Hotel Kobe Rokko Guesthouse," a newly constructed and elegantly refined property, has been established within the Setonaikai National Park Rokko grounds as an accredited lodging project under the National Natural Park Act, marking its debut after nearly a century. From the New Japan Top 100 Mountains, you can overlook one of Japan's three major nightscapes, with the city of Kobe and the shimmering blue Seto Inland Sea as a backdrop. The natural scenery offers a grand panorama unique to Mount Rokko, where mountains, the city center, and the sea converge, creating a dramatic and expansive view due to the steep elevation differences. Experience the vibrant lights of the city center and feel the harmony they bring. We hope to share the joy of peaceful living with you at the Guesthouse, accompanied by our heartfelt hospitality.
