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.

Since its opening in 2002, this Ryokan in Arima has been cherished by many as a Property renowned for its cuisine. The chef believes that a true master chef is one who explains the dishes thoroughly to the guests and brings them joy through the dining experience. This philosophy, considered the essence of culinary art by Tadamichi Ota, gave birth to the concept of "Guest-Front Cooking." To allow guests to enjoy Tadamichi Ota's essence of Guest-Front Cooking up close, the Ryokan has been transformed into a luxurious haven featuring a counter-focused restaurant and six exclusive rooms equipped with private open-air baths with Kinsen hot spring water, emphasizing privacy and comfort. With a thorough evolution in both facilities and hospitality, we invite you to indulge in an even more premium and captivating adult retreat.

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.
