Located at the northern foothills of the lush Rokko Mountain, Arima Onsen. The clear streams emerging from deep valleys reflect the greenery and autumn leaves of the changing seasons, blending with the charm of the Onsen. The stone walls and sloping streets evoke the history and romance of a town that has flourished since ancient times, as recorded in the Nihon Shoki. Among them, our establishment, once known as "Kita no Bo," was bestowed the name "Hyoe" by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and we welcome you with the utmost hospitality preserved and passed down through the ages.

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.

At the foot of Mount Rokko lies Arima Onsen, said to be the oldest in Japan. The kunugi tree, with its budding, fresh green, autumn leaves, and bare branches, may symbolize the joys of the seasons. Two golden hot springs with different mineral compositions and a radon-rich silver spring spread out as if hidden within the forest. Enjoy moments of relaxation, rest, and conversation amidst the natural hot springs and serene environment.

We not only provide detailed information about the cuisine but also offer an experience to savor with your eyes, ears, and palate. We deliver a live sensation that cannot be experienced elsewhere. Enjoy the culinary creations of the award-winning chef, Tadamichi Ota, including our signature dishes such as the "Cotton Rain" Sukiyaki and the "Sea of Clouds" Hot Pot, which captivate all five senses with their exquisite flavors. Our Property features two types of natural hot springs: "Golden Onsen" and "Private Source Onsen." There are two large communal baths, private baths exclusively for the annex, and open-air baths in every guest room of the main building. It is rare to find a Property where you can enjoy the famous "Golden Onsen" in a private open-air bath attached to your room, and even rarer to find one where you can enjoy a scenic view from the bath. Take advantage of our location, away from the hustle and bustle of the Onsen town, and indulge in a luxurious moment as you listen to the chirping of birds, the murmuring of the river, and admire the seasonal beauty of the surrounding mountains.

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.

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.
