Amazing staff(very kind and detailed oriented) and beautifully traditional ryokan that I enjoyed staying here. But the a bit strict about the hours- the entrance door is locked between 12am to 6 am so if you are an avid runner or late night party person, you better not stay here. Also they are quite flexible that they let me to use the library for my business meeting at 5 am in Japanese time(4 pm EST) but there is no business area that you can use at their non working hours(library opens at 8 am) and no gym, no working restaurants unless you order meals in advance. Still, the awesome spa, and nice staff surpassed those inconveniences. Breakfast is divine-must try and their dinners are awesome- it’s just pricey but worth it.

I absolutely loved the traditional Japanese room with the private outdoor bath. While it can only fit one person it’s so relaxing to be out there amongst the bamboo hillside.

The hotel staff here really go above and beyond helping you with baggage, shuttle to the train station, explaining, and giving restaurant recommendations.

The dinner unfortunately was full as I booked somewhat last minute. Some of the town restaurants closed up a little early on Saturday but the recommended izakaya was terrific.

I didn’t need most of the amenities but everything was provided including some tea, coffee, and a kettle that I wanted first thing in the morning.

Just wish I stayed longer to experience more of the town and the onsens.

Overall, the property was clean and well maintained, though the hallways felt a bit dated. The stay itself was comfortable, but communication could have been improved. I had clearly requested a half board plan with both dinner and breakfast, but only dinner was booked. While they did confirm dinner in their message, I wish the breakfast portion had been addressed more clearly to avoid any confusion. It may have been a language barrier, but better clarification would have helped.

It is overall a good stay. Just that for a premium price of 600 USD for 2 nights (breakfast included) for a single person, this place fall slighly below expectation, partly due to lack of shower in room, the fume from burning of incense, lack of facilities such as coin washing machine, in-house cafe, coin washing machine, need to surrender room key to front counter when going out and relatively lesser choice of 2 public baths.

Food was excellent, staff was attentive and helpful, the futon bed was comfy, maples view near breakfast area is great.

This was my first time in Arima and also my first time staying in a traditional Japanese-style room at a ryokan. I had stayed at a different ryokan the night before in a Western-style room, so this stay was a completely new experience. The staff and service were wonderful, and the location of the ryokan was very scenic. I had not included dinner in my booking, but I wish I had. I did rent the private onsen for 45 minutes and was able to enjoy the relaxing effects of Arima’s famous gold and silver waters. The tatami-style room was charming and comfortable, and I would love to return in the future and bring friends with me. Breakfast the next morning, with everyone wearing yukatas, made the experience even more memorable.

You may ask them to send you out or pick you up but we did not use it as we want to walk around the town.

Staying at Negiya Ryofukaku was really pleasant and relaxing. Arima Onsen is a really old town in general so the building's age really shows. However, this didn't affect our stay at all. Here are our main highlights of our stay:
- we booked an overnight trip (after the night we wished we did 2 nights) in the traditional japanese room. The roombecame our favorite. It's incredibly clean, has a great view of Arima Onsen and it was perfect for the two of us.
- when we booked, i didnt realize dinner wasnt included, so upon check-in we requested if we could also include dinner and luckily enough, they still had meals available (i think they only had a certain amount of food because staying at ryokans, mostly the food will be based on whats available that season) so be sure to inquire if you would like to eat in the ryokan for dinner. We were able to choose what we wanted and there was an abundance of food served. We both were incredibly full.
- the hotsprings were FANTASTIC. I didnt want to go out at all haha!
- breakfast IS included in our booking and the food that was served was also exceptional!
- they also have a small gift shop for those that want to bring home mementos.
- there was a library that had coffee, also has a pretty good view.
- the staff were cordial, helpful and they really had great service.

The first day of our honeymoon trip was perfect. I would definitely return and book with them, and I highly recommend staying here.

Poor customer service / Scam

contacting the JTB to file an official complaint, try to get my money back. I have stayed in Ryokans across Japan - this should not be categorized as such. booking process: did not received a confirmation for my booking via email, and no one reached out to confirm my reservation. had to contact hotel directly through a chat portal - despite the advertisement the staff spoke English, no one did. Cancellation process is purposely misleading: it says you can cancel by X day, but check the fine print: you can cancel by 12:01 AM on X day. The first of many Scammy practices. On arrival no one spoke English. One staff member speaks but if they aren’t in the office (which was only one time) you are on your own. I was told meals were “sold out” - which is to say again, there should have been a confirmation or contact ahead of time to reserve the meals? I was able to get into breakfast, I was greeted by a waitress slamming plates rudely. food portion not a “meal” Map with food led to no open places. Request for taxi response “we’ll see” leaving me with feeling of dred I’d miss flight next day. Room cleaning costs extra, one of many extra costs not advertised. No one could bring my correct shoes. At checkout bill was in Japanese with extra charges, again,not advertised. At almost 400USD a night + scam fees this was a joke. Unlike traditional Ryokans I left anxious, frustrated and feeling taken advantage of. Will be contacting Tourism Board/Hotels.com for complaint and full refund.

Excellent Traditional Style Onsen Hotel

We had a great experience in this hotel. The front desk staff came out from the lobby to give us a warm welcome. He also took us to our room, showed us the hotel facilities and introduced the dinner and breakfast arrangement.
Dinner was kaiseki style and it was served in our room. The lady who served our dinner was attentive. She also made our bed after dinner. Breakfast was traditonal style and it was served in the breakfast room.
Onsens were quite nice as well and not very crowded. They swapped the male and female onsens in the morning, so we could try all onsens with 1 night stay. You can also book a 45 minute private onsen session with extra cost.

Traditional ryokan with great food but so-so onsen

Probably the most traditional ryokan I have ever stayed in. I reserved 3 rooms for our group and they upgraded 1 of them to a big room. They also served us dinner for our group of 8 inside our big room, which was nice. Did I mention the dinner quality was excellent? I have to say the onsen itself was very plain. It served the purpose but there was no view whatsoever. Size was also small but fortunately not many guests were there when we soaked. Also the rooms have no private showers or baths. You have to use the public bath. You have to climb 40 stairs to one of the two onsens assigned to men (onsens switch daily). Breakfast was served in the big restaurant and was of good quality. Rooms were old but kept in decent quality. Service was great.

Very dated hotel. Expected better for the money.

A pleasant Ryokan experience including some very good food but the hotel itself is clearly very dated and in need of a complete renovation. Some aspects can be excused but as an example, the sink in our unheated bathroom wouldn’t drain as it was coming away from the wall and the rattling ventilation system kept us awake at night.

The staff were friendly but some interactions like being told the bar was only open from 8pm to 10pm left us feeling we weren’t a priority.

Wouldn’t recommend.

A nice experience

We stayed during the week because the weekend prices were terribly high. The weekday price was still somewhat high but offered the best value/money compared to other accommodations in Arima Onsen at the time.

Our room was a nice mix of western (beds) and Japanese (sitting area) design. The room was clean and while not new, definitely well kept. The staff spoke English well and was very friendly and accommodating. We received a cup of green tea as a welcome and the workings of the room were explained to us. The \"mountain view\" may be a bit of an overstatement, nevertheless, the view was nice and there were mountains :) The room was quiet.

There are 2 onsen baths and you get to experience both during a 1 night stay: you enjoy one in the evening and the other one in the morning (gender separation). The onsens are a little small but the human traffic is spread out and we had a bath just to ourselves after a few minutes.

The only downside is the food which seems overpriced and not plentyful so we brought supplies from a nearby konbini :)

Beautiful traditional ryokan

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful hotel. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and very helpful, and one staff member even carried out luggage all the way to our room on the third floor (I felt guilty since I am an over-packer lol). This hotel is in an excellent location for exploring the arima hotsprings area and is close to excellent shopping. The arima toy museum is within easy walking distance. The food at the hotel is very traditional and delicious, and supper was served to us inside our hotel room. As for the hotsprings itself, there is both a public and a private option. The public bath is gorgeous with beautiful scenery of trees, and I'd recommend going at night to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. The private option cost just over 3000 yen for 45 minutes and was nice since my boyfriend and I could go in together. You have to book this option in advance with the hotel staff. Overall, this was a very relaxing and old hotel, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a traditional Japanese inn experience.

Excellent Ryokan Experience

Our stay at the Negiya Ryofukaku was nothing short of excellent. The staff were very professional and polite, accommodating both our very limited Japanese language skills and our request for a larger yukata (I'm apparently taller than the average guest). They do have english-speakers on staff, and the guide who walked us through the hotel's facilities and amenities was kind enough to explain everything in both Japanese and English, as we were trying to learn as much of the former and speak as little of the latter as possible. The room was very clean and spacious, with a great sitting balcony. Breakfast was delicious, and the onsen facilities were great. If possible, I recommend spending a little extra for a private onsen session, especially if you're still new to the idea of onsen. We didn't have a chance to try a dinner or the bar in the lobby, but both looked amazing. Again, an excellent stay.

The hotel staff met us at the station and picked up our luggage, even though it was too early to check in. They also gave us a ride to the town center, and let us off there, so that we could walk around the delightful little town of Arima.
Later, we checked in, and were served tea and a snack by our gracious hostess. Our room had lovely tatami floors and a tokonoma, with fresh flowers. Our party of six (we were staying in 3 separate rooms) all visited together in one room for a while. Later, we all walked to a nearby restaurant for dinner. The hotel staff picked us up at the restaurant and brought us back to the hotel.
In the evening, we had a long soak in the hot springs bath, outside in a beautiful setting. Meanwhile the hotel staff laid out our beautiful futon for us.
In the morning, we had a soak in a different hot springs bath in our hotel--outside, and on the side of a tree-lined hill. Then we were served a big, Japanese traditional breakfast. Finally, the hotel staff drove us, along with all of our luggage, to the station to see us off.

great service of hotel staff

The hotel is up on the hill but there is a courtesy car which help to carry our luggage from hotel to bus stop when leaving in the morning. Lady staff at reception even help to open umbrella to cover us when we were boarding the car.

Really nice, well-priced ryokan with spacious rooms and very polite staff. Very good set of onsen / public bath facilities and authentic traditional Japanese breakfast experience. Some may find the lack of wifi access in the rooms to be a problem, but not us - our objective was to get away from it all anyway!

Conveniently located hotel with great service

The onsen was kind enough to arrange car shuttle twice to pick up our group of 10 persons from the ropeway station because of my elderly mother in-law. The onsen has separate hot spring pool for male/female visitors, and within the pool, one clear indoor pool and one outdoor minrral pool.We had the meals included room package, and everyone enjoyed the kaiseki dinner and breakfast. Its also a short walk to the shopping street and the bus stop for direct ride to Sannomiya Station.

接客がとても良いです。レトロモダンと言った感じで、外国人の方が喜びそうな雰囲気だと思いました。朝食付きでしたが、とてもおいしかったです。車で行く場合は急な坂を上るので少し運転しにくいですが、旅館の外観は木々がたくさんあり、とても良く、秋に行ったら、紅葉がとても綺麗そうだと思い、また来たいと思いました。
