Famous for its luscious beef and crisp, pure sake, the Japanese port of Kobe is a thriving metropolitan city with an international feel. The sake-brewing season runs from October through April, and that's the best time to take a tour of a kura (the Japanese word for brewery). Visit the Hakutsure Sake Brewery Museum year-round. Naturally, the nightlife here is prime perfection.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 167 reviews
Goshoboh was founded 800 years ago and is the oldest inn in the spa town of Arima, an exceptional spot with astonishing brick-coloured waters. «Gosho», which means «imperial palace», is an echo of the long, feudal era when the establishment was reserved for the nobility. It has maintained its renown and high quality. The region's excellent Kobe beef is also served here.
Onsen Seeping with Tradition
Reviewed By Thomas606We decided to book this onsen hotel based the rating given. The Hotel is located right next to the Arima bus terminal. We can access the arima onsen region either from Kyoto or from Osaka via Hankyu express bus. Once you step into the hotel, you step into history. The hotel does not have a lift, and access to your room is by stairs. All our luggage were sent out to our respective rooms by them. You need to take off your shoes before entering the hotel. Slippers would be provided for you. You would realise that time has stopped at its hotel doorstep. As we were there during weekends, there were street performances across the street. We booked a room with garden view. Both rooms share a nice garden. The onsen for the sexes is divided by a low wall. The onsen is refreshing and intimate. It has a boutique feel to the hotel. Both our breakfast were a fine dining experience with produces from neighbouring areas. This also applied to our dinner on the second night. Most cafes in the arima onsen are closed by 5 pm. Having a late dinner is quite difficult if we are travelling with oldies and teenagers. We may need to patronise the 7-11 for a quick bites. Lunch is not an issue.

Good Service
Reviewed By Paul7878Overall, my overnight stay was pretty good. In terms of other ryokan I have stayed, this one is average, but still better than a lot of other hotels around the world. The room was clean (spotless), comfortable, and had everything I needed. My room was at the end of the hall and, because of the location, the wi-fi was non-existent. To use the wi-fi, I hung out in the lobby. The lobby didn't have lounge chairs or anything like that. It was just a couple of chairs. There are two bathrooms with hot spring water and the two are shared by the eight rooms in the building. They advertise that you can use the bath in the main hotel in another building, but they're only available until 8pm. The availability is useless since the dinner meal will also end at 8pm. I guess you can use those facilities during the day. Dinner and breakfast was very good, but not stunning. (I was expecting Michelin Bib Gourmand or 1-star at least.) The staff was very helpful in arranging a taxi to take me to the famous night views on the mountain and explaining the facilities when I checked-in. On check-out, I received the usual Japanese hospitality. Would I stay here again? Probably not. At this price, I would try my luck at another ryokan and experience something different. If I could, my overall rating would be 3.5 stars so I rounded up.

Rather new hotel. Large twin room. Good amenities. Nearby shopping street.
Reviewed By mingzyHotel is about 10 min walk from Sannomiya Seishin Yamate station easy connection to Shinkansen station at shin-Kobe. There’s an underpass that links to the shopping street. Very convenient especially in the cold winter. About 15 min walk from the port liner. Not the nearest hotel but for the price, room size and quality, it’s value for money. 5 min walking distance to Daimaru department store. Lots of food and shopping nearby. The twin room is large even has a sitting area for 2. New hotel environment with comfy beds but only 1 pillow. Double sides- one hard one soft. The toilet has a large bath tub and modern toilet. The hotel lobby also has a selection of bath salts for you to enjoy soaking in your bath tub after a long day. Free water bottles for drinks too. Only downside of amenities is the toothbrush is sooo hard! They should select a soft type. Room cleaning is efficient and removed all trash. Good hotel to choose when visiting Kobe. Walking distance to many attractions like Meriken park, even Kitano foreign district around 15-20min. Lifts are too small though. Can only carry about 4-5 people with luggage each time. So prepare to leave early or you will wait a long time for lift at peak hour.

Love the outdoor onsen!
Reviewed By YvrjachhuThe onsen both indoor and outdoor were excellent! I especially enjoyed the outdoor wooden one! The room was super spacious and clean. Before my trip, I was worried about this horel not having non-smoking rooms. But it was not a problem at all. There was no smoking smell in our room. The food was nicely presented and decorated.

Fantastic stay with a lot of information about the excellent food
Reviewed By ROGERTYWe stayed at KAGETSU for the last night of our 20 days trip in Japan during October 2019. It was another marvelous demonstration of the unbelievable japanese hospitality and culinary skills. Takao Kanai and his family are very authentic hosts. Because of the typhoon shortly before our arrival, we were almost the only guests in the riokan and we could use one of the onsen like a private bath. The room was very spacious, traditional puristic, clean and with a fantastic view to the Kobe Bay. During all japanese dinner and breakfast, Takao San gave us a lot of very interesting and helpful information about the ingredients and preparation of the dishes. This was exremely helpful to understand some elements of food that are not known to us. I absolutely recommend to stay at KAGETSU and with Takao Kanai Family in the first days of your trip, so you'll profit from the manifold information about japanese kitchen and the preparation - presented in English language! When we'll go back to Japan in the next view years, KAGETSU will be one of the first and prioritized places to stay.

Nice hospitality and hot spring
Reviewed By HolamsoWe have booked luxury Japanese room with private open-air hot spring bath for a day. The room is very nice, you can experience how comfortable of the traditional Japanese style tatami. Also, the dinner and breakfast are delicious, you can choose 3-4 time slot to enjoy room service from Arima Onsen. The most important is we can enjoy our private open air hot spring bath anytime, it was awesome you can relax and breath fresh air from a small garden. A small accident happened during we leave Arima Onsen, we found we lost our scarf and wristband when we back Osaka already. Arima Onsen helped us to keep our stuffs and sent back it to our countries, we are so thankful for their kind assistance.

Relaxing and Pleasant Stay!
Reviewed By Lisa LWe visited here in a group of 4 with 2 seniors among us. To better take care of the seniors (as they don't understand Japanese and are not fluent in English), we have booked a big room with private bath so that we could stay in the same room for the night. The environment of the premises is great and we got a good view from our room (facing the mountain). The staff are nice and helpful. No need to worry if you don't speak Japanese, the staff at the front desk are fluent in English! We had our dinner and breakfast in our room. The food are so delicious that we can't stop eating even we are already full. The onsen is very good too. We, the younger couple, have booked the private bath at 2/F (which you could use for 40 mins) while the seniors could use the private bath in our room. Both are very relaxing!

Genuine Japanese onsen experience
Reviewed By organisitI can't fault this hotel. It may not be as fancy as some but this hotel is a genuine Japanese experience, with a beautiful mineral hot spring right in the hotel. On cold mornings and evenings, it is glorious. I included the Breakfast and Dinner set in my accommodation booking, and the staff and the food were faultless. The language barrier was more than overcome by the willingness of the staff to meet every need that you could hope for.....they were the genuine example of Japanese hospitality and warmth. Genuine tatami Japanese room was relaxing and very clean, with attentive room attendants. Overall value for money, with an genuine Japanese experience that money can't buy. The township of Arima is beautiful, but this hotel is located at the top of the mountain, providing a picturesque view of the town and the surrounding nature. Just wished I had booked a room on the upper floors (above level 4) to enjoy the view more. Thanks for such a wonderful insight into the Japanese onsen culture.
