Nestled in the bosom of Mt. Rokko, Arima Onsen is one of the oldest hot springs in Japan and one of the three most famous hot springs in Japan.
Arimasansou Goshobessho, an inn with all rooms separated from each other, is located in a vast area of 1,400 tsubos.
During the opening of Japan in the Meiji era (1868-1912), when the settlement began to be established in Kobe, many foreigners visited Arima Onsen and enjoyed the autumn leaves at Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
Eventually, Kiyomizu-dera became the Kiyomizu Hotel, which welcomed many foreigners and laid the foundation for the foreigner-only hotel district.
Goshobessho, located on the former site of the hotel, still has the unique atmosphere of the foreign culture of the time and the ancient Japanese culture.

One of the most attractive features of this inn is that each room is equipped with a thermal relaxation room called a “thermal room,” the only one of its kind in Japan.
This is a room that is kept at a temperature close to the body temperature, which is made in reference to hot spring facilities in Europe.
It is said to be effective in boosting the immune system by forcibly warming the body and maintaining the same temperature range as the body temperature at all times.
It is especially recommended for those who have a sensitivity to cold, and you can spend your time reading or enjoying a cup of tea as you wish.
It is said that many people come to this inn for this purpose.
