Weekdays, 16,677 yen for two people using Jalan couponIt's all-inclusive and offers unlimited beer.Unfortunately, since it was a weekday, there were no additional snacks or chocolates, and there was a lot of table tennis, so I couldn't get the free service.Keburikawa in Kyoto was twice as expensive as here, but for me it was better in terms of location and room size.

From Arima Onsen Station, walk up the hill for about 15 minutes.It seems that you can also reserve a shuttle bus.The room is large and has a separate bathroom and toilet. The desk was spacious, but there was no wired LAN.About 20-30mbps with wifi. It's not fast, but there's no problem using it.There weren't many outlets and the location was inconvenient.When you arrive, you can enjoy free beer, shochu, soft drinks, and chimaki.French fries and ochazuke will also be served from 8pm.The large public bath is Ginsen, an open-air bath, and a sauna.It's a pity that there is no cold bath, but the inside of Ginsen is a little warmer so you can stay in it for a long time.Some plans are all-inclusive and include all meals and drinks.This time I stayed alone without meals, but since there aren't many restaurants in Arima at night and the hotel is located on a hill, I thought it might be a good idea to get an all-inclusive plan. (Maybe not if you are alone)The price is cheap for a hotel with a hot spring, and I would like to stay there again.

The room was clean. The location is far from the station and the downtown area of ​​shops, so it is not convenient to go out.The road leading to the downtown area is narrow, pitch black at night, and has quite a steep slope. More than 20 minutes on foot. It is best to avoid going out after the sun goes down.Hospitality lounge has good service. However, even though you can drink as much alcohol as you want, I am very dissatisfied with the fact that food is limited to one small chimaki per person until 8pm.As someone like me who doesn't like alcohol, I was dissatisfied that there was no food even though there was unlimited beer and whiskey. There are no convenience stores or shops within walking distance, so if you're hungry, you'll have to wait until you see someone drinking beer next to you, and you'll be very dissatisfied.I would like to have food available from the time of check-in, since it is cheaper than beer.

First of all, there is no hot spring. I was surprised to see normal hot water. The shabu-shabu meat was frozen and not edible. I was humiliated by taking my family and relatives with me. Even if the rooms are renovated, the weakness of facilities run by public organizations is that the staff are arrogant. It's scary that unlike Greenpia, it won't go bankrupt because an unlimited amount of tax money will be invested into it. Mutual aid fees collected from employees are the same as taxes.

A wide range of alcoholic drinks and light snacks are provided at the all-inclusive hotel. The hot springs were also spacious and great. It's a little far from the center of the hot spring town and the area around the hotel is sloped, but it was perfect for a walk.

I used it with a friend.It was all-inclusive and perfect.All of the staff members who helped us were cheerful and friendly, making it a very enjoyable trip.The building may not be new, but it was well-maintained and clean.I didn't feel any stress at the hotel.There was table tennis, karaoke, and board games available for rent, making it a great time.It was so hot during the day that I was exhausted.I was grateful to be able to relax while having a drink in the lobby before going to my room or checking in.The hot spring was Ginsen, so if you want to enjoy Kinsen, you need to go somewhere else.One thing to keep in mind is access to the downtown area.It's a walkable distance if you're healthy, but if you have bad legs or are in poor physical condition, it might be a pain. (Climb up the hill for about 5 minutes)If you have elderly people with you, I think it would be better to park near the downtown area instead of at the hotel when walking.If you're healthy, it's good because you can digest even a little bit of the excess food😂I'm glad I was able to stay at a good hotel. thank you very much.

First visit to Arima Onsen. About 20 minutes walk from the limousine bus stop. I tried to take a leisurely walk, but it felt like climbing a mountain😅The slope was amazing.The farthest hotel from downtown. Transportation available. I walked another 20 minutes to the city center for the night without meals.Most Arima Onsen restaurants accept cash only. I can't use card electronic money 😥😨 In this era of cashless payments. Very tight 😭The room is spacious and clean. Of course outside! Many mountains of.Welcome drink included. Why Suntory is a beer that you can drink many times (I'm happy) 😥⁉️ If you're feeling hungry, try chimaki or ochazuke ⤴️⤴️You can enjoy the hot spring ♨ both morning and night. There is an open-air bath and you can't see the night view. You can hardly see outside.There is a sauna. Hair dryers are common in both self-flow rooms and bathrooms.It would be nice if they provided body cream, hair oil, etc. There is no lotion, emulsion, or cleansing oil.Request ➜ It would be even better if there were more items that women 👩 would like 👌 It would be nice to be able to choose shampoo etc.The steps in the bathroom in the room are very high.It's difficult for elderly people with disabilities to climb up because they feel like they're struggling. If only I had a stepping stone👌Walls thin. The neighbors next door were having a party, and the loud voices could be heard all the way to the hallway 😭⤵️I can't watch BS. Borrow a mobile charger. Patterned yukata. I can't choose a pillow. Carry a basket bag (too big) to walk around the facility.

All inclusive. I'm glad that it includes not only drink service, but also snacks, late night snacks, massage chairs, table tennis, and karaoke. There were shampoos and conditioners to choose from in the public bath, so I felt very luxurious.Dinner was a multi-course meal, but you can adjust the amount as it is half buffet style. It was perfect for me, who is not a big eater. In addition, there was a wide selection of Japanese and Western alcoholic beverages, which exceeded my expectations.Everyone at the hotel had good service, was kind and comfortable.thank you very much.
