If you pay €300,- you expect the facilities to be free. Not having to pay 5000 yen for two people to use the swimming pool, while we respect the Japanese customs in the onsen not everybody is comfortable. The fact they have a pool and aim for tourist it feels like a standard money grab to ask for a fee to use the pool.Also breakfast is insanely early and closes real quick at 9.30 if you aren’t elderly but a young couple then this is not the place for you.

Nestled in the mountains, this property was such a relaxing stay for us. It was my first onsen experience and the staff and english instructions everywhere made it so easy to navigate. I highly recommend Arima Grand Hotel!

I love the Onsen so much. The location is quite out of town but hotel provides shuttle service often. The most important note if u come to Arima Onsen via JR bus is that after arriving the Arima Onsen bus stop (which seems no where and no public phone), try to cross the road and there are 2 choices1. your right ride finding the Train Station where there is public phone stall that you can call hotel to send shuttle to you.2. Your left side is the hotel bus stop that u can wait (the photo attached). And opposite that stop, u will see a public phone booth.For other shuttle spots, the public phone stall is available. Make sure you have at least 0.10 yen coin to make a call.Lastly, jap lunch at hotel is 👍

Good hotel with facilities for families. Onsen is average compared to these in Hokkaido. A bit too costly for this level of hot spring resort.
