You can park your car from 13:00 on the same day, making it easy to go sightseeing.If you leave your car keys at the front desk, they will store your car for you. You can sightsee until check-in time. Even after you leave, you can go in and out with your key, so it's easy to go to the convenience store.There are two baths, but one is open in the open and there is no washing area, so it's right next to the changing area, so if there are a lot of people, it might be uncomfortable.Acorns are falling from above.There are two indoor baths, gold and silver, that you can enjoy.It's not that big so it might be difficult if it gets crowded, maybe 20 people at most.There is also a sauna, but the temperature is 80 degrees, enough to fit 6 people, and the door doesn't close properly, making it lukewarm. The clock had an hourglass.There is also a cold bath, but it feels like tap water. It's not cold It's hard to cool down because there's nowhere to rest.

The rooms were not very good. There's still an old man's smell, there aren't many electrical outlets, you can't manage the air conditioner yourself, and the wiring between chairs and pots is bad. The open-air bath is in a completely different location from the regular bath, which is extremely inconvenient. You need to change your clothes and go outside. Also, the shower in the washing area is of the type that you press and turns off automatically after a certain amount of time. I only have a short time in the shower, so I was annoyed that the shower would stop and I would have to press the shower every time I wanted to wash. The dryer didn't have much wind so it took a long time to dry. But it was great to be able to enter both Kinsen and Ginsen. The food was very delicious. The staff at the store were friendly and talked to me, so it was fun. Since Arima is in the mountains, it gets very cold in the mornings and nights. If you are sensitive to cold, it is better to add a futon or blanket. When I called the front desk to say I couldn't sleep because it was cold, they brought a heater. The staff was very kind and helpful. Anyway, the hot springs were great.

If you take the train, it's right next to the station. Even by bus, it's only a few minutes walk, so the time goes by quickly while browsing the souvenir shops.The hotel was clean, the rooms were spacious, and I was satisfied with the amenities. The food was delicious and I was way too full.It was also nice to be able to enjoy both Kin-no-Yu and Gin-no-Yu hot springs.

You can stay at Arima Onsen for this price, and it's fully equipped with a gold spring, a silver spring, a sauna, and an open-air bath (that's how it's described here). The breakfast buffet is also satisfying with a wide variety of items. And 2 minutes walk from the station.

The indoor air conditioner was too cold. In the room, I could only adjust the airflow, but I couldn't adjust the temperature, probably because it was set by the hotel. I felt that the breakfast buffet, large public bath, and open-air bath were good.

Reasonable accommodation in Arima Onsen ♨️ I recommend the bathhouse that can be used in both Kinsen and Ginsen!! ️The food is also satisfying with a variety of ingredients from the mountains and sea, such as wagyu beef sukiyaki and sashimi platter 😋Good value for money accommodation rather than luxury 🎵
