One of the largest inns in Arima, with a history spanning over 700 years since its establishment.
Enjoy Arima at three hot springs filled with golden spring water and in high-quality guest rooms.
The open-air bath "Ichinoyu" is filled with reddish-brown gold spring water. Arima Onsen is a rare hot spring in the world, containing seven of the nine types of spring quality designated as therapeutic springs: simple hot spring, carbon dioxide spring, bicarbonate spring, chloride spring, sulfate spring, ferruginous spring, and radioactive spring.
Located on a hill in Arima Onsen, Hyoe Koyokaku of the largest hot spring resorts in Japan, boasting a history of 700 years.
A popular activity is the "Three Hot Springs and Nine Baths of Golden Springs Tour," where you can enjoy large baths of different types: the Japanese-style "Ichino-yu," the Roman-style "Nino-yu," and the hot spring resort-style "Sanno-yu."
The name of the large bath was taken from the time when Arima only had one water outlet, and Hyoe belonged to the "second bath." The golden spring, which turns reddish brown when exposed to air, was also a favorite of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It's nice to enjoy the hot spring while thinking about such history. You can also enjoy the golden spring in a private bath with a garden.
The East, West and North buildings are all equipped with elegantly furnished guest rooms, offering views of the hot spring town and the Rokko mountain range.

This luxurious 100m2 space includes a garden, a semi-open-air golden spring bath, a Japanese-style room, a bedroom and a private dining room, and is perfect for up to eight people on a three-generation trip.
The top floor of the West Wing features a guest room with an open-air bath, and the corner room on the top floor of the West Wing features a Japanese modern room with a dining room called "Hanaemi." The space is decorated with gorgeous textiles that evoke the nature of Arima and the flickering of the hot springs. The spacious room is equipped with twin beds and a view bath, allowing you to enjoy the mountain ranges of Ura Rokko.
